IGFEM modeling of transverse failure in carbon-epoxy composites and implementation of the IGFEM in Abaqus FEA
… the commercial finite element analysis package Abaqus through the use of common linear four-node tetrahedral elements and the User Element Library API. This implementation was verified against analytical and conforming mesh solutions.

Experimental study of ductile fracture of tubes under combined tension/torsion
… of 1045 steel with a torsion simulation in the ABAQUS FEA software program. A simulation of a tension test on a round bar of 1045 steel was first executed to determine the correct stress-strain curve for 1045 steel. A torsion specimen was designed based on the constraints of the testing machine, …

Finite Element Analysis of the Connection Behavior of Precast Prestressed Piles to Cast-In-Place Bent Caps
… finite element models were built using ABAQUS FEA version 6.10 in order to perform a parametric study used to determine the connection behavior of precast prestressed pile to cast in place bent caps for various pile sizes and bent cap embedment depths. Current construction practice in …

Smart shoe force sensor development and analysis for walking gait
… Past work developed accurate material models in Abaqus CAE to simulate foot contacts for compression and shear. This thesis builds upon the FEA models for two sensor sizes to create a simple model to measure torque and contact angle given force measured by the sensor. Using experiments with …

Failure Prediction of Honeycomb Panel Joints using Finite Element Analysis
… joint capability using finite element analysis (FEA) is possible. This allows for the potential elimination of coupon testing early in a spacecraft design program to determine joint capability. Linear finite element analysis (FEA) in NX Nastran was used to show that adhesive failure can be …

Aircraft Anti-Icing Analysis: Water Droplet Dynamics Under High-Frequency Atomization and Superhydrophobic Effects
… The study also establishes protocols for Abaqus FEA to simulate the frequency response of a PZT attached to a flat plate and outlines the design and construction of a supercooling chamber.

Multi-axial fracture behaviour of notched carbon-fibre/epoxy laminates
… is developed using the commercial FE program, Abaqus FEA to simulate the observed progressive damage and failure in the quasi-isotropic specimens. The FE model employs independent material property data as inputs. Overall, good correlation between the simulations and the experiments is …

Deformations of In-plane Loaded Unsymmetrically Laminated Composite Plates
… does not occur. The finite-element program ABAQUS is used to obtain results, and a portion of the study is devoted to becoming familiar with the way ABAQUS handles such highly geometrically nonlinear problems, particularly for composite materials and particularly when instabilities and …

Multidisciplinary Optimization and Damage Tolerance of Stiffened Structures
… pressure, using the commercial software ABAQUS. We show that the presence of the thin notch affects only the local response of the structure and that the size of the affected area depends on the notch length. We investigate also the effect of the notch shape on the response of the …

Developing a Vehicle Hydroplaning Simulation using Abaqus and CarSim
… (FSI) between the tire-water-road surfaces. Abaqus FSI CEL approach has been used to study tire traction with various vehicle configurations. The tire force data obtained from the Finite Element simulations is used to develop a full vehicle hydroplaning model by integrating the relevant …
