Modeling and Nonlinear Analysis of "Friction-Transfer" Test

There is a wide range of non-elastic behavioral properties of materials for use in various issues in Abacus. This software describes the non-elastic behavioral properties of concrete completely separately. In this paper, nonlinear analysis of friction transfer test using ABAQUS software has been performed. To determine the relationship between the results of the "friction-transfer" test and the compressive and tensile strength of the repair mortars, a 25mm high partial core is first created in the repair mortar using a core machine. Then, the "friction-transfer" device is fixed on it and a torsional moment is inserted into it by the torque meter, thereby bringing about partial core failure. Results shown that in the "friction-transfer" test, the maximum moment tolerated by the model is 108 Nm. The first cracks appear in the specimen at a moment of 46 Nm at the edges of the specimen and from the corners under the highest moment.
