This paper details the development of an isotropic elastic-damage constitutive model for polymeric foam based on irreversible thermodynamics to consider the growth and coalescence of voids. The constitutive equations describe the material behavior sustaining unilateral damage. To facilitate finite element analysis, the material properties for specific types of polymeric foams are applied to the developed model; the model is then implemented in ABAQUS as a user-defined material subroutine. To validate the developed damage model, the simulated results are compared to the results of a series of tensile tests on various polymeric foams. The proposed damage model can be utilized to further research on continuum damage mechanics and finite element analysis of polymeric foams in computational engineering.

PET bottles are main]y manufactured by the stretch blow-molding process. In order to improve the thickness distribution to avoid crack generation at bottom region of one-piece PET bottle, process analysis of stretch blow-molding using a finite element method has been carried out. Finite element analysis has been carried out using ABAQUS/Standard. CREEP user subroutine provided in ABAQUS has been used to model PET behavior that is rate sensitive. Among the process parameters, the effect of plunger movement to thickness distribution of bottle has been considered by axisymmetric analysis. A modified process of plunger movement, which yields more uniform thickness distribution, has been proposed. 3D FE analysis has been done to confirm the validity of the proposed process.

This paper develops a relatively comprehensive and sophisticated constitutive model of concrete for finite element analysis of concrete structures. The present model accounts for the hydrostatic pressure sensitivity and Lode angle dependence behavior of concrete, not only in its strength criterion, but also in its hardening characteristics. The implementation is carried out through incorporating the developed concrete model in User Subroutine Material(UMAT) of the general-purpose FE program ABAQUS(v.5.8). It is found that the model can sufficiently predict the hardening as well as the softening behaviour of concrete under high confining pressure.

The thermomechanical behaviors of SMA thin film actuator and their application are investigated. The numerical algorithm of the 2-D SMA thermomechanical constitutive equation is developed and implemented into the ABAQUS finite element program by using the user defined material (UMAT) subroutine. To verify the numerical algorithm of SMAs, the results are compared with experimental data. For the application of SMA thin film actuator, the methodology to maintain the precise configuration of inflatable membrane structure is demonstrated.

Important factors in a casting mold are strength at the mold surface and gas permeability of the mold. This study investigates the effects of pre-pressure and sand particle hardness on gas permeability, with a constraint that the norm of a stiffness array at the mold surface should be higher than a certain value. The constitutive relation is obtained using a hypoplasticity model. This study is firstly attempted to investigate sand behavior in mold fabrication, and will give a theoretical base for fabricating better molds.

This work was focused on the material parameter extraction for the isothermal cyclic deformation analysis for which Chaboche(Combined Nonlinear Isotropic and Kinematic Hardening) and Overlay(Multi Linear Hardening) models are normally used. In this study all the parameters were driven especially based on Overlay theories. A simple method is suggested to find out best material parameters for the cyclic deformation analysis prior to the isothermal LCF(Low Cycle Fatigue) analysis. The parameter extraction was done using 400 series stainless steel data which were published in the reference papers. For simple and quick review of the parameters extracted by suggested method, 1D FORTRAN program was developed, and this program could reduce the time for checking the material data tremendously. For the application to FE code ABAQUS user subroutine for the material models was developed by means of UMAT(User Material Subroutine), and the stabilized hysteresis loops obtained by the numerical analysis were in good harmony with test results.

The milli-components for electronic and medical device etc. have been manufactured by conventional process. Forming and machining process for those milli-components need tremendous cost and time because products require higher dimensional accuracy than the conventional ones. For instance, conventional mechanical punching process has many drawbacks for applying to high accuracy products. The final radius of hole can be varied and burr which interrupting another procedure is generated. Hydro-mechanical punching process makes possible to reduce amount of burr and obtain the fine shearing surface using the operating fluid. Hydrostatic pressure retards occurrence of initial crack and induces to locate the fracture surface in the middle of sheet to thickness direction. In this paper, Hydro-mechanical punching process is analyzed using finite element method and the effect of hydrostatic pressure is evaluated during punching process. The prediction of fracture is performed adopting the various ductile fracture criteria such as Cockcroft, Brozzo and Oyane's criterion using a user subroutine in ABAQUS explicit.

An efficient aerodynamic thermal load element is developed to reflect the effect of coupled aero-thermo-elastic behaviors in the early design stage of hypersonic vehicle. To this aim, semi-analytic relationships depending on structural deformation are adopted for pressure and thermal load, and the element is formulated based on the relations. The proposed element is implemented in the form of ABAQUS user subroutine, and coupled finite element analysis is carried out to investigate the aero-thermo-elastic behaviors of control surface of hypersonic vehicle. Through the analysis, usefulness of the proposed aerodynamic thermal load element is identified.

We simulated large deformation and inelastic behavior of API-X80 steel linepipes using nonlinear finite element method. Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman(GTN) model is employed for the development of the constitutive model of the steel. The GTN model is implemented in the form of the user-supplied material subroutine(UMAT) for the commercial software of ABAQUS. To calibrate the model parameters, we simulated the behavior of the uniaxial tension test using ABAQUS equipped with the developed GTN model. Using the set of the model parameters, we were able to capture the characteristics of the plastic buckling of API-X80 steel linepipes.

In this paper, wrinkling behavior for anisotropic membrane was studied. The analyses were done by using membrane elements and the wrinkling was accounted for by the penalty parameter modified material modeling which was implemented to ABAQUS as a user subroutine. The wrinkle model was applied to corner-loaded square membranes in which the effect of the diameter of steel pin, edge cut-off length and the magnitude of shear moduli on the wrinkling was investigated.
