In my recent work, I’ve explored two distinct approaches for multiscale modeling of an Intelligent Composite Microfiber Composite (MFC) that used piezoelectric principles. Here, a PZT sensor is mounted onto a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) specimen, bonded by an adhesive layer to create an integrated, responsive composite system. I’ve investigated both serial and concurrent multiscale modeling techniques to understand the unique properties across different scales.
Serial Multiscale Modeling Approach
The serial method is relatively straightforward. Each scale—from macro to micro—is analyzed independently, with data transferred between scales through homogenization or Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. This process allows the microstructural properties to inform the macro-level response without direct real-time linkage, simplifying data management but potentially limiting fidelity in capturing simultaneous interactions.
Concurrent Multiscale Modeling Approach
Conversely, concurrent multiscale modeling presents a complex but comprehensive alternative. In this technique, data between scales—such as stress tensors—must be transferred in real-time to reflect simultaneous interactions. Based on existing literature, some methods rely on Cauchy stress tensors and other sophisticated techniques, which add complexity. For this project, I’ve implemented concurrent modeling in ABAQUS through the Submodeling technique:
- At the macroscale, the overall MFC structure is modeled, capturing global behavior.
- Moving to the mesoscale, I analyzed CFRP and PZT components, with CFRP as a woven structure and PZT as a cubic material.
- Microscale modeling then focuses on the unit cells of both CFRP and PZT.
Each level is linked using time-dependent boundary conditions via submodeling, with stress tensors exchanged simultaneously between scales.

Doi# https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2016.04.153
What this model can do?
- Prediction of Flow Stress: The strain-compensated Arrhenius model allows for precise prediction of flow stress during hot deformation by considering the effects of strain, strain rate, and temperature simultaneously. This flow stress predictions allow manufacturers can adjust to adjust process parameter for the control of deformation processes such as forging, rolling, and extrusion.

- Numerical modelling: By incorporating the model into the ABAQUS VUHARD subroutine, it enables high-fidelity FEM simulations of complex deformation processes. This includes predicting temperature fields, stress distributions, and plastic strain, which are essential for optimizing industrial forming processes.
This strain-compensated Arrhenius model, implemented via the VUHARD subroutine in ABAQUS and validated through Gleeble simulations, represents a powerful tool for advancing the understanding and application of metal and alloy deformation processes.

Hy This is Arsalan and I am back with my new project related to 3D printing in the field of biomedical engineering. Today, I will show you the details of bone scaffolds and their 3D printing, with a special focus on a magnesium-based scaffold. We’ll explore the crucial role bone scaffolds play in regenerative medicine and how 3D printing technology is revolutionizing the field. Bone scaffolds act as a support structure for bone regeneration, providing a framework for new tissue growth. 3D printing technology allows for the creation of highly customized scaffolds, tailored to the unique anatomy of each patient. This personalized approach enhances the effectiveness of the scaffold in promoting bone healing.”
Now, let’s take a closer look at the modeling process. Our journey begins with 3D modeling using Abaqus, a powerful finite element analysis software. The STL file of our magnesium bone scaffold was generated using Workbench, ensuring precision in the representation of the scaffold’s geometry. Next in line was the generation of G-codes, the instructions that guide the 3D printer in creating the physical scaffold. ReplicatorG software was employed for this task. The G-codes, which serve as the machine language for 3D printing, were then further refined using a Python script, leveraging the capabilities of the AM (Additive Manufacturing) plugin module in Abaqus. With the groundwork laid, we proceeded to simulate the 3D printing process using Abaqus. Our focus was on LDED (Layer Deposition and Extrusion Deposition) 3D printing technology, ensuring accurate representation of each layer of the scaffold. This simulation provides insights into the structural integrity, thermal aspects, and overall behavior during the printing process.”

