contact & Geometric non linearity
I am looking for acadmic material to address contact & Geometric (Large deformation) non-linearity problem. Can anyone provide the material to address these two concept in details.
Thanks

Deformation gradient in VUMAT of ABAQUS
Forums
Free Tags
Dear All,
In ABAQUS manual, it is said for hyperelastic material, it is better to define it by stretch tensor U. But if I need to use deformation gradient F in the material model directly, I need to rotate the stress back to corotational frame. How should I do that? Should I make a polar decomposition of F=R*U first, and then apply Rt*S*R? or I can use the relative spin increment already provided to do that? If so, how?

Every engineers,
I am Homo and go to learn ABAQUS, but I have many questions, i.e.:
What is difference between Section points and Integration point in ABAQUS(espesialy in beam elements )?
Waiting for your kindly response

Scholarships for Computational Mechanics in the UK for non-EU students
Dear non-EU students who want to study in the UK,
You are encouraged to look at the fellowship offers below. If you qualify for these and are interested in working in a dynamic group in computational mechanics in Glasgow, please contact me directly stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com
Our department has a growing team of PhD students (more than 20 at the moment) working in cognate disciplines, which will give you a unique opportunity for a strong PhD in computational mechanics.
iMechanica will be down briefly at 10 am this Friday
Just got a message from Lesley Lam, iMechanica user number 1, as follows. Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences IT is in the process of moving our servers to a faster, newer host. As part of this process, I would like to take down iMechanica for about 10 minutes on Friday October 3rd at 10am. I am hoping this will improve performance and reliability on the machine as well.

chimaney silencer + acoustic + ASME standard
Dear All my friends,
I have to design silencer at chimaney outlet. The silencer can be easily designed for mechanical strength as per ASME section VIII standard. But now I have to design the silencer from acoustic point of view as I have to consider the db level of the sound generated due to very high velocity flue gases.
please tell me which ASME standard can I follow to meet the requirement from acoustic point of views.
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Abhijit Nalawade.
