Internship in Computational Mechanics (plasticity)

Submitted by Shabeer Khan on

Dear Members,

 Hope you will be fine. 

I am student in MSc Computational Mechanics, here in Nantes France. I am looking for an internship  which is compulsory part of master degree. I am interested in materials, processing/modeling and simulation. I would be grateful for your guidance and help.

 Thanks and Regards,

Shabeer khan 

Extended Deadline: XFEM2011 ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Partition of Unity Enrichment and Applications Cardiff, Wales, UK

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on

Dear colleagues,



The deadline for the registration and submission of one page abstracts has been extended to the 21st February 2011.

 

XFEM 2011 is one of the successful series of

ECCOMAS thematic events.

XFEM 2011 is a medium-size conference

with a balanced participation covering both the theoretical aspects of the subject and engineering applications.

Objectives

electrical-thermal modeling in ANSYS

Submitted by behzadhemmati on

 I’m modeling a resistance spot welding process in ANSYS.  as you know in this tpic we are dealing with contact elements. in welding step I’ve  defined ECC & TCC for contact elements and also have updated geometry from squeezing step and cleared loads, however I’venot been able to achive temrature distribution. I use  from plane67 element for a electrical-thermal analysis.

Behaviour of Interface element in delamination analysis

Submitted by vanez on

Good morning,

I'm trying to simulate delamination with interface element, with a traction-jump law.

In order to see the Behaviour of the Interface element before the delamination occur, i introduce one interface element (8 nodes ) between two normal linear elastic solid element (quader with 8 nodes also).

I think the strain in the interface corresponds to the Jump

I have many difficulties:

Plastic Collapse for a pressurised vessel

Submitted by Jad Antonios Jelwan on

Hi there ,

 I'm a researcher from UNSW sydney .

 I'm working on the elastic-plastic-creep based on the exhaution of energy density.

 I've came with a new idea for plastic collapse ,which is based on the exhausion of enrgy .

 The work is not yet publish , because I would like to ask your help here .

 Does anyone know or would like to help me to have an APDL file for plastic collapse analysis in ANSYS

 

Thanks for advance

What do we do?

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Yesterday, as I was waiting for the rain to stop before I could walk home from work, a stranger accosted me in the lobby of the building.  He asked me what I did, to which I replied "Mechanics".  He mulled over the answer for a bit and asked me to be more specific, at which point I said that we were trying to design materials that could guide waves around objects.  He said "Water waves?".  I replied "All types of waves."  Clearly, common words can mean quite different things to different people.

Convergence Analysis of the Wolf Method for Coulombic Interactions

Submitted by arash_yavari on

A rigorous proof for convergence of the Wolf method for calculating electrostatic energy of a periodic lattice is presented. In particular, we show that for an arbitrary lattice of unit cells, the lattice sum obtained via Wolf method converges to the one obtained via Ewald method.
