An article on tenure-track

Stop Trying To Get Tenure and Start Trying To Enjoy Yourself

One of my junior colleagues forwarded the above article to me, and I read with interest. I think it could also resonate the interest of many people here in iMechanica. I welcome your comments, especially from our been-there done-that tenured colleagues.

Nominal stress Vs Nominal strain plot in FE simulations

Submitted by Gouse on

Hi all,

 I want to plot nominal stress Vs nominal strain plot from my FEA simulation. In generally I will get stress and strain at element level, now how can I plot stress-strain for the overall struture. I am applying uniaxual load on specimen. My analysis is non-linear.

Thank you

Regards

Gouse

How about COSMOL in multiphysics (FEA + circuit co-simulation)?

Submitted by Tang Lihua on

Hi, all

Is there any guy try to do system-level simulation combining FEA and circuit analysis in any multi-physics softwares? I want to simulate the energy harvesting from piezoelectric material, through some diodes and into capacitor. Abaqus only can give voltage. Ansys has some electric elements but some non-linear element such as diode is not compatible with piezoelectric element. Any body know about whether COSMOL can do this simulation job? 

Thanks, 

Energy Balance while doing impact analysis

Submitted by Raghunandan on

I am doing an impact analysis in LS-Dyna . When I include failure strain data  I am not able to get the energy balance in GLSTAT . So I tracked it using MATSUM . But there is huge difference in the energy input and energy output. SO I ran the same without failurestrains. Here I got the energy balance. Can somebody let me know whether there is some issue in my postprocessing the results while using failure strain?
