A review of recent masonry research and its relationship to the masonry 2007 innovation and research strategy

i'm now doing some work on masonry structures, about seismic resistance , sesimic assessment, and numerical modeling , restoration of masonry structures,

so somebody else doing this work now ?  we can talk about this subject.

CONSTANT Velocity Gradient

Submitted by John Craighead on

I'm hoping that someone can share the physical significance (i.e. type of motion) resulting when the (spatial) velcity gradient L is constant. I'm not certain if L constant wrt to only position or also time. Gurtin (The Mechanics & Thermodynamics of Continua, pp. 107-08) uses this assumption to develop the motion equation given below.

questions about abaqus software package

Hello

I was analyzing pavement subjected to traffic wheel load. I was using the load as cyclic pressure. Suppose an amount of pressure with 200 different time frame. But I am not getting the right result as measured. So, would you please help on applying moving load? How can I assigned that load as moving load? where can I find the step load function? how can I determine the initial increment? is it more realistic to simulate the wheel load as dynamic? how can I do that?

Thanks a lot.

 

 Best regards,

Constructing the extension velocity or updating the signed distance of a level set

Dear all,
I had been looking forward to use level sets to keep track of the surface in a simulation, but one thing has me stumped. Since many here work with XFEM, I was hoping someone might have some valuable input.

I want to simulate flows driven by a surface tension. This will typically yield holes, which will close rapidly. At the point at which the hole disappears, the signed distance function will have a discontinuity.
I would expect this to happen in pretty much any fluid simulation, but I can't see any way to handle it.

boundary condition in plate analysis

Submitted by M.Hassan Mansouri on
research

Dear All

 I have a problem with some theories in plate analysis such as bending and buckling of plates.

 you know that in various theories of plates, equations have different order and different number of boundary condiotions must be apply. for example in classisal theory of plates we have 4 B.C.,  and in first order shear deformation theory the number of B.C. are 5.

I am confused, how should I recognize the number of required B.C. in each theory?

 

Regards

Mansouri
