(1)
Thermoplastic polymers are materials composed of long molecular chains primarily consisting of carbon. These polymers possess the unique ability to be shaped and molded under heat and pressure while retaining their stability once formed. This high formability makes them widely used in various industries, including furniture production, plumbing fixtures, automotive components, food packaging containers, and other consumer products. This package introduces a thermodynamically consistent damage model capable of accurately predicting failure in thermoplastic polymers.  The implementation of this model is explained through the use of an ABAQUS user material (UMAT) subroutine. The package is structured as follows. The introduction section Provides an overview of thermoplastic polymers and their mechanical properties. In the Theory section, the constitutive damage model and its formulation are reviewed. Then, an algorithm for numerically integrating the damage constitutive equations is presented in the Implementation section.

Wood damage simulation with Abaqus subroutine | Wood damage FEM

 220.0

Wood, a natural material essential for various applications, can suffer damage that compromises its structural integrity. Therefore, damage prediction is vital for maintaining the reliability of both new and existing wooden structures. While experimental methods for predicting wood damage can be costly and complex, numerical simulations, such as those using wood damage FEM, offer a more efficient and safer alternative. These simulations, adaptable to different conditions and materials, allow for a comprehensive analysis of wood behavior. However, they may face challenges due to wood's complex properties. Well-known numerical models, such as the Hashin, Sandhaas, and Balsa, have been introduced to analyze damage in wooden structures. We have implemented them in Abaqus CAE, a powerful software. As the models are not defined in its material library, we have used the VUSDFLD subroutine. It enables failure prediction and stiffness degradation. This tutorial, with its step-by-step guide, helps you to write the VUSDFLD subroutine for the presented damage models, leveraging the capabilities of wood damage FEM.
