Training Seminar Descriptions
Modeling Fracture and Failure with Abaqus
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. This seminar provides a detailed
discussion of these capabilities. During the seminar's lectures and workshops
users will learn about:
- 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 elements
- Simulating crack growth using VCCT for Abaqus
Who should attend:
This seminar is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus.
Experience with Abaqus/CAE is desirable.
