Observation of Dislocations
Dear all,
What are the possible methods to observe dislocations in a material? Which one is better?
thank you in advance..

A PhD student position on Computational Structural Mechanics is available in Department of Civil Engineering, The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC
from Fall 2014.
PhD Research Topics: numerical modeling in one of the following areas:
-Dynamic soil-structure-interaction (SSI) analysis,
- Inverse scattering problems for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of structures,
- Optimization of wave sources for elastic wave-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR),
Rotational Abaqus Direct Cyclic Boundary Condition
Greetings,
I am attempting to model the rotation of a cylindrical bar using Abaqus 6.12 coupled with the direct cylic approach. In my model I have one end of the beam fixed while the other has a kinematic coupling constraint to a reference point that has an applied rotation of 0.1 rad.
XFEM for rock in ABAQUS
Hi
I tried to simulating crack propagation with XFEM method in porous media (rock), but got error code 144 (like this error" the executable C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.9-1\exec\standard.exe aborted with system error code 144. Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files for error messages if the files exist. If there are no error messages and you cannot resolve the problem, please run the command" )
I think abaqus 6.11 can't simulating crock propagation with XFEM method in porous media , is it true?
Minisymposium on Nano and Biomechanics at 2014 USNCTAM
Dear Mechanics Colleagues:
A pleasant reminder that we invite you to submit an abstract to a minisymposium on "Nano and Bio
Mechanics" for the 2014 USNCTAM, June 15-20, 2014, to be held at
Michigan State University. This minisymposium will focus on the
development and application of
both experimental techniques and computational models and methods to
problems of interest in the fields of nano and bio mechanics. Topics of
interest will include, but are not limited to:
Ask a question about ABAQUS
Hi Dear All
I have simulated a beam weakend by blunt V-notch. I want to define a set around the notch tip utilizing my desired points borrowed from the computer programming. How could I define this set?
I really apprciate if any one could help me.
High-temperature tensile behavior of freestanding Au thin films
In this paper, the mechanical behavior of freestanding thin sputter-deposited films of Au is studied at temperatures up to 340°C using tensile testing. Films tested at elevated temperatures exhibit a significant decrease in flow stress and stiffness. Furthermore the flow stress decreases with decreasing film thickness, contravening the usual notion that “smaller is stronger”. This behavior is attributed mainly to diffusion-facilitated grain boundary sliding.
This paper has been accepted by Scripta Materialia.
