Advanced Finite Element Simulation of Pullout Test on Asphalt-Geotextile-Asphalt Layer using Abaqus

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to simulate a pullout test on an asphalt-geotextile-asphalt layer and asphalt-geogrid-asphalt layer using Abaqus. By accurately modeling the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt and geotextile, this simulation can provide valuable insights into the behavior of these materials under stress. Follow this tutorial to learn how to input material properties, create the finite element model, and run the simulation. By the end, you'll have a better understanding of how to use Abaqus for simulating pullout tests and analyzing the performance of asphalt and geotextile materials in civil engineering applications.

Some key points to learn in this tutorial:

1. Create 3D solid and shell plates
2. Define viscoelastic materials
3. Arrange different instance of parts into layers
4. Define hard and frictional contact between layers
5. Apply pressure and displacement boundary conditions
6. Mesh 3D solid and shell parts.
7. Plot force vs displacement curve.
