Hello,

Seeking Help: Can anyone share a copy of the following articles: P.C. Bregman, M. Kuipers, H.L.J. Teerling, W.A. van der Veen. Strength and stiffness of a flexible high-pressure spiral hose. Acta Mechanica 97, 185-204 (1993) and B.A. van den Horn & M. Kuipers. Strength and stiffness of a reinforced flexible hose. Applied Scientific Research 45: 251-281 (1988) (which I had and somehow lost).

Thanks in advance

Contact and XFEM?

Hi,



Initially, I asked this question to the Yahoo Group COMSOL
(FE package for multi physics simulation) because I thought, that there I
can find someone who is familiar with both COMSOL and Abaqus.
Unfortunately, among the experts of COMSOL I did not find an expert in
Abaqus.

COMSOL has an example 'Tube Connection' - a flange with four prestressed
bolts is subjected to tensile forces. To compute the influence of the
tensile force on the stress level in the bolt, the model includes a
