Post conference workshop
ACCM 2018 Post Conference Workshop
ACCM 2018 are delighted to offer a workshop on developing a UMAT for both plasticity and fracture. Seats are limited, and will cost an additional $50 per person including GST.
The workshop will cover developing a plasticity model and a fracture model for ABAQUS using UMAT.
The structure of an ABAQUS user subroutine will be introduced in the work shop. It will review the elastic and elasto-plastic stiffness, the stress integration with Euler forward and backward methods. A UMAT will be developed and tested on a one shell element with Hill 1948 yield criterion, with the possibility for more advanced models if time permits.
The second part of this workshop will introduce basic ductile fracture criteria, experimental design for the calibration of fracture coefficients, matlab codes for the calibration of fracture coefficients and drawing of fracture envelopes in various stress and strain space, leading to the development of a UMAT for fracture prediction in ABAQUS. A simple application will be given based on the von Mises yield function for the prediction of ductile fracture with element deletion.
To sign up for the workshop, please select the available option at the time of registration.
