hello,everyone!
I'm a freshman on abaqus implementation of xfem.Can anyone send me some simple example to me for learning?I have learnt some papers written by pro.Giner,but I really cant understand the heaviside function. That is why I come here to ask someone for help.
best wish!

The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces one vacant PhD position in the field of Fracture of Ni-alloys.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track faculty position in Mechanics of Solids and Structures. The appointment is expected to be at the assistant professor level; in an exceptional case, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, development of an independent, internationally-recognized research program, and supervision of student research.
In appendix A of my PhD thesis, I share a MATLAB code to get coordinates of carbon atoms in a graphene sheet. The code also generates the data file required for LAMMPS. In addition, I included a sample input and the corresponding output files from LAMMPS. I hope this will be useful for those who would like to learn MD simulations.
Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) package can also be used to obtain coordinates of graphene.
Hi all,
This is my first post on iMechanica. I'm a student at UC Davis working on my master's project which is a FEM analysis of a bridge footing. I've scoured the web, read and reread the Abaqus Documentation, and tried trial and error for a couple weeks on a problem, to no avail. Here's the issue:
Dear Engineers,
I would like to determine the density of laminated composite which consists of one lamina E-Glass/Epoxy and another one is thin layer of steel plate due to determining Young's Modulus through non-diestructive technique-Impulse excitation.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
