Dear Colleagues:

I am very happy to let you know that our innovation of material like snail shell has been selected to be presented at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai at Youth Innovation Center (中国2010年上海世博会全球青年创新之旅).

 

Free Folding of Suspended Graphene Sheets by Random Mechanical Stimulation

Submitted by Jianliang Xiao on

Graphene edges, analogous to the structure of nanotubes, can significantly influence the overall electronic and magnetic properties of graphene nanostructures, and thus have become important issues in graphene research, especially for electronic applications. In this recent paper published on PRL, we reported that the free folding of suspended graphene sheets by random mechanical stimulation has preferred folding directions.

2D Finite Element Mesh : Plate with a Hole/ Flow over cylinder for higher p order ( p- refinement )

Submitted by pradeepvv82 on

 

Hi,

 

I am looking for a code that generates a 2D mesh with higher order p (say p=  5, 6, ..) for plate with a hole problem (or) flow over cylinder.

If any one has any info that would be great !!

 

Regards,

Venkat

Phanish Suryanarayana, from the California Institute of Technology, is the 2010 Melosh Medalist for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis.  Phanish won for his paper titled "Non-periodic Finite-Element and Mesh-Free Formulation of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory".  He presented the paper on Friday, April 30, 2010, on the campus of Duke University.  

Please join me in congratulating Phanish!  

generalized plane strain, ansys

Submitted by agg E.kalimeris on

 Hi

I am doing a simulation using Ansys . I use finite element plane 183 with the generalized plane strain option. The problem is that i am doing something wrong and this option dosn't work .Does anybody knows where i can find an example using generalized plane strain option .I have read the mannual and the example 38 in verification mannual but it did not helped
