Free Vibrations of Nonuniform Timoshenko Beams II
This post contains the equations of nonuniform Timoshenko beam theory, a seconf order finite difference method for the solution of the free vibrations thereof and a Scilab computer program implementation. The implementation also allows for the calculation of static deflection for a user specified load distribution that can also contain point loads. A number of static and free vibration examples are given.
I hope this can be useful to students and others.
VUMAT subroutine for kevlar in abaqus
Hi guys, i am new to abaqus, just 6 months using it.
Does anyone have a idea on how to define property for kevlar fabric in VUMAT subroutine?
My study is on ballistic impact on soft body armour. I am modelling 9mm FMJ bullet (cooper jacket with lead core) and fabric type choosen is woven fabric which is Kevlar.
Happy New Year 2012 from Cardiff/ECCM 2012/XFEM 2013 ECCOMAS Thematic Conference
Dear imechanicians,
I would like to wish
you a Happy New Year 2012 (Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 2012), and hope
that it will bring you what you seek in life.
The best wishes from our
institute (iMAM) in Cardiff are attached.
In the attachment, you will
find information about the next ECCOMAS Conference on the
extended finite element method (XFEM 2013) and details on the
activities of our institute in 2011.
Finally, I would like to let
you know that our institute is co-organising the following
Short Review of Approaches in Multiphase Flow, Advantages & Disadvantages
Hi,
I need some information about available approaches in multiphase flow analysis. What is need is a SHORT, QUICK review, paper, ... listing the giving information about different approaches and pros and cons of each approach and their application limitations.
There are many online resiurces available, but they are usually in form of thesis, too lengthy and detailed for my purpose at the moment.
Any suggestion is appreciated...
Thanks,
Hossein
