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 to calculate damping factors for different vibration modes?

I am currently studying the behaviour of a cantilever beam and I need to obtain the damping factor of each mode of the beam. Does anybody know how to do this? I have the time-response of my beam...

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...

What is the difference between ELASE and ALLAE?

When studying the energy output in my model I find ELASE which is the total artificial strain energy in the element, and ALLAE, which is the articial strain energy too, what difference is there...

How can I analyse using Abaqus the energy dissipated in the crack of a beam?

I am studying the energy balance in a recessed beam which contains a crack. I need to calculate the energy dissipated in that crack, which outputs can I use? I have used a set containing the...

In abaqus, in order to analyse the plastic dissipation at the end of a crack, do I need to specify the plastic behaviour of my material?

I'm studying the effects of plastic dissipation in cracks growth, but when I plot ALLPD in the visualization module it's constant at 0. I guess it's because I didn't specify any values in plastic...
