Modeling sandwich composite in ANSYS

Submitted by jigaraero on

Hi, i need help modeling sandwich structure in ANSYS 12.1, i have found some materials online on how to do it? I have tried the basic steps. got some results, but now how do i validate that.   I have experimental data for three point bending. But i want to make sure that what i am doing in ANSYS APDL is darn right. 

inputs are,

3 layers 45/0/45

thickness 0.1/0.365748/0.1   (inch)

material i am using right now are carbon fiber and foam DH100

properties of each layer have been assumed to be isotropic

 carbon fiber weave

Seeking a Postdoctoral position in mechanical and material engineering

Submitted by gayoub on

My name is Georges Ayoub; I am seekinging a postdoctoral research position in mechanical and material engineering. I defended my PHD at the beginning of this academic year (2010/2011) and the examining committee gave me the title of doctor in mechanical engineering with a very honourable mention and with the examining committee praise (they judged my work as an excellent one). I am very motivated to start a Postdoctoral position in January, in the USA.



Cannot see result summary at ansys

Submitted by eziwarman on

Hi, everyone ,,,I am a new user using ansys, i am working with pipe model. I build my pipe with solid 42 and solid 45 and meshing it. However,after running it,  I cant see the result summary at POST1 even in the output window the result showed. Any one have a problem like this? if yes..how to solve it ,,,thanks

USNCCM-11 Minisymposium on Computational Methods for Multiscale and Multiphysics Wave Phenomena

Submitted by stefanogonella on

Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the minisymposium:

Computational Methods for Multiscale and Multiphysics Wave Phenomena

at the upcoming 11th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM-11, http://www.usnccm.org/) to be held on July 25-29, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN.

Postdoc position at MIT available immediately

Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

We have several open postdoc positions, to be filled immediately.



The first project is focused on thermal management. The project involves the computational and theoretical analysis of graphene/graphite-metal nanocomposites and experimental work carried out by other team members. We are looking for a strong person with background in thermal and mechanical properties of materials, preferrably with background in molecular simulation.
