Simulation of Pitting Corrosion Mechanism with Scripting in Abaqus
Pitting corrosion is a form of extremely localized corrosion that leads to the random creation of small holes in metal. It can occur with random sizes and distributions, typically modeled as conical or cylindrical shapes. This type of corrosion reduces the strength of structures and increases stress concentration. So, it can lead to various destructive effects such as pipes bursting and reduced resistance to internal pressure. By pitting corrosion simulation, you can assess how corrosion affects stress, vibration, heat transfer, and other factors. This is crucial for enhancing the durability and safety of structures such as storage tanks, shafts, tubes, pipes, and other industrial components. This tutorial includes two scripts for pitting corrosion analysis. They help you to conduct Abaqus pitting corrosion simulation for different examples including a simple plate and a shaft.

Full Composite fatigue Add-on (Academic and industrial usage)
This package is designed to instruct users on how to utilize the composite fatigue modeling Add-on, which removes the need to write a subroutine for composite fatigue modeling. Instead, users can select the composite type, input material properties, and generate the subroutine by clicking a button. The Add-on includes four types of composites, and the generated subroutine for all types is the UMAT. These four types are Unidirectional, Woven, short fiber composites (chopped), and wood. The fatigue criteria used for each type are the same as its respective package. For example, the fatigue criteria for woven composites are identical to that used in the "Simulation of woven composite fatigue in Abaqus" package. This Add-on provides a simple graphical user interface for composite fatigue modeling, which can be utilized for both academic and industrial applications.

Composite Fatigue Simulation with VUMAT Subroutine in ABAQUS
This training package consists of four chapters that help engineers and researchers in the industry to understand the fundamental concepts and necessary tools for simulating composite fatigue using VUMAT subroutine in ABAQUS. The first chapter provides an overview of the fatigue behavior of composite materials, including the factors contributing to fatigue failure. The second chapter explores the failure mechanisms of composite materials and the types of damage that can occur. The third chapter discusses the effects of fatigue on composite materials, including how it affects the material's properties and performance. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on using the VUMAT subroutine in ABAQUS for composite fatigue analysis, including the material models and criteria used to simulate the behavior of composite materials under various loading conditions. By mastering the concepts and tools presented in this package, engineers can develop more durable and reliable composite structures that can withstand cyclic loading over extended periods of time.

Fatigue damage simulation of short fibre composites with subroutine
Fatigue failure in materials occurs when repetitive or fluctuating stresses, below the ultimate strength and often below the yield limit, lead to sudden and unpredictable failure, making it a significant concern in engineering due to its potential for catastrophic consequences. The reinforced part of the fiber-reinforced composites can be categorized as continuous or discontinuous, with the latter referred to as short fiber-reinforced composites. In this training package, the fatigue of short (chopped) fiber composites is explained. Two fatigue damage models are presented for short fiber composites: Nouri fatigue damage model and Avanzini fatigue damage model. The Nouri’s model is applicable for composites with orthotropic behavior. But the Avanzini’s model has considered the fiber distribution in the matrix to be homogeneous and random. It has assumed the material behavior to be isotropic. Also, Nouri's model was developed for strain-controlled test, but Avanzini's model was developed for stress-controlled test. In this tutorial, we use the Avanzini’s model, which is base on this article: “Fatigue behavior and cyclic damage of peek short fiber reinforced composites”. This article has implemented the USDFLD subroutine, but we use the UMAT subroutine, which is more accurate than USDFLD since the material strength and properties reduction is smooth. A standard test specimen is used in this simulation to model such behavior. You will learn the details in the package.

Simulation of woven composite fatigue in Abaqus
The training package focuses on simulating woven composite fatigue using Abaqus software and the modified Hashin fatigue damage model based on the article titled "Life prediction of woven CFRP structure subject to static and fatigue loading ". Woven composites have high strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios, but the interlacing pattern can affect stress distribution and damage mechanisms, making fatigue analysis crucial. The package includes four lessons covering different types of composite fatigue models, material characterization, generalization of the failure model, and the implementation of the UMAT subroutine. Two workshops provide hands-on experience in implementing the UMAT subroutine on one element in cyclic tension and a complex model. Fatigue analysis predicts material behavior under cyclic loading and helps design safe and reliable structures.
