What does that mean in keywords model 2: "Imperfection, file=job-1, step=1 1,28.0" - what is it "28.0" ?

[@ivancudina93]

It is the magnitude of the imperfection. Since I modeled in millimeters, it means the initial imperfection is 28 millimeters. File=job-1 and step=1 means we are taking imperfection shape from the Job-1 file after loading step 1. Regards!

Would it be big difference if you have used true stress strain curve instead of bilinear?

It is difficult to say with fem analyses. However, since I conducted parametric analysis later on it would be too much time consuming to make model with true stress strain curve so I did not try. Also, my results were fairly good with bilinear stress strain curve.

[@chunyithomasmiu840]

Thank you for the video Ivan. Its really helpful. Just want to ask, what means by the first eigenvalue? Is it directly refers to minimum loading which causes a single curvature lateral torsional buckling to the channel section?

[@ivancudina93]

First eigenvalue is the minimum load (or if you wanna be accurate, the smallest number that multiplies load applied to the beam), that would be required to cause buckling of a beam if the behaviour of the beam was ideally elastic. Which means that strength-strain curve of the steel would have to be completely linear and there would not be initial bow of the beam nor any residual stresses. That is only possible in theory that is why eigenvalues have purely theoretical meaning. Similarly, second eigenvalue is the minimum load required to cause the buckling of a beam in the shape of the second eigenmode. Since the first eigenvalue is always lower than the second, beam always buckles in the shape of the first eigenmode. Second eigenmode also have purely theoretical meaning.

[@chunyithomasmiu840]

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

[@stanleyiwuoha6991]

Thanks for the very useful video. I am modeling a composite joist and have successfully carried out the eigenvalue buckling analysis, however, trying to do the non-linear analysis using the Riks method, I kept getting this error message " A zero displacement solution was found in the first iteration of the Rik's step. The Analysis cannot proceed. the most likely cause is that all displacement degrees of freedom are constrained to be zero" Please, how can I solve this problem.

[@ivancudina93]

I can't say exactly without additional info. Try playing with the boundary conditions and loading to see if it will help. If not, send me the model, and if I find some time, I'll try to find the error.

[@Kwongtung]

Thanks for this useful video! I found that force control is used in your video. Will it be any different to use displacement instead? The reason that I am asking is that I found that the result obtained by force control and displacement control is different for LTB analysis in my study. Many Thanks! Delon

[@ivancudina93]

It is possible. Finite element modeling is a very complex procedure and engineers often encounter illogical results. That is why numerical modeling without experimental background has very little meaning. I personly never investigated such phenomena but I would be interested in your research if you would publish it.

Dear Ivan: I have few problems that in the first step of Buckle in Linear perturbation, I use displacement control to fit my experiment conditions. I set for 6 eigenvalues and I can get the results. And then for the static, riks step, I change the displacement control above to load and apply the first eigenvalue. I want to make a stress-strain curve so I set the history output for RF3 and U3. I don't really understand how to get RF3 and U3 correctly. If I follow your step to multiply LPF and the first eigenvalue, the RF3 seems to be reasonable because it fits to my experiment results. But if I take the results from history output, the RF3 seems to be weird.

This was a great tutorial. I have a question though. If we have to do a buckling simulation of a plate with multiple kinds of loading like Shear and Compressive, Doing the initial buckling analysis how do we find the eigenvalue for this case. How does the Eigenvalue apply to both the loads?

[@tsangyuenha]

Your video is just excellent! i learn a lot from that!! But i have a question which is the final LPF vs arc length graph, what is the physical meaning of the peak value obtained from there? Is it the maximum buckling strength of the beam? If yes, how the beam is failed as I dont see any buckling in the figure, and why the LPF is decreasing. Thank you!

