Topic 24: Safety in Hydropower
The biggest disaster in terms of fatalities in the energy industry was the 1975 Banqiao Dam failure in China which killed over 170,000 people. However this is not the only hydroelectric dam failure which has cause loss of life and major damage in the surrounding area. The accidents in this sector are rare but when something does go wrong then the consequences are usually fatal. Planners need to take a lot of geological and environmental issues into account when they plan building new hydroelectric plants but sometimes the events can’t be predicted.
Modelling Crack in Abaqus
Hi everyone
I am new user in Abaqus, i read most of the posts related to the modelling the crack but unfortunately i didnt get a clear procedure, maybe it is due to my weakness in this software.
i want to model a crack in abaqus and analysis the crack propagation, actually i am working on piezoelectric material, but i want to know, can you tell me different steps to model a crack and then how to analyze the propagation on it.
Please help me is this case.
Regarding generation of .fil files
Hello,
Let me tell the steps for procedure for the generation of .fil files form INP or .odb files?Because fesafe asks for .fil files from Abaqus 6.11 version/. Please help me.
Thank you.
WithRegards,

Hands-On Microfluidics Simulation Workshop.
The NNIN/C at the University of Michigan will be hosting a free Workshop
entitled ” Comsol Hands-on Workshop on Microfluidic Devices “.
In this Workshop, we will focus on COMSOL’s Microfluidics Module
which encompasses easy-to-use tools for the study of microfluidic
devices. Important applications include simulations of lab-on-a-chip
devices, digital microfluidics, electrokinetic and magnetokinetic
devices, inkjets, and micro-pumps.
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the UK Climate Change Act: a UK Perspective
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the largest emissions cap-and-trade scheme in the world, commenced on January 1, 2005. In addition, the United Kingdom's Climate Change Act 2008 has established the world's first legally binding emissions-reduction target, which requires at least an 80% reduction on 1990 emissions levels in the United Kingdom by 2050. The following article gives a brief overview of the EU ETS and of some of the steps being taken to reach the 80% reduction target under the Climate Change Act 2008.
Carbon Capture and Storage - Identified challenges to implementation
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is interesting as a case study of a CO2 mitigation technology that maintains considerable political and fiscal support even though its long-term economic viability is dependent on high carbon prices and even though its implementation will in many cases require that U.S. states and Canadian provinces enact new legislation and regulations. This article considers the current legislative debate in the U.S. and examines the ways in which the absence of federal climate change legislation in the U.S. and Canada affects both the price of carbon and the implementation of carbon abatement technologies. It also identifies regulatory gaps that must be addressed before CCS can be widely implemented.
