Hi every one:
I want to know How can I enter prony series for HDPE into Abaques;
Method of calculating of prony series and Experiments to do.

Parabolic distribution of shear stress
Hi all
According to Timoshenko beam theory shear stress is distributed uniformly across the cross-section depth which is contrary to real distribution of shear stress i.e parabolic distribution. I know there is a shear adjusment factor (5/6 for rectangular cross-section) can solve this problem. But I don't know how can I utilize this adjustment factor in the beam formulation to get parabolic distribution.
Could anybody please help me?

Does anyone know which software can plot implicit functions?
I'm new to this web,but I know this is a wonderful forum for reserchers where you can discuss scientific problems with others.(some professors are experts in their fields). I'm now studying anisotropic yield criteria,so I need a graph software which can plot implicit funtions (such as ellipse in the form of x^2-x*y+y^2=1) as well as experimental data.
I know Graph can plot implicit funtions,but the quality of its graph is not good enough.Anyone knows other softwares please give me some advice,thanks in advance.

Some questions about wave propagation
Dear Sir，
As we know, periodic signals are best analysed in the frequency domain while stochastic signals are usually more profitably analysed in the time domain. The analysis in the frequency domain usually concern only one signal while in the time domain often involves the comparison of several different signals.
1) what are the general methods for transforming the frequency domain into time domain, and which should be superior?
Regarding LAMMPS
Is there anyone using LAMMPS for nano-mechanics? or for dislocation analysis?
I would like to discuss few things.
A Problem in Nature Of XFEM Approximation
There is a basic problem in NATURE of approximation of discontinuity in element using XFEM.I tried to illustrate that below:
for example, If you consider an element with strong discontinuity( like fracture or contact) which usually we use heaviside function as enrichment function. we expect two parts of element deform independently because of nature of problem.
In equation for approximation of this element we have two main parts. First is 'regular' or 'standard' part which uses the standard shape functions of element and Second is the enriched part.
