In this webinar we will look at some of the characteristics of metal’s inelastic behaviors under monotonic and cyclic loading and how these behaviors can be modelled in Abaqus with the use of inelasticity models. In specific, the bilinear elastic-plastic, kinematic and isotropic hardening plasticity models will be discussed.

Information about the modelling of damage will also be provided for metals experiencing a ductile type of failure.

In this webinar we will look at three of these modelling techniques; SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), CEL (Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian) and DEM (Discrete Element Modelling).  For each technique the webinar will walk through how they are implemented in Abaqus and consider practical examples demonstrating when each technique is most appropriate. 

This capability is available without the need for extended tokens and therefore may be of interest to anyone already familiar with Abaqus.
