ANSYS crack propagation(growth) under cycle load simulation.

Submitted by Leem SangHyuck on

I want to simulate the crack growth under cycle load through ANSYS

I have thought two way to simulate it, first way is cohesive model(debonding)

second way is remesh(rezone at certain load step), this way is important for me, since this method mapsolves the new mesh into the old mesh, so the plastic strain information near crack tip element could transfer to new mesh.

I need a example file(code-command file of ansys) or comment

POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University

The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks highly qualified applicants for a post-doctoral research position in experimental mechanics.  The successful candidate will participate in a project to make ultra-high-temperature calorimetry measurements on nanoscale quantities of materials. This apparatus will be used to study phase transformations in complex ternary and quaternary materials systems.

Qualifications:

New iMechanica member

Dear colleagues,

First time in iMechanica. As a presentation, I am a researcher interested in Fluids and Solids Mechanics. My approach to research involves an interplay between experimental, theoretical and numerical modeling techniques. My principal research areas might be categorized as: Fluid-Structure-Thermal Interaction, Aeroelasticity, Material Resistance, Rotating flows, Mechanical Instabilities.

room acoustic

Submitted by avicina on

Hi

If I have a 3d rectangular room,  and I want to model 1/2 of that room because of symmetry boundary condition. in acousticFEM problem, what is my symmetry boundary condition in symmetry plane?

 

I mean at seymmetry plane which kind of constraint I should apply on pressure of the sound wave?

 

thanks alot

 

Any tips/comments regarding the latest version of the C++ library: Eigen (v. 3.0)?

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

Hi all,

1. A new version of Eigen (v 3.0 now) is out (on March 23, 2011), and it seems promising. First, a few links:

The main page for the project is here: [^]. The page for v.3.0 is here: [^]. It seems to be very fast: [^].

Solid Mechanics Postdoctoral Position

Submitted by kkparker on

The Disease Biophysics group has a postdoctoral position open for an engineering PhD with a background in modeling soft materials. Our group's website is www.dbg.seas.harvard.edu. The candidate should send a single PDF with a cover letter, resume, and examples of three publications directly to Professor Parker.

Convergence Problem using Biphasic Material to model hip joint in Abaqus

Submitted by Leviathan2010 on

Dear All,

i am new to this forum and would like say hello to everybody!

I am currently working on a hip joint model consistent mainly
of the cartilogenous tissues. Biphasic Materials consitent of
a linear elastic Matrix and trapped fluid, which i modelled in
abaqus using Soil Mechanics (permeability).

At the moment, however, i am unable to obtain convergence. The
whole calculation stops at ca 0.122 sec out of total 1 sec. I
guess its just one parameter set wrong in Contact or an convergence

Can we input PET material properties directly in Abaqus 6.9

Submitted by manivannan on

I am a master student doing research on cohesive zone modeling of polymer coated steel.. I use abaqus 6.9 for my simulation.. I have three questions on cohesive zone modelling..

1. Can we input PET material properties directly in Abaqus 6.9

2. Can we input PVC material properties directly in Abaqus 6.9

3. I am using Standard abaqus cohesive Zone models embedded in abaqus standard pack. Is that right approach ?

Please clarify.. This would be life saving help..

Sincerely,

Manivannan..!!
