Topic 48 (sub-branch): Safety issues during transportation and distribution of oil and gas.

Pipeline is a safe and reliable mode of transportation and distribution of oil and gas. It is also an economical and dependable mode of transportation particularly to the sensitive and strategic areas where vessels cannot access easily. It provides a long term infrastructural option and solves difficulties in handling large volume of products by rail from one loading point to another and therefore reduces minimum transit loss.

MIT Postdoctoral Position in Finite Element Analysis for DNA nanotechnology

The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of publishing archival journal articles.

Modeling of the muscle-like actuation in soft dielectrics: deformation mode and electromechanical stability

Soft dielectric elastomer is able to generate an
electromechanical response in terms of reversible shape
changing, which is a muscle-like behavior. The deformation
and electromechanical stability of dielectric elastomers,
classified by their deformation modes, uniaxial extension,
equal biaxial expansion and pure shear, are investigated.
Pull-in instability occurs in equal biaxial and uniaxial modes
at a small stretch ratio, while the pure shear mode features
wrinkling instability after a large stable deformation. The

*MATRIX GENERATE - Global Stiffness matrix

Thank you  for your reply. I know but I was wondering if it is possible to omit them manually.

 One more question, I figured that using *MATRIX GENERATE, one could get the global stiffness, mass or load matrix in a ".mtx" file. But I am wondering why I can't get the file after the run.

plotting force- displacement

Dear friends

I want to plot force-displacement figure for simulation of axial impact in Abaqus;  after using reference points for defining the
displacement and force in tubes and plates , I encounter
two problems:

1)      1)Amount of forces are
negative.

Topic 53: Health, safety, environmental and cost issues regarding operation, disposal, and re-use of decommisioned plants

In some years to come a large proportion of the offshore
platform will need to be decommissioned. Can we discuss the health, safety, environmental and cost issues as
regards the operation,disposal, and any potential re-use of decommisioned plants and structures?

XFEM convergence problem(the problem has converged, along Meshsize not...)

Hallo,

i have the following problem, when i refine the mesh of Mode I fracture with XFEM, the Force Displacement curve seems not to converge.

Mesh Size:

15*15

25*25

51*51

75*75

the reaction force is going to be smaller and smaller...

can somebody help me? thank u very much!!

ask for some papers

Hi dear all

i want to ask you help me for downloading some papers and sending me by Email.the URL of this papers are written below.I will appricite your help.

thanks alot

Reinforcement bar relation with concrete (grade) strength

Hi,

For any structure (beam/slab/column etc) subjected to a same (fix) load, If I am using different grades of concrete (M10, M30, M60, M80 etc), what  will be effect on reinforcement? Will it remains same or change? Is there any thumb rule for same?

Whether percentage of reinforcement will remain same or change with change in grade of concrete? 

 

 

Thankyou, 

Amit

Topic 49: Safety issues during drilling operations.

These blogs are the perfect way to develop many and various safety discussions covering large areas of industries. As a student of an MSc in Oil and Gas Engineering I would like to develop a discussion related to safety issues in the sector of well drilling and generally the operations associated with this activity.
