About Intergration Points in Eulerian Element (pls help)

Submitted by sujan on

Hi!

Good Day.

Please note that I am doing Coupled Eulerian lagrangian(CEL) Analysis using ABAQUS. In this technique, mesh is fixed and material will flow through fixed mesh.

 My question is:

1.Are integration points for Eulerian elements are fixed with mesh?

2.If it is fixed, how integration point captured the material behavior (as material is moving through fixed mesh)?

Thanks in advance.

Look forward for your kind reply.

Sincerely-

Sujan.

FREE WEBINAR Food and Drinking Water Contact EU Regulations for Plastic Composites – How to be Prepared

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

There is a new European regulation (10/2011) addressing plastic materials and components intended for food contact. It is important to understand this regulation to ensure compliance, thus protecting your company when it becomes effective. The new regulation applies to all unreinforced and reinforced plastics, including those that are reinforced with glass fibres. This presentation addresses glass reinforced plastics and the necessary changes that you should be aware of. To see more go to www.reinforcedplastics.com

crack-tip stress field

Submitted by s.r.ranganatha on

I am a post graduate student in mechanical engineering,
as  a part of curriculum  I am doing my thesis  work on fracture mechanics. My thesis title
is “ STUDIES ON CRACK-TIP STRESS FIELDS IN HOMOGENEOUS SOLIDS”.I  have modeled crack-tip using modified
boundary  layer. I have analysed  S22 (tangential stress) for T/σ=0, T/σ=0.34
&  T/σ=+1.my values are matching with
N.P.O’DOWD and C.F.SHIH for T/σ=0 and T/σ=0.34. But for T/σ=+1 the values of
S22 are coming for less than HRR
values.
