Fracture in Composite/Aluminium Joints of Variable Adhesive Properties

Submitted by MKB on

Hello everyone,

 

One of the papers from the 'past' (but still quite actual...I think) and maybe of some interest to various communities. 

 

Abstract:

A system in which one adherend had two types of surface treatment was tested using a wedge test.

Simple polishing and polishing with subsequent sandblasting were the

treatments used, with a distinct straight line, perpendicular to the sample edges,

separating the two. Despite the clear-cut difference in surface treatment, smooth

ME/PhD Positions open:   Fracture Simulation for Visual Effects

High speed simulations of the fracture of wood, glass, concrete, brick walls, and many other materials are used every day in the visual
effects industry. The project team will develop the next generation of fracture effects technology, bringing visual effects fracturing to the next level through novel computational methods in conjunction with realistic material models for deformation and fracture.

recent achievements and research activities made in this area.

Managing Risk

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Managing risk can be effectively done with the right software tools. Specifically with enterprise risk management software tools. In mechanical engineering projects, managing such risk is paramount to success and meeting deadlines. Most mechanical engineering students will not study such processes, but in having knowledge of managing risk, you will put yourself on a higher pedestal.

FGM modeling

Submitted by Bensalah cherif on

Hellow

 I am a graduate student on mechanic and I am working on the vibration
of FGM plate.

I try to model the FGM plate with Abaqus, so I need to use the UMAT
Subroutine 

I don’t have big knowledge about Subroutine under Abaqus 

Especially FGM materials

I’ll be thankful if some people give some guide lines about this problem.
