Summary:



I am thinking of informally conducting a specific case-study concerning the FEA solvers. The reference problem is a very simple but typical problem from stress analysis, leading of course to the linear systems: Ax = b and Ax = Lx.



I seek advice as to what software libraries currently available in the public domain would be best to use---the ones that would be fastest in terms of execution time for the reference problem.

Dear all,

I have read the paper titled Haversian cortical bone model with many radial microcraks: An elastic analytic solution. My problems and the paper are attached.I hope you can see the problems and the corresponding paper. Thanks for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Xu Wang

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Duke Computational Mechanics Laboratory, beginning in September of 2010 (with flexibility on timing).  Funding for the fellowship concerns research in the simulation of dynamic fracture of polycarbonate.  The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following areas (in no particular order of importance):

I read this article today, perhaps other beginners like me can also get some benefit from this:

Title: Overview of constitutive laws, kinematics, homogenization and multiscale methods in crystal plasticity finite-element modeling: Theory, experiments, applications.  

Hi All,

A minisymposium on Meshfree and Particle Methods will be organized for the International

Conference on Computational Methods (ICCM) 2010. ICCM 2010 will be organized and hosted by

College of Mechanical & Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University during November 19th-21st, 2010 in

Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China. Please check the ICCM 2010 website

http://dmvb.hnu.cn/ICCM2010 for more information about the conference and the venue.

We present an application of ADINA FSI in the study of the human coughing mechanism. The aim of the study is to help surgeons to position tracheal implants effectively. Please see

Hello Everyone

Can anybody suggest a good review article for the efforts in computational fatigue and any relevant books.

Thanks
