MODELLING OF MODEIII IN ABAQUS
HELLO SIR!
i have modelled MODEIII case in FRACTURE MECHANICS IN abaqus
.
PLEASE TELL ME PINNED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AT WHICH EDGE/FACE WILL BE APPLIED IF I MODEL FULL MODEL FOR OUT OF PLANE SHEAR LOADING,i.e, MODEIIII case
Moving Heat Source in Gmaw
Dear Sir/Madam,
i m quite new wd the ansys and was trying to simulate a problem of moving heat source in GMAW and has to move wd some Heat flux on the plate .how could i model heat distribution of the GMAW and how could i move it wd some velocity..
i hope i m clear,plz help me out.
Thank You,
Amrat Patel

A new Technical Committee on Soft Materials
A growing number of mechanicians are entering the field of soft materials, such as polymers, gels, and tissues. While they interact with researchers in technical societies traditionally identified with the field, they also maintain connection with researchers in applied mechanics.

Hi all,
A new Aeroelasticy course is offered at San Diego State University.
Course Description
VUMAT for Nitinol --- why VUMAT and not UMAT?
Dear all,
I'm new in imechanica. I need some informations about VUMAT for Nitinol. I would like to implement in fortran a subroutine for the behaviour of shape memory alloy.I looked for some subroutines already implemented but they have been developed in the implicit way.
It's true that with the VUMAT(explicit) I could have some problems of stability and convergence.Could someone suggest me any reason to make this model in the VUMAT?I know that in VUMAT I can't redifine the time increment so before running the analysis It's important to pay attention on Dt.
Fracture mechanics
hi all..
i am having one doubt, please help me.
In a isotropic plate, if crack tip is present then to model the crack tip we use quarter point element ( IN ANSYS).
if we wants to model more than one crack tip than ,, ansys will give following error
" Only one stress concentration can be specified per area"
Please let me know what is the procedure to model more than one crack tip.
Thanking you

Yield line theory application to a edge fixed disk by central load
Dear all,
I am trying to apply the Yield line theory to analyze the fracture of a disk by central load, F.
Do anybody know the yield line on the disk? I searched some books to find most references focus on rectangular plate rather than disk.
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