The subroutine code used here (with minor modification) is available openly for download at www.soilmodel.com. If you use this subroutine and this work than Please cite the following work of Dr. David Masin :
Article #1 “”A hypoplastic constitutive model for clays”” Doi# https://doi.org/10.1002/nag.416
Article #2 “”Cyclic lateral response and failure mechanisms of semi-rigid pile in soft clay: centrifuge tests and numerical modelling””Doi# https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2016-0356
Hypoplasticity is a different way to describe how certain materials, especially geomaterials like soils, behave under stress and strain. Unlike traditional Elasto-plastic models, which use concepts like yield surfaces, flow rules, and consistency conditions to describe deformation, Hypoplasticity takes a different approach. The key concept in Hypoplasticity is the idea of asymptotic states, which refers to the stable, final conditions that the material reaches under certain stress and strain conditions. By focusing on this, Hypoplasticity aims to provide a more accurate and comprehensive way of describing how geomaterials deform, without relying on the traditional Elasto-plastic framework.
In this study, the driving of a helical pile in clay soil in undrained condition is modeled using the CEL approach in ABAQUS. The initial condition in the form of void ratio/OCR and intergranular strain is initiated using the VSDVINI subroutine. This subroutine is available in Abaqus 2022 and the latest version. In the second stage of the study, the pile installation is modeled using the UMAT subroutine under cyclic loading.
In the model, you will be able to understand:
Installation of the pile in Hypoplastic clay soil under single and variable void ratio (multilayer condition) using UMAT and SDVINI.
Calculating pore water pressure and effective stress (UMAT and VUMAT).
Calculating the effective stress under axial and cyclic loading (UMAT and VUMAT).”

Magnesium (Mg) scaffolds are biodegradable structures used in bone repair and regeneration. They mimic bone’s mechanical properties, gradually dissolve in the body, and promote bone growth through their porous design and the release of biologically beneficial magnesium ions.
A finite element-based simulation approach was used to model the corrosion and mechanical characteristics of biodegradable magnesium (Mg) scaffolds featuring diverse shapes such as Gyroid, TPMS, and BCC lattice structures. Corrosion behavior was simulated using a diffusion-driven model based on Fick’s law, capturing fluid diffusion within the scaffold to model pitting corrosion based on the corrosion rate and localization degree. To address the surface-based nature of corrosion, a Weibull distribution function was employed to apply flux at the outer nodes. A Python code was developed to create node sets on the scaffold’s outer surface and allocate flux through the Weibull distribution at each node. Each node in the scaffold initially received a concentration correlating with the magnesium’s starting concentration. Elements with Mg concentrations falling below a defined threshold (indicative of Mg(OH)2 formation) post-corrosion simulation were removed for subsequent mechanical simulations. In these simulations, Mg was considered as an isotropic, elastic-perfectly plastic material, introducing fracture via a ductile failure model. Consequently, this simulation approach effectively evaluates the influence of corrosion on the mechanical behavior of biodegradable scaffolds—a crucial aspect in designing such scaffolds for biomedical applications. This approach draws inspiration from the research article by Mohammad Marvi-Mashhadi and Wahaaj Ali, etal. titled ‘Simulation of corrosion and mechanical degradation of additively manufactured Mg scaffolds in simulated body fluid’.
This model will cover Following topics:
- How to model the corrosion in Bone scaffold as a function of fluid diffusion.
- How to modelling pitting corrosion based on varying corrosion rate
- Comparison of mechanical response of Degraded and normal scaffold specimen.
- Modelling degradation as a function of fluid diffusion time
- Python scripting to model the isotropic diffusion is simulated body fluid environment.

Analyzing damage in multilayer CFRP-GFRP woven composite using Abaqus
For CAE files and tutorial, Please write me an email or reach out to me via WhatsApp
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) are composites that are used in a variety of applications. These composites are made by combining a polymer matrix (typically a resin) with fibers (carbon or glass) to create a material with improved properties compared to the individual components. CFRP composites are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications where weight savings are important, such as in aerospace and automotive industries. The carbon fibers used in CFRP composites also provide excellent stiffness and resistance to fatigue and creep, making them ideal for structural applications. GFRP composites, on the other hand, are more widely available and less expensive than CFRP composites. GFRP composites are known for their high resistance to corrosion and are often used in applications where durability and long-term performance are important, such as in construction, civil engineering, and water treatment.
Woven composites refer to composites where the fibers are woven into a fabric-like structure. This type of composite provides improved mechanical performance compared to non-woven composites, as the fibers are able to interact with each other in a more organized and controlled manner. Woven CFRP and GFRP composites are often used in high-performance applications where the combination of high strength and stiffness is important.

