Journal Club Theme of August 2011: Energy Harvesting Using Soft Materials
Submitted by Adrian S. J. Koh on Mon, 2011-08-01 07:12.Energy harvesting is the process of converting energy that will otherwise be dissipated into the ambient environment, into useful energy to do work. I shall focus this discussion on motion-based energy harvesting. Motion-based energy harvesting is the process of converting dissipated mechanical energy into electrical energy. Sources of mechanical energy include the ocean waves, wind, human motion, vehicular traffic, and vibrations in buildings and bridges. This source of energy is ubiquitous and pervasive, and yet, it is one of the least developed energy harvesting technology.

Plotting the Johnson-Cook strength model
Submitted by HS_impact on Thu, 2011-02-03 21:59.I'm trying to plot the stress-strain curve described by the Johnson-Cook strength (and eventually damage) models. The strength model is defined as:
σ=[A+Bεn][1+C ln(ε_dot*)][1-T*m]
where A, B, C, n, and m are material constants, ε_dot* is the non-dimensionalized strain rate, and T* is the homologous temperature where T*=(T-T0)/(Tmelt-T0)
To calculate the thermal softening (term in the last bracket of the J-C model), I need to determine the increase in temperature related to an increase in stress (and strain). I'm using the following equation:
ΔT=∫ Χ (σ/(ρ*cp)) dε

Simulating Hole punching operation using MSC Marc
Submitted by kruzster on Fri, 2010-07-09 16:31.Does anyone who has previously worked on MSC Marc worked with the concept of element activation and deactivation...?
I need to do a simulation wherein a hole is required to be punched in an alloy steel bar.
The issue is that I am not sure as to how to go about this.
If there is anyone who can guide me through this ..I would appreciate it..!!
Regards,
Krunal.

Determination of material Mechanical Properties in ANSYS using Force-Displacement graph obtianed experimentally
Submitted by Abdullah Chami on Tue, 2009-04-07 16:46.Hi all.
I am a doctor course student in Biomechanics in Nagoya University - Japan.
I read a bunch of papers in which the determining the conffecients of hyperelasticty of the skin soft tissue was done by using FE Simulation of an expermiment that can be performed on the skin then TWEAKING (IN FACT ANSYS SUPPOSE TO HAVE AN ITERATIVE MODEULE TO DO THIS) the conffecients so THAT the force-displacement results from the simulation are close enough to the ones obtained from experiment.
NOW:
I have the Experiment results
I have a FE model of the experiment
I chose ogden model for the hyperelasticity of the skin, AND THE QUESTION IS :
