Metal Inelasticity in Abaqus
Objective:
Properly modeling the inelastic behavior of materials is
very important when evaluating the performance of a
design in critical loading situations. This seminar provides
a brief overview of the inelastic behavior observed in
metals and the basic concepts of plasticity theory. The
primary objective of the seminar is to show Abaqus users
how to model:
- Metals that show inelastic work hardening
- The Bauschinger effect
- "Ratchetting" and relaxation of the mean stress under
cyclic loading
- Strain-rate-dependent inelastic behavior
- Temperature-dependent plasticity
- Heat generated by plastic deformation
- Ductile failure of metallic materials
- Plastic behavior in porous and brittle (cast iron) metals
- Creep behavior in metals
A combination of examples and workshops is used to
demonstrate the material models that can simulate these
effects and the type of experimental data necessary to
calibrate them. The assumptions and limitations of the
various plasticity and creep models are also discussed.
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with
experience using Abaqus.
