How to add another Elasto Visco-plasticity model other than ANAND Model

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

i am doing welding simulation and want to apply chaboche visco-plasticity model. I have equations of chaboche model. But when i am trying to apply visco-plasticity there is no option for user defined model so that i can add my model manually. there is only ANAND model available. Can anyone help me plz.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

There are two ways in which you can do this:

a) Program the material model yourself and use the External strain / External material functionality (requires version 5.2).

or

b) Use a 'User defined' model under Creep, and add extra distributed ODE's for time-marching the evolution of the back stress in the Chaboche model.

Henrik

thanks Henrik for your reply

don't have 5.2 so can't go with ur 1st suggestion.
bt i tried to write equations in ODE's and under creep in user defined model its asking only creep rate tensor!!! i don't understand how to relate that equations in that...can u plz tell
n also if u hav any ready-made simple model file where this problem has been encountered, plz send that wd be very helpfull.

thanks,
manish
