cohesive element definition in ABAQUS
Hi there,
I am sure a lot of you have been using ABAQUS to define cohesive elements. I have seen a lot of forums here and a lot of them specified the Alfano 2001 paper as a great reference. Here is the title of the paper incase anyone is wondering which paper:
G. Alfano and M.A. Crisfield, Finite element interface models for the delamination analysis of laminated composites: mechanical and computational issues, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering 50 (2001), pp. 1701–1736.
Novel discretization techniques for moving discontinuities and singularities
Dear Colleagues,
The next *WCCM 2010* (World Congress in Computational Mechanics)
Conference will be held in Sydney (AUSTRALIA) on July 19 - 23, 2010.
Within this conference, Stephane Bordas and myself are organizing a
minisymposium dedicated to ...
"Novel discretization techniques for moving discontinuities and
singularities". You can download some explanatory text on the topics
and methods in the file uploaded to the "files" part of this group. We

Hi,
I am working on a coupled fluid structure problem , precisley on the elasto-acoustic mode, of a system consist on a cube which define the fluid domain coupled with an elastic plate.
The boundry conditions is:
- all the face of the cube is regid only the face coupled with the plate
- the plate is simply supported at the interface
Tenure track positions at Halmstad University
Halmstad University (Sweden) is looking for young researchers to join our research groups in embedded and intelligent systems, specifically for intelligent vehicles in joint work with Volvo Technology in Gothenburg. Two positions are currently open: one with a focus on vehicle diagnostics, maintenance and uptime, and one with a focus on autonomous vehicles.
Remeshing when using Abaqus
Hi
I am modelling a contact problem using Abaqus and I am trying to use remeshing hoping to get more accurate results in critical locations. But I encounter following error:" the area of 7 elements is zero, small or negative". Despite of the definitions of the remeshing rules always the error message appears when size of elements is quite a small. My goal is to get minimum element size 1E-7m in critical location. The error message appears much before that goal. I am very grateful if someone could help.
Looking for a PhD student
A Ph.D. position has recently become available in my research group (www.eng.uwyo.edu/mechanical/research/frick/), to explore thermo-mechanical
behavior of shape memory polymers for biomedical applications. A
strong candidate with a M.S. or B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Materials Science, or a related discipline is required. A good
academic record, a clear interest in experimental sciences, and an
enthusiasm to conduct outstanding research are the only prerequisites.
poroelasticity
Does anyone have experience using poroelasticity model? I dont underestand the abaqus model -the logarithmic bulk modulus and.., where are these coming from?Is anyone knows a reference book to link those?
