Matlab - ANSYS interface

Submitted by nabeel963030 on

Hi 

I am woking on an optimization problem. In this optimization problem I want to use Matlab and ANSYS.  In which MATLAB  initiating the optimization problem, and  send input values to ANSYS, then ANSYS find some results and send it to Matlab...then continue the optimization process.

Can any one help me to do these comunications between Matlab and ANSYS?

Indentation Stress and Displacement Fields

Submitted by Jay Palaniappan on

I am looking for stress and displacement fields for indentation of an elastic half-space with a rigid spherical indenter. Anthony C. Fischer-Cripps provides closed form expressions (no derivations) for stress fields in his textbook "Introduction to Contact Mechanics" (Chapter 5, Page 88-89). He cites the work of M.T. Huber[1] which is in German (Annalen der Physik, 1904). 

Can someone point me to an English language reference for the analytical derivation of displacement and stress fields in the interior of the specimen ?

IOSO vs Genetic Algorithm (comparison on practical optimization problem)

Submitted by IOSOnier on

Dear Colleagues,



Here we would like to offer you the summary from a published work concernign the optimization of industrial object. The work describes the application of parallel IOSO algorithms and parallel genetic algorithm PGA for the solution of optimization of 3D serpentine cooling passage inside a turbine blade.

 

 

 

cauchy stress, first piola kirchoff stress, second piola kirchof stress

Submitted by bruno-page on

Some basic questions involving cauchy stress, first piola kirchof stress and second piola kirchof stress:

1) We know that Cauchy stress involved deformed areas-therefore this (Cauchy stress) has an obvious physical interpretation

2)Now, first piola kirchof stress is expressed as:

S = JF^-1 . sigma

where, J is the jacobian of the deformation gradient which physically is the measure of the volume change produced by a deformation.

F is the deformation gradient

sigma is Cauchy stress.

Principle of virtual work and conservation of linear momentum

Submitted by bruno-page on

I've been reading Prof.Bower's text on solid mechanics:

Can anyone plz help me to understand how principle of virtual work is another form of conservation of linear momentum?

fluid statics, (behaviour of lighter & heavier bodies in water) at constant acceleration

Submitted by petroengr on

If a car filled with water is accelerated at uniform rate, and a heavy object is hanged by a string from the top of the car and a balloon with a string from the bottom of the car. What would be the direction of deflection of balloon & the heavy object. I would appreciate if someone could explain to me the phenomena of deflection, which would be helpful for me to better understand the topic please.
