Can anyone please help with the Piezoelectric actuator modelling in ABAQUS?

1) I am going to measure the mechanical displacements caused by the electrical load (constant electrical voltage) in a cantilever laminate with incorporated piezoelectric actuator patches polarized through thickness (Z direction). I considered the laminate is thin, taking into account the plane stress rather than the plane strain. I assigned shell section to both laminate and piezoelectric patches in ABAQUS section assignment. Considering through-thickness polarizat ....etc

Evaluation of Active Damping for Reduction of Noise, Vibration and
Motion of Ground Vehicles
The off-road vehicles are subject to large vibrations which can have severe affects on drivers, crew and load.Most ground vehicles are equipped with passive spring and damping devices which have reached a high
level of sophistication.active damping, has reached production stage for luxury vehicles, trucks and trains.

Studies by Karnopp for automotive applications suggest that the efficiency of semi-active dampers is only marginally low ....etc

MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID DAMPER
1.INTRODUCTION
Vibration isolators or dampers are commonly used to mitigate vibrations in structures or machines. The isolators are typically passive and they are designed to reduce the vibration of the most undesired frequency. However, in many applications, the excitation frequency varies across a large range. In a semi-active device, the stiffness or damping can be adjusted during operation. Changing the stiffness of the support device can be exploited by moving the eigenfrequency of t ....etc

In any analysis of innovation, 802.11 is truly a prime number. This evolving standard, better known as Wi-Fi, is the it protocol that s won the same spectacular hype as (whisper it softly) the Internet itself. Oh, the good old days. I miss them.

But while Wi-Fi undeniably inspires that intoxicating blend of expectation and excitement that leads to entrepreneurial excess, it s also the kind of technological platform that invites the best ideas. Wi-Fi s combination of well-crafted technical standard and regulation-free deployment offers a ....etc

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a developing composite material that will allow the concrete industry to optimize material use, generate economic benefits, and build structures that are strong, durable, and sensitive to environment. A comparison of the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of RPC and HPC (High Performance Concrete) shows that RPC possesses better strength (both compressive and flexural) and lower permeability compared to HPC. This page reviews the available literature on RPC, and also presents the results of laborat ....etc

Material flow in friction stir welding (FSW) under different process parameters is simulated by using the finite element technique based on the nonlinear continuum mechanics. Results indicate that the distribution of the equivalent plastic strain correlates well with the distribution of the microstructure zones in the weld. It seems that there is a quasi-linear relation between the change of the axial load on the shoulder and the variation of the equivalent plastic strain. The material flow can be accelerated with the increase of the translatio ....etc

I am trying to model prestress in Hollow Concrete Slabs in Abaqus CAE in 3D. I have set up the model with rebars (truss elements) embedded in the concrete slab (Brick elements).

However there is no CAE usage for prestress which means that presumably, the prestress can only be introduced in the generated script (the journal file .jnl).

Although the manuals indicate how prestress can be introduced ( Initial Conditions' and Prestress Hold'), the problem is that I have no experience with scripting or using python programming.

Would using ....etc

Abstract

In paper the fundamental question about optimal interaction between the controlling stimuli generated by the active (powered) and the passive (unpowered) drives of the robotic systems have been studied. A mathematical statement of the problem has been proposed that is suitable to study this question for the semi-passively actuated n-degree-of-freedom robotic systems. The problem is formulated as an optimal control problem for n-degree-of-freedom mechanical system models a semi-passively actuated robot. We take into account the inter ....etc
