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.
