ABAQUS Post processing

Submitted by tanmoy.deb@iit… on

I have modeled a pile which was made to penetrate at a constant rate (Displacement controlled loading) into the soil. The steps were divided into geostatic, contact and Applied load steps. After the program runs successfully, i am facing difficulty in extracting the results.

 I want to plot the load vs. displacement curve at the bottom of the pile.  After i have summed up all the nodal forces at the bottom of the pile, the total load was coming quite less as compared to the applied Load/Displacement.

Full time PhD scholarship at RMIT University, Australia: Mechanics of Nanocomposites

Submitted by Jie Yang on

PhD scholarship is immediately available at the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, Australia. Applications are invited for two open positions in one of the following areas: (1) Mechanics of nanotubes and graphene; (2) Multiscale simulation of functionally graded or nanotubes/graphene reinforced composites; (3) Thermal buckling and post-buckling of composite structures. The research work is supported by Australian Research Council under Discovery Projects scheme.

 

Benchmark: 3D geometrical model established from 3D lattice Green function & lattice Boltzmann method and Blob 3D code

Submitted by BoJing Zhu on

A 3D geometrical model which establish by 3D LG-LB code and Blob 3D is attached.  The results are very interesting!

 

To computing mechnics/physics, if the complex geometrical model can be established definited correcte! so many interesting work can be done to exploring the microstructure deformation_stress process under ULTP.

PhD position in cell and tissue mechanics using bio-MEMS approaches, SUNY Buffalo

Submitted by ruogang zhao on

One funded PhD position will be available in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York (SUNY). The position will be available in the Fall, 2014. The research area will focus on using bio-MEMS techniques to create novel cell culture platforms for cell mechanics and mechanobiological studies. Projects may include mechanics involved in the fibrosis diseases, cancer invasion and stem cell differentiation.

SPH inlet & outlet boundary conditions for internal flow (dynamically creating/removing particles from computational domain)

Submitted by vasylivy on

Hi All,

I am trying to model internal flows using SPH in Abaqus. The current problem I am running into are the inlet/outlet boundary conditions. I need a way to be able to monitor the inlet and outlet zones and dynamically remove/create nodes (i.e., particles). Here is the process I have in mind.
