Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your notice the mini-symposium on "Emerging computational methods for transient non-linear problems with multiple temporal scales" at the 11th US National Congress on Computational Mechanics (http://usnccm.org/). The conference will be held at Minneapolis, Minnesota from July 25-29, 2011.
Dear members:
I have some basic question:
What is a homogeneous beam? why do we use homogeneous beam ? what are the characteristics of homogeneous beams?
and Where do we use these beams? and what is beam homogenization ?
I need this paper for reference. But I cannot find the full text. Could anyone, who has a copy of it, send a copy to me? Thanks so much.
does anybody know how to use the material model no:185 in ls dyna for modelling cohesive zone elements for analyzing the crack propagation in a ct specimen made of steel?
Hi my friends,
I want to export both the stresses and the co-ordinates (x,y,z) at the
integration points using Abaqus CAE. I know how to get the stresses at the nodes
(unique nodal ) by using Visulaization module then report then unique nodal. But
when i try to report the stresses at the integration points, i did not find the
co-ordinates at the integration points as one of the output. I find only the
unique nodal.
Thanks alot,
Gamal
I created a 3D model in Ansys, and when I wanted to mesh, I realised that the model was created in the wrong plane: the area I wanted to mesh was in the x-z plane, while the plane82 element I needed to use needs to be in the x-y plane.
Is there a way I can rotate my entire model instead of starting from the beginning?
In addition, how can I create a cylinder with the circle in the x-z plane and its depth in the y direction. Creating circles and cylinder only gives the option to create the circle in the x-y plane.
Thanks
Hi,
I am solving an implicit non-linear problem in LS-DYNA. I was not able to achieve convergence. I changed the default displacement andenergy norm (which are 0.001 and 0.01 respectively) to 0.009 and 0.05respectively, the solution converged. My question is, is it advisable to changethe default norms to achieve convergence?
We have carried out systematic experimental tests to evaluate the bonding strength and fracture toughness of adhesive joints. Our work has been published in Journal of Adhesion as one among the collection of papers honoring Prof. David Dillard for receiving the Adhesion Society Award for Excellence in Adhesion Science sponsored by 3M.
Madam,
I want to make a simple composite structures of concrete embedded steel in abaqus. (If I am wrong kindly say) I have creted a "dependent" instances in the assemble module after doing the mesh. Then I have made the interaction with the step-1 and made a "surface to surface contect (standard)" having the master (concrete) and slave (steel) with contact (friction) property.
