    Metal Inelasticity in Abaqus

    Properly modeling the inelastic behavior of materials is very important when evaluating the performance of a design in critical loading situations. This course provides a brief overview of the inelastic behavior observed in metals and the basic concepts of plasticity theory. The course shows Abaqus users how to model various forms of metal plasticity using a combination of examples and workshops to demonstrate the material models and the type of experimental data necessary to calibrate them. The assumptions and limitations of the various plasticity and creep models are also discussed.
