Congratulations to Professors Jan Achenbach, Zdenek Bazant, Pol Spanos, Zhigang Suo and Wei Yang for receiving the ASME awards
In addition to the ASME awards related to the Applied Mechanics Division, some prestigious society awards will be given to mechanicians at the IMECE, Houston, Texas, in November 2012.
Professor Jan Achenbach of Northwestern University will receive the ASME Medal. [ASME Medal, established in 1920, is the highest award that the Society can bestow and is to recognize “eminently distinguished engineering achievement.” Only one ASME Medal may be awarded annually.]

Hello, I would like to know under what situation will a stiffness matrix in a FEM problem become non-symmetric? Is there any good reference to this topic? Thanks.
defining mass source for dynamic analysis in ABAQUS
Forums
hey there,
please, how can I define the mass for implicit dynamic analysis (i.e; seismic loading) ???
My material is C3D8 if this information is usefull!

Damage evolution in ABAQUS: Damage variable and displacement
Hi,
I am using Abaqus to simulate crack propagation during 3 point bend test. In the Materials section I am defining the Damage evolution and I have chosen to specify softening in tabulated data format. Tabulated data will include damage variable vs. displacement.
I am having difficulty in providing this data. If anyone has done some related work and know of some thing similar then please let me know.
Thanks,
Gyanender
sequential Abaqus input change
Hello,
I need to write a python script that changes the inputs in my MDB file and then runs the abaqus code and gets the output and then goes on with another sets of inputs.
Since I am quite a beginner in abaqus-python scripting, does anyone has any clue how to do this automatically, I mean not changing the inputs in every run manually.
Thanks,
Omid
