Does anyone have any idea on how to perform Pushover Analysis in ANSYS? I think it should be the same Static Anlysis in ANSYS. Any ideas? Thanks.

dear friends,

I am a bit confused as some literature says its a long column and other says short column meant to take compressive loads only.

Hello,

  I am interested about the Mortar Finite Element Methods. I have a general idea about what it is about. I am interested in some text which can get me started. While looking for some books on the subject I could find 2 (one phd thesis in book form by Yang and a unpublished book from CRC press to be out by June 2011) and some on books on Domain decomposition methods. Since I dont have easy access to library facilties, I would like to know if there are papers whichcan get me started.

 Thanks a lot,

 Dr. Sachin Singh Gautam

I am student in doctorate and I’m working on the experimental and numerical behavior of brick wall masonry and i am utilising UDEC and 3DEC code i have some problem to establish the file data for this code, if you can help me and transmit this file dada please

Hello everybody, i am new in abaqus, is anyone who knows how to apply periodic boundary conditions, for example for unit cell. The piece of code would be very much appreciated

for example ´

if i have on the left hand side node set NSET1, on the right hand site NSET2 than i should use equation like this for periodic boundary conditions in x-direction?

*EQUATION

NSET1, 1,1, NSET2, 1, 1????

Please help 

Best regards

Dear imechanicans,

I am seeking for a postdoctoral position in the field of biomaterials. I am interested in the mechanical behaviour of natural systems and the development of new materials. I just finished my PhD on the mechanics of crotch and would like to continue my study in the field of biomechanics/biomaterials. I am highly motivated and well organized.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi!
In the terzaghi equation, there is a constant M (some books call is elastic oedemetric coefficient).
Since the terzaghi equation is a special case for the general 3D biot equations under oedemetric testboundary conditions, does any book or material explain the derivation?
If I want to mode the terzaghi problem using 3D model in FE program, the M is known, then how to get thecorresponding values of young's modulus and poisson's ratio in order to give the same response from the 3D model?
Thanks for your attention. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

One of the book may help us understand why Boltzmann can have so many new ideas (atom theory, statics mechanics and so on)

hi all,

I want to know how the element quality is decided.

For example: for warpage of elment if allowable limit is max 15deg, what will happen if it exceeds 30 deg.

On what basis this limit is calculated.

Like this for the other quality parameters also.

plz help

Hi all,        I want to capture strain-rate behaviour of materials but unfortunately abaqus does not have Cowper-Symonds which is a widely used (simple) model. However johnson-cook is to complicate for me as not much details are available in literature as i am modeling bio-materials. Is there any good substitute for Cowper-Symonds models in abaqus. Thanks.
