 Hi everybody

I'm searching for the following papers

A.C. Kaya and F. Erdogan :"Stress Intensity Factors and COD in an Orthotropic Strip", Int J Fract (1980), pp 171-190

D. S. Dugdale "Yielding of Steel Sheets Containing Slits" J Mech Phys Solids, Vol 8 (1960), p 100-104

G I Barenblatt. The mathematical theory of equilibrium cracks in brittle fracture. Adv. Appl. Mech., pages 55-129, 1962.

Thanks for help

Hi .,,I applied heat flux in my model(mechanical APDL-ANSYS) but ANSYS calculate HEATFLUX for whole period of time..It MEANS AS I SELECT HIGHER TIME STEPS THE RESULTANT NODAL TEMPRATURES ARE HIGHER(INSTEAD OF LOWER TEMPRATURES AS A RESULT OF COOLING)..CAN anyone help me with applying heat flux for a short period of time(0.2 second) in ANSYS.I would be highly appreciated for your kind support.

Does anyone know of an employment website that caters to scientists? All the sites I have tried (Dice, ZipRecruiter, TechCareers, JobFox, Monster.com etc.) have been a disappointment.  They send me tons of spam about jobs in sales (or other vague categories) with "unlimited earnings potential", and for only $99 they'll teach me how to convert my resume into ASCII format!

the iMAM is welcoming applications from outstanding post-doctoral researchers from outside the UK seeking research experience in our computational mechanics group. The successful candidate would join a group of 7 post-docs and 7 PhD students led by four academics and, in particular, an ERC Starting Independent Research Group.

Email stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com for details.

Hi HOW CAN I APPLY HEAT FLUX FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN TRANSIENT THERMAL(ansys)..I applied heat flux using table array parameters but as time goes on (higher time steps)Ansys consider heat flux for whole time step,,,while I have heat flux just for 0.2 on the area.

New question!

I want to explore the same problem in two-dimensional structure (e.g. thin plate).

According to Love simplification, the cross section rotates but the shear

deflection is neglected. This means the edge cross section is not

vertical actually. Can I still assume the shear force on the edge cross

section is always vertical?  e.g. free boundary condition on a circular plate under a concentrated in-plane edge force.
