PhD studentship position on "modelling of surface defects transformation in hot rolling of steel"

Submitted by Ghadbeigi on Wed, 09/25/2013 - 10:43

a PhD student ship is available for UK/EU nationals (ONLY) to develop a Finite Element model of the rolling
operation to predict the behaviour of surface defects on the rolled
material during hot rolling of steels. The effects of geometrical parameters along with the material
properties and the rolling geometry, such as bite angle, on the behaviour of
the surface defects during rolling will be investigated. The
project is partially funded by Tata Steel Europe,

defining a response spectrum in abaqus 6.10

Submitted by Lekshmi Dinachandran on Wed, 09/25/2013 - 09:04

Hi,

I am trying to perform a response spectrum analysis of a tall tower. I work with abaqus 6.10, but i am unsure of how to define a spectrum. there is no spectrum radio button on the create amplitude menu... so i guess i have to edit the keywords.

does anyone have an example of how a spectrum can be defined? i'd be much grateful

Regards,

Lekshmi Remesh

how to apply body force in abaqus

Submitted by Hua Wang on Wed, 09/25/2013 - 04:42

I can obtain the body force with matlab.

Because the body force is discrete，the data of body force is a large matrix.

So, how can i import the data of body force to abaqus.

thanks a lot.

Energy formulations of nonlinear elasticity including electric / magnetic couplings

Submitted by liuliping on Tue, 09/24/2013 - 15:32

Equilibrium theories for a continuum body may be formulated by either of the
following the classic paradigms: (1) We begin with the stress postulation (Cauchy’s formulation) and write down the kinematics, conservation laws, and
constitutive relations. In this way, one can obtain a system of field equations
which, presumably, can be solved upon specifying boundary conditions and
determine the equilibrium state of the body. (2) A second way is to start from
the energy postulation (Green’s
