Advanced Finite Element Analysis of Off-Axis Tunnel Cracking Laminates
The project investigates off-axis oriented tunnel cracking laminates. It focuses on cracks growing at an angle to the primary fiber direction in layered laminates. By examining factors such as ply thickness, crack spacing, and material properties, the study analyzes how these elements influence the energy release rate and mode mix during crack propagation. The project employs Abaqus CAE, along with UEL and UMAT subroutines, to model and analyze these cracks. It offers comprehensive insights into crack growth mechanics under various loading conditions. Moreover, a Python script is used to automate the entire simulation process. It handles tasks such as geometry creation, defining model properties, setting boundary conditions, generating and modifying input files, and post-processing. So, it enables us to calculate crack profiles and energy release rates. The project benefits researchers, engineers, academics, and industry practitioners by providing valuable methodologies and insights into the behavior of composite materials.
Tunnel excavation simulation using TBM in Abaqus
Notice: This package will be available one week after purchase.
Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are advanced construction equipment used to excavate tunnels with efficiency and precision. These massive machines consist of a rotating cutting wheel equipped with disc cutters, which excavate the soil or rock, and a conveyor system that removes the excavated material from the tunnel. TBMs play a crucial role in various industries, including transportation, mining, and underground infrastructure development. TBM simulation is of utmost importance in the planning and execution of tunneling projects. It allows engineers and project managers to evaluate the feasibility of different tunneling methods, optimize the design and operation of TBMs, and predict potential challenges and risks. By simulating the TBM's performance and behavior under various geological conditions, factors such as ground stability, excavation rates, cutter wear, and potential impacts on surrounding structures can be analyzed and mitigated. In this package, you will learn how to do a TBM simulations by several practical examples.
