numerical simulation of an aluminium-concrete beam in Abaqus

In this tutorial, An numerical simulation of an aluminum-concrete beam in Abaqus has been investigated. Contemporary designers should look for new solutions supporting sustainable construction. Aluminium-concrete composite structures have a lot of applications thanks to the corrosion-resistance and lightness of the aluminum beam. They may be used in composite bridges[4,5,6,7] and in structures that are difficult to access or are located in corrosive or humid environments. Multiple problems inherent in aluminum-concrete structures remain to be solved. Numerical calculations may be a good alternative to laboratory tests, but only if the numerical model is verified. The aluminum beam is modeled as a three-dimensional shell part. The bolt and concrete are modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. You can two figures of the assembled parts ate below

The aluminum material as an elastic-plastic material for the beam and steel material as an elastic-plastic data for the bolt are used. The concrete is modeled as a concrete damaged plasticity material model to observe the tensile and compression damage during the bending process. Two analysis has been selected for this simulation. In the first analysis the static stimulation and in the second analysis the explicit simulation. The contact among rigid bodies with beam and the concrete slab is assumed as the surface to surface contact with the property as a friction coefficient. The bolts are embedded inside the concrete host. The fixed boundary condition is assigned to the two bottom rigid bodies and displacement with a smooth amplitude to the top rigid body. The should be fine and proper for all parts to achieve a logical result

After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, tensile and compression damage for concrete, displacement, and ….can be achievable. You can see some figures for the results below
