hi sirs,

I am looking for some old papers, I need to study these but I couldnt access to them.

any one here can help me,  about sending electronic or hard-copy of these(or any of them)  papers to me?

1- Tauchert, T.R., Thermal buckling of thick antisymmetric angle-ply laminates,

Journal of  Thermal Stresses, 10, 113-124, 1987



2- L.W. Chen, L.Y. Chen, Thermal buckling analysis of composite laminated plates by the finite element method,

Journal of Thermal Stresses, 12, 41-56, 1989

Cohesive laws

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Hello,

I have read some literature on cohesive zone modeling for fracture behaviour in composites. I have some doubts. How many cohesive laws are there and how they are categorized? Whether cohesive elements (in FEM) are modeled as continuum or discrete?

Please suggest some good literature on this. Thanks & Regards,

Praveen.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Mechanics

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Duke Computational Mechanics Laboratory, beginning in September of 2009 (with flexibility on timing).  Funding for the fellowship concerns research in the simulation of large-scale fragmentation phenomena.  The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following areas:

mesh refinement in ansys

Submitted by abeed on

 

how to refine those hot spots (heigh stress zones) in a meshed
structure using ansys. in fact i have a large body. most of body
subject to very low (negligible or zeor stresses) except few zones with
very much high stress. first i meshed my body with coarse mesh and i
noticed those area which i expect them from experimental results now
how can i refine meshes on basis of von mises stress range.

 

can one do it with 'select entities'and how?
