Simulation of adhesives and adhesion in Abaqus

This webinar will cover simulation of adhesives and adhesion in Abaqus.  Adhesives have become a common joining method in industry but present particular challenges to the simulation engineer.  The webinar will give an overview of some common methods for predicting stress states, deformation and failure on adhesively bonded joints.

Agenda:

• Background to Adhesives
• Materials Testing
• Approaches to simulating adhesive joining
  • Analysis of Stress and Strain
  • Yield Criteria
  • Cohesive Zone Models (CZM)
