the DEM's solutions for static mechanics seem strange

Submitted by xiashengxu on

My own DEM(Discrete Element Method) program's solution for static problem seems strange.

I use my program to calculate the displacement of a cantilever under static pressure:

1. it seems my program shows convergence for static problem as the mesh gets denser. As the mesh grows denser(that means the particle becomes smaller), the displacement(of y direction)  of the free tip becomes smaller.

structural truck body design

Submitted by golnaz baradaran on



Hello,



I have to design the body of a truck. I need some documents such as standards, practical recommendations, papers that could help me for the calculation of different type of loads applied to the structure of the body. This could be wind, gravity, acceleration, etc. Could you please help me by giving some information.



Thanks in advance,

Goli

Seeking Summer Internship Opportunity

Submitted by J. K. Phadikar on

I am a third year undergraduate student of IIT Kharagpur (www.iitkgp.ernet.in). In the coming summer, we are supposed to do summer training in some industry in, or out of India, whereas if we want to do internship in a university it must be a foreign university (internship in Indian universities is not allowed).
