Material properties and temperature

Submitted by ghayth81 on

Hi All,



 As you know the material properties such as Modulus of Elasticity, Poisson's ratio and Shear Modulus are temperature dependent. Especially, the polymer material as it shows significant reduction in strength and stiffness with temperature increasing.



I did a tensile test on adhesive material at different temperatures. The results showed that the E-modulus is reduced about 70% at 60 °C and the Poisson’s ratio increased also.

hiii

i m, arun sahu student of IIT kharagpur.my mtech thesis is effect of dynamic loading on slope stability analysis in open cast mines.i hav startted my work using software ABAQUS.can i give velocity as input in abaqus?

and here i just want to give trapezoidal form of load up to 2 sec.so plz help me in these ...............

 

Capturing wetting angles in transient simulations of fluids

Submitted by Mikael Öhman on

Dear all,
I'm trying to simulate the transient behavior of a fluid and I'm finding it very difficult to capture the wetting angle.
To begin with, I only considering the idealized case.

The common approach is to apply the pressure load
p = 2 H γ
where p is the pressure (normal traction) on the surface, H is the Gaussian curvature of the surface, and γ is the surface energy
This load will of course always yield the same equilibrium shape for a viscous fluid, regardless of the value of γ.

Now, comparing with Young's relation, where one obtains a balance containing surface energies for every interface.

Post-Doctoral Position in Mechanics of Brain and Eye Development at Washington University in St. Louis

Submitted by Larry A. Taber on

An opening is available immediately for a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.  The successful candidate will study the mechanics of early brain and eye development as part of a new NIH-funded project involving faculty in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and the Washington University School of Medicine.
