Applied soil mechanics by Sam Helvani with ABAQUS-Wiley applications (2007)
ABAQUS software is a powerful finite element software that can be learned and used easily through the Abaqus book. The Finite Element Method in the Abaqus book, the Finite Element Method (FEM) is a numerical method for the approximate solution of partial differential equations and the solution of integrals. The basis of this method is to completely eliminate differential equations or to simplify them to ordinary differential equations, which are solved by numerical methods such as Euler. In solving partial differential equations, the important issue is to get a simple equation that is numerically stable.
This means that the error in the initial data and during the solution should not be so much that it leads to incomprehensible results. There are methods with different advantages and disadvantages for this, of which the finite element method is one of the best. This method is very useful in solving partial differential equations on complex domains (such as vehicles and oil pipelines), or when the domain is variable, or when high accuracy is not required everywhere in the domain, or if the results do not have sufficient correlation and uniformity. It is useful.
In the Abaqus book, we learn that the Abaqus software is capable of simulating complex engineering problems in various fields of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc. Since conducting practical experiments is very expensive, the use of finite element simulation can be used as an alternative tool.
One point that should be noted is that the use of finite element software without familiarity with the finite element method can lead to incorrect simulations and misleading results. One of these complex issues is soil mechanics, which is specific to the civil engineering and soil group, and these days a reference book, Abacus, has been published for it, which solves all the needs of this group.
Below we will introduce this Abacus book and we have put its download link for you at the end of the article.
