Elastic–Plastic Material Modeling in Abaqus | Indentation Test Tutorial

Welcome to another Finite Element Analysis tutorial!
In this video, I’ll show you how to model an elastic–plastic material in Abaqus and simulate a rigid-sphere indentation test on a copper substrate.

🔹 Part 1 – Theory:
A short overview of plasticity concepts — yield stress, hardening, and stress–strain behavior.

🔹 Part 2 – Practical Demo in Abaqus CAE:
We build the full simulation step-by-step:
Define copper material with elastic-plastic properties
Assign rigid indenter
Apply boundary conditions and contact interaction
Run indentation simulation.

This tutorial is perfect for students, researchers, and engineers learning how to simulate nonlinear plastic deformation in Abaqus.

📚 Topics covered:
Elastic-plastic material modeling, indentation mechanics, yield criterion, contact setup, Abaqus CAE workflow, result interpretation.
