Stress-induced phase transformation and pseudo-elastic/pseudo-plastic recovery in intermetallic Ni–Al nanowires
Dear friends,
I want to share our recent research work on NiAl nanowire, which is published in Nanotechnology, IOP publishing. The abstract of the paper is given below. Further details can be found at "Vijay Kumar Sutrakar et al 2009 Nanotechnology 20 295705 (9pp) doi: 10.1088/0957-4484/20/29/295705"
Modelling Impact on ANSYS-AUTODYN OR ANSYS-LS-DYNA
I have one very simple question regarding ANSYS-AUTODYN and LS-DYNA. It seems that both can model impact loads.
My
questions is which can model low-velocity impacts and which can model
high-velocity impacts. I have some troubles modelling low-velocity
impacts in autodyn (changing the mass of the projectile does not affect
the pressure and the stresses on the target. Does this mean autodyn
only models high-velocity impacts)
Large deformation and electrochemistry of polyelectrolyte gels
Immersed in an ionic solution, a network of polyelectrolyte polymers imbibes the solution and swells, resulting in a polyelectrolyte gel. The swelling is reversible, and is regulated by ionic concentrations, mechanical forces, and electric potentials. This paper develops a field theory to couple large deformation and electrochemistry. A specific material model is described, including the effects of stretching the network, mixing the polymers with the solvent and ions, and polarizing the gel.
Some problem concerning the position of increment in ABAQUS subroutines.
Dear all,
I have a puzzling question.
As we know, the positions of a increment in a FEM analysis ( in abaqus) include :
1. the start of the increment 2. the end of the increment 3. the current increment etc
It is easily understood. But the data transfer process in different subroutines have me puzzled.
For example: Subroutines of ABAQUS

Periodic Boundary Conditions for uniaxial compression
Dear All,
I am trying to simulate mechanical behaviour of a concrete unit cell for uniaxial compression laoding. I have apllied periodic bounadary conditions on both lateral edges using linear equation option available in ABAQUS where as on top and bottom edges load is apllied. Deformed structure shows there is no lateral deformation and unit cell behaves as if it is confined laterally on both sides. I am confused about my boundary conditions whether they are correct or not.
Equation used to aplly periodic bounadary condition are
