Please give me some insight to develop crack bridging user element in Abaqus

Submitted by Dhaneshwar Mishra on

Dear all

 I am trying to model damage at the interface of Dentine and enamel. AS the property of dentine material crack grown in the area of Dentine Enamel Junction(DEJ), when comes to dentine region,it start arresting due to prescence of collagen and mineral fibers in the dentine composite. I am trying to simulate that crack arresting property by modelling the DEJ region with user element facility in abaqus with crack arresting or crack healing capabilities.

Can some body help me in this regard ?

remove order in piezoelectric matrix

Submitted by helencpennater… on

I'm working in a iterative method with piezoelectric composites. During the implementation (in MATLAB) I work with the piezolectric components in a single matrix, reduced to a vector by the Hill algebra. However, I'm having problems because of the different orders of the components values. I know there is a way to normalize all the values, but it can't be by dividing the whole matrix by the same number, so, if anybody can help me I will appreceite it. You answer here or write me to naecita [at] gmail.com

How to add a picture in my program?

Submitted by Maryam K. Shahi on

Hi every body,

I write a program which draws the shear and bending moment diagrams of a simple beam on matlab.inputs are loads(couples,forces,constant distributed forces and and linear distributed forces) and outputs are shear diagram and bending moment diagram. I want to add free body diagram of the beam too,but i don't know how can I do it,Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

tnx

3rd Southern California Symposium on Flow Physics - Saturday, April 18 2009 - UC San Diego

Submitted by elauga on
We are pleased to announce the 3rd Southern California Symposium on Flow Physics - or "SoCal Fluids III" - which will take place on the campus of UC San Diego on Saturday, April 18, 2009. The 1st symposium was held in 2007 at Caltech (with 85 participants), and in 2008 at UCLA (with 92 participants). During this one-day exchange of ideas in an informal and collaborative atmosphere, we are inviting postdocs and graduate students to give short APS-style presentations on their research.  All faculty and undergraduate students are also highly encouraged to attend.
