help needed in writing matlab code for finite element analysis of composite with piezo layers
hi everybody,
the element that i considered is 8 noded 2d isoparametric element. composite consists of 5 layers out of which the top and bottom are piezo layers. please help me in writing matlab code for the problem specified .
Topic 47: Effectiveness of using RBD, FTA, ETA and Bayesian Network in modelling failure of equipments in the industry
Reliability Block Diagram (RBD), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA) and Bayesian Network have been said to be useful tools in the Safety and Reliability class. How reliable is this? Can we discuss if this is true.

Dear Colleague
i cant read the odb file from the abaqus result, please tell how can i fix it or read it. Thanks
Topic 51: Energy landscape of the future and the risks associated
People say that by 2040 the energy landscape
will definitely change. It is also believed that by 2040 the global energy demand
will be increased by 30% while the population is
expected to be increased by 25%.
How will these affect the industries? What are the risks associated? Undoubtedly,
fossil fuels will remain the world's
major sources of energy (at least 50% t of the world's energy supplies). That

DOFs in Abaqus
Hi,
I got a simple 2D problem (a rectangular shell, static general, CPS4R element), with 557 nodes, each of them have 2 DOFs (U1 and U2), according to the data file. But when I print out the ELEMENT STIFFNESS MATRIX, for each element it is a 12x12 matrix which means the rotational DOF about z axis is also taken into account. How can I omit this 3rd DOF? Can I?
Thank you.
