Plane strain compression test using Abaqus software and metal forming book

Project Overview

This tutorial focuses on the plane strain compression test using the Abaqus software and the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book.

In this training, the pressure applied to the plate is first obtained using the Abaqus software. The same pressure is then calculated using the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book. Finally, the results obtained from both methods are compared.

Problem Description

In this example, the plane strain compression test is simulated in the Abaqus software. The main objective is to determine the pressure applied to the plate during the compression process.

The pressure obtained from the Abaqus simulation is then compared with the pressure calculated using the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book.

Abaqus Simulation

First, the plane strain compression test is modeled in the Abaqus software. The compression process is simulated, and the pressure applied to the plate is obtained from the Abaqus results.

Analytical Solution

The pressure applied to the plate is then calculated using the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book.

This analytical result is used as a reference to evaluate the accuracy of the Abaqus simulation.

Comparison of Results

Finally, the pressure obtained from the Abaqus software is compared with the pressure obtained from the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book.

In the comparison diagram, the result obtained from the Abaqus software is shown in blue, while the result obtained from the Analytical Solution based on the Metal Forming book is shown in red.

As observed, the results obtained from the Abaqus software have good conformity with those obtained from the Analytical Solution.
