Modeling Fracture and Failure with Abaqus
TECHNIA are a Dassault Systèmes Authorised Certification Center
This course covers the techniques for capturing crack-tip singularities in fracture mechanics problems. We will teach you to use Abaqus/CAE to create appropriate meshes for fracture studies. You will be able to simulate material damage and failure and simulate crack growth using cohesive behaviour like VCCT and XFEM.
Duration:
3 days
Course Objective:
Fracture and failure modeling allows for product designs that maximize the safe operating life of structural components. Abaqus offers many capabilities that enable fracture and failure modeling. The course provides a detailed discussion of these capabilities.
The course covers the following topics:
- Proper modeling techniques for capturing crack-tip singularities in fracture mechanics problems
- Proper modeling techniques for finite-strain (nonlinear) fracture mechanics problems
- Using Abaqus/CAE to create meshes appropriate for fracture studies
- Calculation of stress intensity factors and contour integrals around a crack tip
- Material damage and failure models
- Wear and erosion modeling
- Simulating crack growth using cohesive connections
- Simulating crack growth using VCCT
- Simulating crack growth using XFEM
- Simulating low-cycle fatigue crack growth
Who Should Attend?
Recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus. Experience with Abaqus/CAE is desirable.
