Modeling grain boundaries using FEM (Abaqus)
Hi,
I would like to model a microstructure using Abaqus. My question is how to deal with the grain boundaries ? Should I use cohesive elements ? Any ideas on modeling grain boundaries using FEM will be very helpfull.
Thanks,
Ayoub
Modelling inclusion (second phase particles) by Ansys
Hi all
I am phd student and working on aluminium alloy 2214. i wanted to know if anyone here has experience of FE modelling of inclusions present in alloys by Ansys? i have characterized my material n i know inclusion distribution n size. can anyone help me in this regard?
Merci en avance
The 8th International Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN2011 will take place in Leuven from 4 to 6 July 2011
The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.
More details are available from the website http://www.eurodyn2011.org
writing input file in ansys workbench
i m doing a project on vibrational analysis of ball bearing. i have made model in ansys workbench design modeler. now i want to do the analysis in ansys multiphysics. so i opened the model in simulation window of ansys workbench and meshed the model. then i clicked on the solution tab in environment and then written the ansys input file. i have not applied the forces and boundary conditions in workbench because the force is point load . i want to apply that in ansys multiphysics.
Symposium on Multi-physics of Materials and Interfaces @ USNCTAM 2010
Dear Colleagues:
As a part of the 16th US National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics conference (from June 27 to July 2, 2010 at Penn State University), we are organizing a symposium on the multi-physics, or the coupling among physical domains (thermal, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, optical, chemical to name a few).
A Geometric Theory of Thermal Stresses
In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of thermal stresses.
Given a temperature distribution, we associate a Riemannian
material manifold to the body, with a metric that explicitly
depends on the temperature distribution. A change of temperature
corresponds to a change of the material metric. In this sense, a
temperature change is a concrete example of the so-called
referential evolutions. We also make a concrete connection between
our geometric point of view and the multiplicative decomposition
