9 Practical Workshops for SPH in Abaqus💡 | Abaqus SPH Tutorial
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Tutorial: Abaqus SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) is a numerical method used in this software to model fluid-structure interaction problems. SPH in Abaqus is a meshless approach that uses a set of particles to discretize the fluid domain. The Abaqus SPH modeling tutorial is particularly useful for problems with large deformations, fragmentation, and free surface effects.
It can be used in combination with other Abaqus features, such as finite element analysis, to model coupled fluid-structure systems. This Abaqus SPH tutorial, created by CAE Assistant group, can help you understand and apply this method through practical examples, some of which include projectile impact simulation on a cementitious material, TNT explosion simulation inside a rock using the SPH method, bullet movement through a water pipe in Abaqus, and bird strike simulation in Abaqus.
Masonry wall Abaqus simulation
The term masonry can refer to the construction materials brick, stone, etc. An assembly of masonry units, such as concrete blocks, burnt clay bricks, sundried bricks, stone bricks, and natural stones, linked together with mortar or grout is referred to as a masonry wall. It is important to know how these structures behave under different loading conditions, such as explosion, tension, earthquake, etc. to have the best design. In this package, you’ll learn all of that in four workshops: Behavior of a masonry wall under a couple Eulerian-Lagrangian explosion, micro modeling of a masonry wall, modeling of reinforced bricks masonry beams using GFRP reinforcement, earthquake simulation over masonry wall.
Geostatic Relates to the pressure exerted by the earth or similar substance. Total stress at a point due to the combined weight of the soil or rock (solids plus water) and the load on the foundation is called Geostatic stress. Geostatic analysis is used in cases such as earthquakes, designing a dam, analyzing the foundation of a structure, etc. In this package, three workshops are presented to learn the Geostatic analysis: The first workshop analyzes a water column broke under the weight of gravity, the second workshop simulates an earthquake load over a gravity dam in contact with water and dirt, the last workshop models cylindrical tank's water sloshing phenomenon.
A mathematical model called the Mohr-Coulomb theory describes how brittle materials, such as concrete or rubble piles, react to both shear stress and normal stress. This rule is followed by the majority of traditional engineered materials in at least some of their shear failure envelope. In this package, you will learn how to use this theory in four practical examples: Analysis of surface explosion damage to an underground box tube in ABAQUS, dynamic analysis of a tunnel in soil subjected to internal blast loading, An internal explosion-related numerical simulation of the behavior of a pipeline's damage mechanics, and for cases utilizing crashworthiness, simulate an Eulerian method to soil impact analysis.
Steel materials are everywhere and used in almost every structure, from the building you live into the car you drive. Therefore, it’s essential to know the steel properties and behaviors when it’s under different loading conditions such as compression, tension, cyclic load, impact, etc. moreover, knowing the damage mechanism of steel structures helps to have better designing. In this tutorial package, you will learn how to analyze steel structures when they’re damaged with practical examples. There are five workshops here that could teach you the damage mechanism of steel structures: Simulation of bolt failure on the steal beam, reinforced concrete containment damage mechanism under internal explosion, tensile test of a steel specimen, impact on ceramic plate reinforced by steel plate, water jet cutting simulation.
Water is the primary component of the Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living things. Therefore, we build dams to store the water and transfer it through piping systems to use it for daily activities and produce energy. In industries, we use it as a cooler, solvent, hydroforming, cutting, etc. In this package, there are nine practical examples, such as the ones mentioned to teach you how to simulate water in Abaqus. These examples are explosions in the depth of the water, gravity dam simulation subjected to the underwater explosion, ball impact to the water, water jet cutting, etc.
The study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids, including issues like vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound, is the focus of the physics subfield of acoustics. A shock wave is a sort of disturbance that propagates across a medium faster than the local speed of sound. In industry, we use acoustic loading in cases such as hydraulic forming, SONAR, seismology, acoustic emission, vibration analysis, engine testing, etc. In this package, you will learn how to model acoustic loadings and shock loadings in four workshops: Deformation behavior of a stiffened panel subjected to underwater shock loading, Acoustic method-based numerical simulation of the electro-hydraulic forming process, Failure modes of concrete gravity dams simulation exposed to an underwater explosion, and Simulation of hull Coupled acoustic-structural response subjected to an underwater explosion.
Foam is a type of expanded plastic and rubber produced by forcing gas bubbles into a polymer material. It is a permeating, lightweight material. Along with corrugated packaging, foam fabric can protect goods during transportation. Foams, a novel family of ultra-light materials, have the capacity to undergo significant deformation at practically constant plateau stress, which allows them to absorb a significant amount of kinetic energy. In this tutorial package, you will learn how to analyze sandwich panels with an interior layer of foam, Foam-Filled Aluminum Tubes subjected to compressive loads, simulation of a reinforced foamed concrete beam, concrete-titanium foam panel explosion, etc. All of these cool practical examples with their complete tutorial videos are in this package which you can read their description below.
Earthquake simulation in Abaqus
It is known that an earthquake is a disastrous event that can cause great damage to buildings, structures, and even people. So it's essential to know how a structure will behave when subjected to an earthquake. Therefore engineers must take into account the possibility of an earthquake when designing a structure. With finite element analyses, engineers can predict the behaviour of structures under earthquake loading. With this method, they can determine the best way to design a structure to withstand an earthquake. In this package, you can learn how to do earthquake simulation in Abaqus to have the best design for your structure to save human lives. Three practical examples are presented to you to start simulating earthquakes: “simulating an earthquake over a gravity dam in contact with water and soil”, “simulating an earthquake load over a water-filled tank”, “Abaqus-Micro model simulation of seismic load over masonry wall (concrete brick)”.
Fluid-Structure Interaction also known as FSI is a multiphysics problem where the fluid and structure are coupled. The fluid flow can cause the structure to deform, and the deformation of the structure can affect the flow. So when you want to design something, you need to know how the structure will deform and how that deformation affects the flow. Common examples of FSI analysis are airplanes, cars, spacecrafts, and buildings. Other examples like junctions in piping systems, or the human circulatory system. CFD is a branch of research that uses numerical methods to solve the mathematical equations governing fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomena. In Abaqus, you can model both methods. In this package, we present to you three workshops to get you started with Abaqus CFD and FSI: “Using Abaqus CFD methods, examining heat mixing and reverse flow characteristics in a T-junction”, “impact of air velocity over the short column”, “simulate fluid structure interaction on an aluminum body with a flexible tail in Abaqus”.
