Quote:Take advantage of this web-based course on "Classical Fracture and Failure with Abaqus" right from your desk — no productivity loss due to travel and no travel expenses. The lecture content of this web-based course is conveniently scheduled over two morning sessions. The course workshops can be completed during the afternoons at your convenience, while support engineers from SIMULIA West are available by phone to help you.
Objective:
You will learn the necessary techniques and strategies used for evaluating a structure with an existing flaw. In addition, an introduction to the damage based cohesive elements and surfaces will be given for those interested in advancing from classical fracture mechanics to crack propagation studies.
Topics that will be covered include:
* Classical fracture mechanics primer
* 2D and 3D crack modeling techniques
* 2D and 3D meshing strategies
* Specifying the singularity at the crack tip
* Stress intensity factors
* Contour integrals
* Fracture specific output requests
* Overview of damage framework and cohesive technology
* Stabilization techniques related to cohesive behavior
* Damage specific output requests related to cohesive behavior
