Investigation into the Utilization of Abaqus Software for the Analytical Modeling and Instruction of Core Strength of Materials Challenges

This study investigates the integration of ABAQUS simulation software into the instruction and analysis of Strength of Materials problems at Hung Vuong University. The primary aim is to enhance pedagogical approaches and facilitate student engagement with complex engineering concepts through dynamic and interactive simulations. ABAQUS empowers learners to visualize and attain a more profound comprehension of mechanical behaviors such as stress distribution, deformation, and displacement in structural elements. By leveraging virtual simulations, students can develop practical and technical competencies without the necessity of physical experimentation, thereby optimizing both time and resource efficiency. Moreover, the software contributes to the optimization of material design, provides a controlled and safe environment for experimentation, and cultivates critical problem-solving abilities. The application of ABAQUS enables students to thoroughly understand key factors influencing material strength and load-bearing performance, while simultaneously equipping them with the professional skills required in modern engineering practice. Overall, the incorporation of ABAQUS into the Strength of Materials curriculum not only elevates the quality of instruction but also bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