Modelling High cycle Fatigue and assessing failure probability for reinfoced concrete bridges using site specific fatigue load model
This model analyzes the fatigue failure of low strength reinforced concrete bridges using a site-specific fatigue model. Since AASHTO truck does not reflect the extent of damage caused by actual traffic load traversing a bridge, a new fatigue load model has been proposed on the concept of equivalent damage using Miner hypothesis. Thus incorporating an axle width and the distance between the tyres, a single axle load of 210 KN was considered in the model. The outcomes of this model are vital in term of in identifying the severity of Fatigue Damage
Abaqus Modelling
A low strength concrete mode with maximum compression strength of 16 MPa is used in material modelling. Moving load was applied using a user subroutine VDLOAD. This subroutine enabled us to define the magnitude of wheel load as a function of position, time and velocity. From the stress profile at the most critical node at the mid span section of the bridge, It was analyzed that the stress generated due to self-weigh is 147 MPa and this stress start increasing gradually as the fatigue load travel toward mid span of the bridge. This peak value of the stress which is below the yielding limit of the steel is used further in FE-SAFE for calculating the Fatigue failure life cycle.
Fe-SAFE
After importing the results in fatigue, S-N curve of the material is specified and Un-axial stress life approach is used as a fatigue evaluating criteria. Profile of the passing truck is specified in the amplitude section which estimates the fatigue failure cycle equal to 4.09 million trucks. In the next section the performance of structure is assessed by monitoring its failure probability under different load variance percentage. This is performed by defining Weibull distribution to the material strength (S-N Curve). From the results as in Figures it was analyzed that at early stages of fatigue life, the reliability of the bridge with high load variation is low.
Modeling & predicting fatigue life for silicone(H-elastic) PIP finger implant using Abaqus & Fe-safe
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint replacements have been performed for many decades with silicone implants with substantial acceptable to good outcomes. The PIP joint links the first and second phalanges of the finger. The aim of the study is to to improve the functional range of finger motion among individuals with posttraumatic degenerative changes in PIP joints.

As these type of implant are mainly designed for flexion case, the range of flexion motion is then analyzed furthering Fe –safe for predicting fatigue strength. The Ogden hyperelastic material model based on three coefficients is used both is Abaqus and Fe-safe. Results shows that fatigue life is directly affected by range of motion with Fatigue life ranging from few thousand cycles for high degree of flexion to millions for small degree of flexion mainly 10 and 20 degree.
Predicting worst cycle repeats/hours for hyperplastic brake pads used in conventional band brakes.
Band brakes operated by pressing a thin layer of brake pads against a rotating drum. This results in generating a frictional force that results in deacceleration of drum. The frictional force generate heat that adversely effect the performance of the braking pads which results in wearing of the pads. Thus fatigue performance of braking pads is effect by combined response of temperature and mechanical pressing. Hyperplastic material model based on reduced polynomial is used to model the braking pads. While the results from Abaqus is exported to Fe-safe and worst life cycle is approximated using Rainflow cycle counting algorithm. Results shows that with a by applying extreme mechanical displacement force that worst cycle is 578 hours.

The study aims to assess the integrity of buried oil and gas pipelines crossing railroad impacted by moving train. A user subroutine VDLOAD is used to model the wheel load on the multilayered soil structure while railway sleepers were modelled using a high strength concrete. For analysis purpose ABAQUS is used to model the dynamic behavior of the moving train load while Fe-safe which is produce of Dassault system is used to predict the high cycle fatigue by estimating the failure cycles as well reliability of the pipeline structure under different load variance. Different diameters pipelines were arranged at different depth in the soil structure lying perpendicular and parallel to direction of moving load. Results shows that pipeline lying parallel to the direction of the moving load experience more impact and hence fatigue failure at the circumference of the pipeline in expected more severely.

Conventional Mohr Coulomb model is non-trivial to implement in the finite-element method due to the fact that the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion and the corresponding plastic potential possess corner sand an apex, which causes numerical difficulties. Mohr coulomb is limit function plot as a non-uniform hexagonal cone in a plane stress strain. The Mohr coulomb yield function has a corner which may cause difficulties while may cause difficult in the modelling complex finite element analysis scenario.

Concrete crack detection using piezoelectric sensors based on time reversal method
Time reversal approach has been widely utilized as an efficient damage detection tool. Structural damage, such as crack and delamination, generates nonlinearities that break down the signal reconstruction characteristic of time reversal method. As a result, the difference between the original input signal and the reconstructed signal shows damage. According to the time reversal approach, an input wave signal may be rebuilt at any excitation point by reversing the output signal recorded at another point of the structure in the time domain and retransmitting it back to the excitation point.
