Hi All,

 

If I have stress results like in the picture on attachment, are my material get fail/break? or only crack?

 

Thank you,

 

Best regards,

    Hi,

    Depends on type of material whether it is ductile or britle.

    Hi Prakash,

     

    My material is Aluminium with material properties :

    Ultimate Tensile Strength : 296 MPa

    Yield Strength : 145 MPa

    Poisson ratio : 0.33

    Density : 2.66 gr/cc

    The stress is near the ultimate tensile strength. Maybe you should carry a material non linear analysis.

    Dear Prakash,

     

    Thank you for your response,

     

    First, I would like to inform that I use optistruct solver to do the simulation, with MAT1 material card.

     

    Actually, I only want to know about static stress on it, but the problem is when I set the value of stress legend, the red color show and I don't know the interpretation of that color.

     

    So, I ask this to this forum.

    You are always welcome to ask questions on forum :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>

     

    FYI, I am attaching a tutorial on Non linear static analysis using MATS1

    Hi @Iron_Man59,

     

    1. What you are seeing is stress-strain curve which is a material property. You can get details of stress-strain curve for material from respective supplier or you can search for the on any material data base.

     

    2. PFA, PDF- NLPARM parameters.

    Hi @Prakash Pagadala,

    Thank you for your guidance,

    From stress-strain curve there are a lot of value that can be used to fulfill the X & Y, I mean in which position of stress-strain curve should be used? (see the attachment)

    Thank you & regards,

    It again depends. If you are designing something to failure, use last point.

     

    If you are designing till Yield point, then you need to use yield point value.
