If common block can be used in UMAT for parallel computing
Hello everyone
I wrote some codes with umat recently . They can work well with single CPU. However, the results become very bad for several CPUs.
I define a matrix with COMMON BLOCK and it seems that COMMON BLOCK can not be used for parallel computing. Are there any ways to resolve this problem?
I am not familiar with fortran.Someone told me that the matrix should be defined by MODULE. I don't know about this.
Please give some helps to me
regards,
Wang

Analaytical Model
Hi all,
If an analytical model predicts accurately all stresses, including transverse normal stress across thickness, using constitutive law for the analysis of laminated composite structures, what is the use of this model and where can I apply this model in composite structures and fracture mechanics?. Further this model is amenable to linear/nonlinear finite elements with less degrees of freedom per node (C0 and C1 finite elements are possible).

How to get information of boundary conditions when writing UEL in ABAQUS
Hi all,
I need to get information of boundary conditions for prescribed nodes when writing UEL in ABAQUS. Could anyone tell me how to do that?
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers

Mechanics of Materials by F.P. Beer, E.R. Russell Johnston Jr. and J.T. DeWolf
Mechanics of Materials is the book I used for my undergraduate course in strength of materials and it helped me understand the basics, and hence my selection.
The outline is as follows:
Ch. 1: Introduction - concepts of stress
Ch. 2: Stress and strain - axial loading
Ch. 3: Torsion
Ch. 4: Pure bending
Ch. 5: Analysis and design of beams for bending
Ch. 6: Shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members
Ch. 7: Transformations of stress and strain
Solids Textbooks
The texts from Timoshenko and Landau and Lifschitz are classics. I think learning the physical approach of L&L is particularly valuable. The following sections are available in L&L:
1. Fundamental Equations
2. Equilibrium of Rods and Plates
3. Elastic Waves
4. Thermal Conduction and Viscosity in Solids
Look for insightful physical explanations, and expect to read with a pen and paper at your side, to understand exactly the brilliance behind each statement made.
hi, anyone can help me on application of Boundary condition in 3D Fem
hi i am solving 3D heat diffusion equation could you tell me the process of boundary condition application in the main problem. i want to use mixed boundary condition that is robin boundary condition. how the boundary condition will effect the system stiffness and the mass matrix? or plz tell me some good books' name from where i can get some idea.
plz plz plz
