Dear all,
I have a problem in model verification for a curved beam model. I have formulated an Euler-Bernoulli beam model similar to the following paper (refered as Pai's model), but employing Euler angle description.

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring your attention to the contest on "Modeling and Simulation of Nano/Microsystems" at the University of Michigan. This is an international competition.
The objective of this contest is to provide publicity and
promotional support to new developments, recent progress, and advances
in the modeling and simulation of Micro/Nanosystems. The emphasis is on
current challenges in understanding of the multi-physics/multi-scale
phenomena that govern such systems functionality.
A postdoctoral research position is available in Dr. Yong Zhu’s lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University. We are looking for a self-motivated researcher to work on projects involving mechanics of nanostructures including nanowires and nanotubes. A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics or a related area is required. Experience with in-situ nanomechanical testing using SEM, TEM, AFM or Raman are desirable.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for three postdoctoral scholar positions in the areas of (1) Cardiovascular Mechanics, (2) Heart Valve Engineering, and (3) Cardiac MRI Imaging. We seek qualified candidates with a strong background in computational modeling either in fluid or solid mechanics, strong programming background with application in MRI/Ultrasound and/or experimental expertise with heart valves.
Hi all ... I did a simple one element elastic simulation of VUMAT and everything
(force balance) is fine.My aim is to change
young's modulus during runtime using strain rate data. So i want to
write VUMAT for the elastic model only and plastic model
(Drucker-Prager) and damage models i want to use the inbuilt one. But
when i tried to run *drucker prager along with my VUMAT i got the
following error.
The option *user material,type=mechanical completely
defines the material behavior. It can not be used with an option that

I'm working on fracture mechanics for my undergraduate project. My advisor has asked me to simulate the crack growth in a CT specimen using ABAQUS. When searching for tutorials about XFEM based crack growth, I found these: http://www.matthewpais.com/2d-crack-initiation
Now my problem is that even though I did everything the tutorial asks me to do, when I submit the job, I'm getting a zero element size error. Can Anyone help me with this?
Any kind of help regarding this topic will be high appreciated.
