In this tutorial, the Simulation dynamic four point bending test of a Gravity beam in Abaqus has been investigated. Gravity Beams, a term coined in this investigation, are those beams in which gravity is used to design the topology of beam form conjointly with the novel manufacturing strategy Fabric Formwork. The gravity beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below
A term ‘Gravity Beams’ coined in this investigation, refers to the beam forms inspired from and designed by gravity.Concrete, due to its quasi-brittle material properties exhibits com-plex structural response, which is difficult to predict accurately through finite element analysis. However, recent approaches, employing con-crete damaged plasticity models, have shown promising results. Various models have been established using this approach however the most relevant considering the type of application and the concrete strength, were adopted for this investigation namely. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity is a good material model to represent the tensile and compressive damage during the bending test. The static and dynamic step both can be use as a solver for this type of modeling. The surface to surface contact with contact property is considered between the beam and top rigid bodeis. TheIdeal contact use for the two bottom rigid bodeis with beam also. The proper boundary conditions and mesh are assigned to all parts.
After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, tensilt damage, comression damage, force-displacement diagram, and … are available. You can see some figure for the results below
