Dear Imechanica Members,
I am looking for a reference where the concept and definition of Representative Volume Element as the fundamental consitutent of Continuum Mechanics was originally introduced.
Thanks in advanced for yoyr help.

hi i am doing my PG project on plate buckling analysis using abaqus but i struck in initial stage.. to do so please help me...
As we know how to define the interface type is a key problem in ABAQUS.
But when the interface is not regular, can we find a convenient way to realize it?
The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman,
is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing
high-quality research on reliability-based design optimization. The research, supported
by NSF and others, entails developing new theory and efficient algorithms for stochastic
computing and design optimization. A solid background in mechanics and elementary
numerical analysis is a must; some exposure to uncertainty and probabilistic methods is
desirable.
Dear Friends.
I am trying to model a moving truck on a bridge . Initially I want to try doing a static analysis. For this , I have modeled tyres as analytically rigid cylinders and, placing them on the solid slab element . After this i have applied a velocity boundary condition to the rigid cylinder , and also a load ( Pointing in the direction of gravity) to the reference point .
The new feature of XFEM was added to the ABAQUS6.9-2. Does anybody
know how can I extract the current configuration of crack in terms of distance
values from nodes? I know that PHILSM provides information on this issue, but
it is only about crack plane. I want nodal distance from crack front
Dear All,I have written a finite element code in C++. The results have generally high accuracy. But when I change the order of evaluating r and theta of the polar coordinates in terms of x and y in the sub-program of computing the shape functions, then the results are changed about 10^-9 of the initial results. The change is negligible but I wonder why this happens? I had initially supposed it may be related to some memory linkage in the program but since now I have not been successful to find any. Is there any one to have an idea about this funny error???
