Bolt Analysis Package in Abaqus
Introduction to Bolt Analysis and Simulation Bolts are among the most common fastening elements in engineering, used to join parts in machinery, structures, and vehicles. Although they may seem simple, bolts are often critical for safety and reliability, failure of a single bolt can cause entire systems to fail. To ensure performance, engineers use bolt […]
Ceramic and Silicon Carbide Analysis Package in Abaqus
Introduction to Ceramic and Silicon Carbide Analysis Using the Finite Element Method (FEM) 1. Overview Ceramic materials, particularly Silicon Carbide (SiC), play a crucial role in advanced engineering applications where high strength, stiffness, wear resistance, and thermal stability are required. However, their brittle nature and complex failure mechanisms make experimental characterization difficult and expensive. Therefore, […]
Deformation behavior of super-austenitic stainless steel sandwich panels subjected to air blast and underwater explosion
Super-austenitic stainless steels (SASS), characterized by their high Cr–Ni–Mo alloying content, have attracted increasing attention for structural applications that demand exceptional corrosion resistance, high ductility, and robust energy-absorption capacity. When these advanced alloys are incorporated into sandwich panel configurations—typically consisting of two face sheets and a lightweight core—they offer a promising solution for protective structures […]
