Johnson-Cook Plugin for Abaqus
By Johnson-Cook Plugin for Abaqus, standard handbook data is used to determine Johnson-Cook hardening parameters. Just enter the relevant values of Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, yield stress, offset strain, ultimate stress, and strain at the failure to calculate Johnson-Cook constants of A, B, and n.
If you press the “Yes” button, the plug-in runs a one-element model using this Johnson-Cook material and plots the stress-strain response.
Johnson-Cook Material Model
The Johnson-Cook material model is widely used in finite element analysis to simulate the behavior of materials under high strain rates, such as those experienced in impact and crash events.
The Johnson-Cook model describes the flow stress behavior of materials as a function of strain, strain rate, and temperature. It is commonly used for simulating the behavior of metals at high strain rates and temperatures. The model is expressed through the following equation:
To implement the Johnson-Cook model in Abaqus, you will need to define the material properties using the parameters \( A, B, n, C, m \). These parameters can be obtained through material testing or from literature sources or using calibration plugins like this. Once the material properties are known, you can use the built-in material model in Abaqus/CAE or create a user-defined material subroutine (UMAT) in Abaqus to incorporate the Johnson-Cook model into your finite element simulation.
