What system or material can I use to properly embed an end of a cantilever beam?

I am studying vibrations in a cantilevered beam. I need this beam to be totally embeded but the results I am getting are not logical. I think this is because the system where it is embeded doesnt...

How can I put an initial amplitude to a beam in Abaqus explicit?

I would like to indicate the initial position of the end of my beam so I can let go afterwards and see it's time response. Since I only have the amplitud it must have at t=0, I cant use a tabular...

I would so yes, and in terms of plastic behavior of the aluminium beam I'm not 100% sure how to do this.

Shalin P Marathe

While defining the material properties you can define the rate dependent data in abaqus where you can define the plastic behavior of the material whether material follows power law or kinematic hardening etc.

Ajay Kumar

yes it is necessary to specify the plastic material behavior properties as well as you have to do the non-linear analysis.