[@ivancudina93]

Yes, LPF multiplied by the applied force respresents the ultimate buckling resistance of the beam. If you are asking why the displacement does not occur more suddenly, that is because channel sections as uniaxially symmetrical cross sections (unlike biaxially symmetrical I or H sections) behave differently. Not all elements buckle suddenly under load. For example, plates tend to show postbuckling resistance. Which means that after they buckle, you can continue to apply force of even greater value before they completely fail. Cheers

[@tsangyuenha]

Thanks Ivan! So how do you know about completely fail from observing the curve or graph?

[@ivancudina93]

The failure usually happens after peak value in LPF curve. There are few exceptions, but not in our case

[@hddevani]

Super Helpful Video Ivan, Thank you Very much... can you also make a video on imperfection, and why did you put 28 for 1st mode...? what is the theory behind it? Again Thank you...

[@ivancudina93]

Realistically, the size of geometrical imperfection is equal to L/1000. So, we can include that kind of geometrical imperfection into our model, but then we need to include residual stresses as well. However it is possible to model equivalent geometrical imperfection (larger then the realistic one) which will also include residual stresses. That is a simplified version of modeling nonlinear behaviour of the beam which I used in the tutorial. According to European codes (Eurocode), the size of the equivalent geometrical imperfection should be L/100 for channel sections. In our case, that is 28 mm because the length of the beam is 2800 mm. So we needed to multiply geometrical imperfection by 28 to get 28 mm.

[@hddevani]

Ivan Cudina Thank you Ivan for replying....I got the point about imperfections... What if we don't add imperfections in our model ?? Another Thing I have want to ask is , how did you decide inputs for Rik's method, that is estimated arc length, maximum increment size etc...

[@ivancudina93]

If you do not add imperfections in your model, then you would get much higher value of buckling resistance. But eventually, the beam would buckle even if there are no imperfections included. You can simply try that but assigning the value of imperfection equal to zero. And now the second part of your question. I just took some recommended values for arc length and increment etc. They worked fine so I did not go very deeply into that matter. If you want to understand that topic better, you should do some research on arc length method. Cheers

For the Nonlinear Analysis, Can I use a different load, for example the self-weight or Should I always use the eigenvalue from the linear Analysis?

But If I applied the self-weight It gives me a result but I don't know if this result is accurate. is it?

[@ivancudina93]

I don't know. That is strange. It should converge in both cases. As long as the load case is the same, the results should also be the same. The only thing that is changing in regards to load value is the LPF. If you assign for example 10 kN and get LPF = 0.8, then for the same load, but with the value of 1 kN, you should get LPF=8.0. So probably you have completely different load cases. But I can't say is it correct or not because you did not give me enough data.

instead of deleting the old step, you might try "Replace" instead of "Delete".

why r we multiplying the eigen mode with 28

Realistically, the size of geometrical imperfection is equal to L/1000. So, we can include that kind of geometrical imperfection into our model, but then we need to include residual stresses as well. However it is possible to model equivalent geometrical imperfection (larger then the realistic one) which will also include residual stresses. That is a simplified version of modeling nonlinear behaviour of the beam which I used in the tutorial. According to European codes (Eurocode), the size of the equivalent geometrical imperfection should be L/100 for channel sections. In our case, that is 28 mm because the length of the beam is 2800 mm. So we needed to multiply geometrical imperfection by 28 to get 28 mm.

hi ivan i'm really inspired with your tutorial, actually im just start trying to do my undergraduate tesis about inelastic buckling of tapered plate with circular opening .. and i got some trouble with modeling, i have two option about doing it with abaqus or with ansys workbench, i just started learning ansys about 2 weeks and, but its kind a hard for me to the nonlinear buckling with ansys workbench (i dont know how to input the initial imperfection etc) so i looked the abaqus tutorial of yours. well, do you have some personal contact? email maybe

[@ivancudina93]

Hello Raja I'm really happy that you find my tutorial helpful It's really impressive that you use abaqus on undergraduate level I need more info to solve your problem, so send it on my mail This is my email: [e-mail] In the meantime, check this tutorial for workbench. It will show you very well how to include initial imperfection kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3PQn4eboZmgqcU But honestly, I prefer Abaqus ;)
