The Virtual Conference on Nanoscale Science and Technology (VCNST) is in fact so much more than just another conference. We have an opportunity together to be explorers as we enter a new era of sharing and dialoguing about science.

List of conferences in contact mechanics and related fields

Submitted by Edwin Vollebregt on

Dear all,

 At our website we maintain a list of upcoming conferences on contact mechanics and related fields, e.g. solid mechanics, tribology, railway vehicle dynamics, etc.

Which conferences and other events do you attend? Send me a note and I'll add them to the list.

Best wishes,

Molecular Dynamics from Solid Mechanics Point of View

Submitted by saurabhdixit1987 on

I am searching for a tutorial or a book which looks into molecular dynamics method from a Solid Mechanics point of view. All I can find are the books written for biophysicists or chemistry. I can find lot of examples on fluids, biomolecules or polymers but none of them are on simple solids or metals.

Can anyone suggests me a book or a tutorial which can get me ready to write a program to simulate a simple tensile test of a metal wire (FCC Al or some simple crystal).

 

UEL ABAQUS Subroutine

Submitted by aida on

Hi,

I'm stucking with my subroutine. May ask anybody to have a look the the file. 

I run a simple model that and try to run it,but an error message was appeared as below;   ***ERROR: USER SUBROUTINE UEL MISSING

 

I don't know what is the problem. I did locate the input (.inp) and user (.f) in the same folder and run it (abaqus job=.... user= ...ff int )

 

Hope to get help from anybody...

Dugdale -Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone

Submitted by rdalmeya on

Dear sir

        I am Ravi dalmeya doing Phd from Indian Institute of Technology,Kanpur (India). I am doing work on adhesive elastic wavy  thin film. I have completed 2-D Hertzian contact between cylinder and elastic half space using Abaqus. Now i want to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone and i do not know  how to apply  Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone.Can you give me some suggestion?



Thanking you
