One_D groundwater flow equation by Meshfree methods

Submitted by Meenal on

I am a new Ph.D student. I want to solve 1-D transient flow equation with Dirichlet B.C.by meshfree method(Point collocation) with MQ-RBF (q=0.5).I've taken 11 nodes in a domain with 5 nodes in the support domain.How to take 5 nodes for 1st,2nd,10th and 11th node?How shape parameter α(alpha) is to be considered?

A challenge to Mr. Koenemann

Submitted by Chad Landis on

I am sure that several of you have followed Mr. Koenemann's posts with some interests.  For some it might be entertainment, and for others it might be like watching a car wreck.  In any case, several iMechanicians have attempted to convince Falk that his theories do not make sense.  We have all failed miserably at that task.  I am perhaps a bit slower than most, but it is clear to me that Mr. Koenemann will not be convinced by any physical or mathematical arguments.

hi all,

 I am trying do analysis on a beam in ABAQUS which is coated with polymer meaterial and i have to test it in following conditions,

1. Humidity resistance: 50 ° C/85 ± 4% RH for 8 days

2.  Warm salt water: 58 ± 2° C/5% salt-water immersion for 8 days

can anyone tell me how to do this one...

Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian Analysis

Submitted by kunal_mecadcam on

Hi every one,

 I am in my final stage of my dissertation, which is about slamming analysis of boat hulls with help of CEL - in Abaqus. I am currently working in how to validate the results which I got. Is there any way except experimental method to validate the stress - strain results?

Please help me...
