Elastic-Plastic Analysis of a Notched Plate

ABAQUS for CATIA VS Tutorials

Introduction:

This tutorial is an extension of the problem described in chapter 2. The plate with a central hole is pulled with a high load which drives the part into the plastic range. The true stress/true strain curve is provided in tabular form for the plasticity model.

Problem Statement:

The steel plate shown below is subjected to a pressure load P at the two ends. Contrary to the earlier model in chapter 2, the three planes of symmetry are used to reduce the finite element model as shown.

CATIA Model:

Create the CATIA model of the indicated plate with the following dimensions. L = O.15m, H = O.lm, W = O.02m, and D = O.025m.

The next several steps are new and were not required in chapter 2, which was primarily dealing with linear elastic analysis.

Check the Plasticity box PlasiBcibj and select the default Isotropic Hardening rule. Since the material data in the problem under consideration is assumed to be at a fixed temperature, uncheck the appropriate box.

You are now in the position to input the true stress/true strain data.

Applying the Pressure Load:

CATIA and ABAQUS for CATIA V5 (APC) are geometrically based packages. This means that the restraints and loads have to be applied on the geometrical entities associated with the part. For example, these entities can be a vertex, an edge, a face, or the entire body. One cannot apply restraints and loads on nodes or elements.

The mesh that appears on the screen must therefore be replaced with the actual part.

Point the cursor to the branch of the tree labeled Equivalent Plastic Strain.1, right click, and select Activate/Deactivate. This will deactivate the contour and places the part on the screen. Note that both contours plotted are deactivated now. This time activate the first contour namely, Translational displacement magnitude.1.

Obviously, every time a contour is plotted, by default the previous contour is deactivated.

The part is cut with a plane and the contour entity (in this case Translational displacement) can be viewed in the cut part. Note that the plane can be manipulated by the compass; for example, it can be translated and rotated as desired. This feature is useful to view the variable on interest inside of the part.

You may be interested in placing the two contours on the screen side-by-side. This is very simple. First you have to make both contours active. This is achieved by placing the cursor on the two contour plots in the tree, right clicking, and selecting Activatel Deactivate.
