J. Mechanical Behavior Biomedical Materials - first impact factor of 3.176!

Submitted by Louise Morris on

I'm pleased to announce that the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials (JMBBM) has received its first impact factor. For 2009 the impact factor is 3.176*, ranking JMMBM 4th in category Materials Science, Biomaterials and 8th in Engineering, Biomedical.

Congratulations to the editorial team - a great result reflecting all their contributions since the Journal's inception in 2007 - and sincere thanks to the authors and reviewers who supported the Journal in its first three years!

FSI Analysis to Understand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Submitted by ADINA Support on

1. We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the study of carpal tunnel syndrome. The analyses involve large deformations and contact of multiple flexible bodies which are immersed in a fluid:

Testing standard impact test

Submitted by Anna Dolgran on

Dear imechanicans,

 

I am starting to do charpy test on a fiber composite and I am wondering about the testing standards. (because I dont wont to choose a wrong geometrie).

The problem is: the given sample is a hollow tube with a given wall thickness.

 Do you have any ideas on which testing standrads my analysis should be based on?

Or what should I pay attention? (because it is not a standard sample)?

 

THANKS

[SOLVED] 3D crack growth modelling in Abaqus by XFEM

Submitted by Yazri Yaakob on

Good day everyone,

I'm new to iMechanica and look forward to getting to know everyone here.

I'm currently doing analysis of interlaminar crack growth in fibre-reinforced composite by Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) using Abaqus. I'm a new Abaqus user and therefore I have to familiarise myself by constructing random 2D and 3D models with isotropic materials before jumping onto anisotropic.
