I am not clear about two concepts: thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state. It's easy to conceive of the following different two osmosis processes regarding thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state, respecitvely.

Dear all,

I would like to receive an advice so as to partition in a properly way this hexagonal solid. I tryed to use partition cell extrude cell/sweep edge in the the curved  edge, but the solid it has not been partitioned.

thanks in advanced

In elementary mechanics textbooks, power lines are generally given as a typical example of a so-called “flexible cable”. However, in the design of these critical elements of a power grid  it is often necessary to take into account the conductor bending stiffness, or flexural rigidity. While relatively low compared with a bar having an equivalent solid cross-section, it does have some influence on a conductor response to wind excitation, in particular from the fatigue strength point of view.

Hi:

    I want to build a ellipsoidal model,how can i do  using abaqus?

How can post buckling analysis be carried out in ANSYS, when element Shell181 is used? what are the various methods and the procedure how to carry out the analysis ???

Dear all.

I'm currently doing some research concerning crack path prediction in brittle thin film.

But I'm struggled to find efficient way to do it.

In reality my case: stress is higly confined within semi infinite narrow rectangular strip patten and out of this rectangular, stress is very low or near 0 compared to stress within the pattern. Crack starts from left side end and propagates within pattern toward right end side of pattern. Crack show wavy propagation behavior with regular period and amplitude. 

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to model a 2D orthogonal cutting by Abaqus by using ALE method. I have some distortion of mesh in front of the cuuting noise so I try to define an eulerian surfaces around the cutting noise. 

One PhD student position available at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engnieering of the University of Central Florida. Students with background in solid mechanics, computational mechanics and finite element analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. To apply, please send your resume and representative publications (if have) to Dr. Yuanli Bai (bai@ucf.edu).  The opening is until Spring 2014.

Dear All,

I intend to investigate the stress field resulted by a single dislocation in the vicinity of grain boundary at a poly crystalline structure. Thereby, I have to somehow model this crystalline defect, but how? is it doable in the CAE or should invoke the related subroutines?

 Thank you in advance for your tips.

i need help with esssay topic is and the higher order shear deformation theory with stretching effect for functionally graded plates i want and help to thank you

Can somebody help me to find about the convergence rate of MLS shape function?

When designing a permanent magnet machine, one of the most fundamental and difficult goals is to reduce the cogging torque curve. The challenge in reducing the cogging torque is to also decrease the numerical noise generated by the mesh. Finite element analyses and the advanced meshing functionality that is available through Abaqus/CAE allows for a faster and more accurate prototype.

Can i say, the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity of the immersed part are same?

Hello All!!!

 I am Arun, Master degree student in South Korea.

 My research field is : High strain rate experiemnts

 I did High speed tensile test for aluminium alloy at four different speeds (1m/s, 5m/s, 10m/s and 15m/s)

 I also did high temp tensile test for aluminium alloy at room temperature, 100 C, 250C

 Now i have the stress Vs Strain curve for High speed tensile test and high temperature test

 But, i don't know how to determine Johnson-Cook model parameter from the experimental results

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform that the abstract submission deadline for the 23rd International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM23) has been extended until May 31, 2013. The conference will be held in Singapore during October 2-5, 2013. 

Dear all,

 Our paper titled "Cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion: A two-dimensional lattice model study"
 has just been published in Construction and Building Materials. It deals with numerical modelling of cracking of the concrete cover as a consequence of reinforcement corrosion, based on the Delft lattice model framework.

My name is hexu,a graduate, my major is solid mechanics,eapecially micromechanics,also study finite element method.

I am working on a dynamic post-buckling problem.

I wonder if it is possible to simulate dynamic post-buckling of a column with pinned-pinned boundary conditions with an time varying (sinusoidal) axial load in Abaqus.

Thanks.

Good day.

Best Regards,

Rajnish
