damage to fracture (formation and propagation of the discontinuity)
hello,
I am working on modeling of Continuum damage in isotropic materials. I have written a Matlab code for modeling of a continuous damage and I have verified it with several examples. In this modeling, I have mesh-size independent through the smeared damage model. Now, my aim is to present a continous-discontinous model.

Shear waves, medecine and brain
Usually ultrasound equipment in medicine only use compressional waves.
But since human tissues have a high bulk modulus, the P-wave speed is
relatively constant (around 1580 m/s). Human tissues are very stiff if
you apply isotropic constraints on them (like pressure of water).
However M. Fink and his colleagues proposed a new way to investigate
human tissues by first sending a strong compressional wave in the tissue
that is able to make ripples in the body, then shear wave are produced

Question about the meshfree analysis when two types of materials coexist in the background cell
Hi, everyone!
I will employ the meshfree method in order to analyze the composite model including the spherical filler and matrix.
However, if the background cells are regular reluctantly, there will be background cells where two types of materials coexist.
In this case, I don't know how to calculate the integral form, K=int_V B'CB dV, numerically.
apply a seismic load in abaqus
i want to model a single pile whith surrounding soil in abaqus. my problem is about:
1)step mudulus: how i must define step mudulus to obtain a time history and spectral(frequency) displacement response.
2)how i can apply elcentro spectrum in abaqus. i dont know nothing about this.
thanks
