Dear All
I am working on large deformation finite element analysis for my research work. To consider the self-weight I need to calculate the distributed (consistent) mass matrix. So my question that how calculate time (for static analysis time will be representing only load steps) dependent distributed mass matrix in new configurations.
Any comment will be appreciated
Thanks

The Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2010. The position’s primary area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at micrometer length-scales.

Constitutive relations, 2-D vs. 3-D. The starting point for modeling cellular membranes is the constitutive relations in 2-D space. It is important to set up the corresponding equations directly in two dimensions rather than to consider them as an asymptotic limit of three-dimensional relationships, like it is done in the shell theory. The main reason for the direct 2-D relations is that 3-D continuum approaches are not applicable to membranes whose thickness in on the order of magnitude of the dimension of a single molecule.
Hello All
I need to model a material in Abaqus that when I load the piece, the
material behaves with an Elastic modulus and when I unload the piece the
material behaves with a different Elastic modulus but don't recover all
the strain when the stress is released.
Enclosed you can find the behavior that I want to model.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately,
focused on the analysis and development of multifunctional thermal
management structures, by using theoretical and atomistic multiscale
modeling and simulation. This project specifically involves calculations
of thermal and mechanical properties of graphene based metal- and
polymer nanocomposites, with a focus on various aspects such as
interfacial transport properties, tunability, mutability and phonon
engineering. Additional aspects of the project relate to the general
hi all,
i am doing static analysis on a pick and carry crane, i need to find the pin forces. for this i created entity set with the nodes where the forces are to be derived and ran a static analysis in ansys.In order to derive the forces , i first picked the entity set and then applied the nodal loads from the list result options. the result that i got was not fine. it states there was zero forces on the pins, but its not.i need to find the pinforces, so kindly let me know , how to do it.
thanks

Dear All,
I've got to start teaching a masters level programme on nanocomposites, well 7 lectures worth of one anyway. It will serve as an introduction to NCs and briefly review the current stat of the art.
I would like opinions on textbooks to accompany such a module.
Any of you had any good experiences with any particular books ?
Thanks,
Chris
