Applying friction induced torque

Submitted by MehdiTU on

Hello,

I am modelling a beam inside a tubular constraint using beam elements in Abaqus explicit dynamic analysis.  I used connector elements for creating a radial clearance. The connector can apply axial friction, but I am wondering how to apply friction induced moment. It clearly depnedes on moving direction of the beam. Please let me know what you think about a strategy to model the moment.

Thanks.

Approaching CNT Reinforcing Up-limit by Hydrogen Passivation Induced Dispersion

Submitted by Xiaodong Li on

We have developed a technique, described in Advanced Materials , which combines hydrogen passivation with ultrasonication to successfully disperse multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in both absolute ethanol solution and epoxy resin, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in the application of nanotubes.

Postdocs in large deformation continuum mechanics at Carnegie Mellon-Qatar and at Michigan State University (East Lansing)

Submitted by Tom Pence on

We anticipate three postdoc openings, two at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and one at Michigan State University (East Lansing). The research will involve developing continuum mechanical models for treating swelling in highly deformable soft biological tissue and for treating complex compliant media, meaning materials with a microstructure that actively rearranges either as a part of its normal function or else when triggered by external stimuli.
