Electrically operated high temperature furnaces and reactors are used in many industrial manufacturing processes such as sintering or single crystal growth in order to allow for the required process conditions. In view of their outstanding characteristics refractory metals are ideally suited as materials for the resistive heating elements. Nevertheless, significant and lifetime-limiting irreversible deformations of these elements can be frequently observed which are assumed to be caused by a combination of temperature expansion, electromagnetic forces, and high temperature creep effects. In order to study this undesired behavior, a multi-physics model of a particular three-phase AC heating element of a sintering furnace is formulated and implemented within Abaqus.

The use of composite materials in the aerospace industry is increasing. Composite materials offer a relatively high strength-to-weight ratio as well as the ability to create large, integrated structures. One composite component can replace 10 or more traditional metal parts, which can dramatically reduce manufacturing time and cost.

The use of Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Explicit to develop a process for predicting landing gear performance is outlined in this Technology Brief. By combining the automation and customization capabilities of Abaqus/CAE, the robustness of Abaqus/Explicit, and Unified Finite Element Analysis (UFEA) concepts, we show how the Abaqus product suite can be used to efficiently analyze mechanical systems.

Composite materials offer significant design advantages in the aerospace industry. High strength and light weight are the two most attractive features for aircraft and space vehicle designs. However, their complex material behavior makes analysis of these structures a significant challenge, particularly in a high speed impact event. The advanced composite modeling and industry leading simulation capabilities of Abaqus/Explicit make analysis of these challenging materials straightforward and allow accurate prediction of ballistic limit, damage and failure. This technology brief describes an analysis of the dynamic impact of a steel projectile onto a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced plate and the specific advantages of Abaqus/ Explicit for this type of simulation.
