Hi everybody,

do you know where I can find some informations about the relation

between particle size and critical normal stress at the interface particle /matrix

for a particle embedded in a matrix?

I read the Chen's article 'Size effect of particles on the damage dissipation in nanocomposites'

but this article deals with spherical particles. I am studying clay/matrix nanocomposites and I would like to

calculate the relation between clay size and debonding stress.

Thanks,

Cecilia

How many iMechanica users are on Twitter?  And how many are on Twitter with professional contacts? 

 I started to use Twitter about 4 months ago in a completely social, non-professional context.  As a personal (expat-focussed) blogger, I started to notice that I was
catching blog posts in my Twitter feed before I would see them in my
feed aggregator (Bloglines).   Twitter has emerged as a different sort
of feed aggregator, as well as a provider of information. 

0 Thickness Cohesive Zone Modeling

Ask iMechanica

Hi friends:

This is Henry, a graduate student in USA.

I am recently trying to model a 0 thickness cohesive zone with curvature and I realize that by using mesh edit.

When I made it and submit the job, the ABAQUS always told me the node numbering has a problem and thus abort the job.

Does anyone who has experience with that?

Thanks.

Henry.

Dear Colleagues,



We like to draw your attention to the mini-symposium



MS6043 - Computational Mechanics of Electro-Active Materials



organized by Prof. Ellen Kuhl, Prof. Andreas Menzel and myself in the

WCCM IX. The abstract outlining the objectives of this integrative

mini-symposium is enclosed to this post as plain text and also as a

pdf-attachment.
