Large Deformation in ABAQUS via UMAT
1. An Introduction to Non-Linear Continuum Mechanics Finite deformation (also called large deformation or finite strain theory) is a framework in continuum mechanics that describes the behavior of materials undergoing significant volume changes, where strains and rotations are not small. Contrary to small deformation theories, which assume infinitesimal changes, finite deformation accounts for geometric non-linearities […]
History of FEA Computation Time
In the past decade, processor performance has increased significantly, leading to a huge jump in computational speed. For example, the first computers, such as the ENIAC, could perform 385 multiplications per second, whereas modern processors can perform more than 11 trillion operations per second (more than 28 million times faster). In addition, computation methodologies have […]
