Hi all,<\/p>\n
I tried to simulate anisotropic creep behavior using Hill Yield Criterion + Generalized Garofalo. I was able to do the simulation under mechanical (displacement) loading, and the result matched the analytical solution. <\/p>\n
However, when I changed the loading condition to thermal loading only<\/strong> (also applied anisotropic CTE to the model), the model showed error messages: I tried with smaller time steps but it did not solve the problem. Later, I set the temperature in each time step to be 20°C which is identical to the initial temperature. The error messages remained the same.<\/p>\n Does anyone have a similar experience and knows how to solve it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-305346","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-anisotropic","topic-tag-creep","topic-tag-error","topic-tag-hill-1","topic-tag-Staticstructure-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
