How to analyse a microstructure using ABACUS
hi can anyone know how to analyse a microstructure in ABACUS,what are all the preprocessing steps we have to do before solving in abacus like (how to convert into cad model,meshing etc)

How to reconstruct a microstructure into 3D
hi everyone,can anybody tell me how to reconstruct a microstructure into 3D for analysing in abacus.

Dear colleagues and friends,
Overhead Electrical Conductors
Stick-slip model (based exclusively on Coulomb’s laws of friction) for conductor bending may be improved by taking into account actual inter-layer contact conditions: elliptical contact areas with tangential elasticity and micro-slip regions. Starting with Papailiou’s model, this has been done by Paradis and Légeron. Work was presented in 2011 at the 9th International Symposium on Cable Dynamics, held in Shanghai (China). Model has been applied to variable curvature case using FEA (in a Matlab environment). Numerical results are compared with Papailiou’s experimental results.

Is wear law really Archard's law (1953), or Reye's law (1860) ???
In 1860 the mathematician and geometer Reye proposed a simple and elegant theory for explaining the consumption of a solid body when it slides with friction on a rough surface [8]. Reye’s model became very popular in Europe (in Italy was promulgated by Panetti [7]), and it is still taught in university courses of applied mechanics. But, strangely enough, this theory has been totally ignored in English and American literature. Why? A paper from 2001 by Villaggio is interesting to read today.
