My system has 512GB RAM and HARD DISK of 80 GB.Is that is enough? I would like to know the system requirements for installing ANSYS.

Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Bending of Inorganic Electronic Materials on Plastic Substrates

thin film

flexible electronics

In this paper, we report comprehensive experimental and theoretical
studies of bending in structures relevant to inorganic flexible electronics.
Different from previous mechanics models of related systems, our analysis does not
assume the thin film to cover the entire substrate, thereby explicitly
accounting for effects of edges and finite device sizes, both of which play
critically important roles in the mechanics and bending properties. These
thin-film islands give nonuniform stress, with maxima that often appear at the
edges and spatially non-uniform shear and normal stresses along the film/substrate
interface. Although these results are generally applicable to all classes of

Hello - trying AGAIN to get this to post. I'm seeking applicants with computational mechanics background for new work in security applications. Areas include blast, failure, acoustics, and related fields. Security requirements dictate that we must have US citizens for this work - sorry, I know that's restrictive. Please feel free to email me at cipolla [at] wai.com (cipolla[at]wai[dot]com) for inquiries and details.

thermoelasticity

Hi everyone,

Now I am master student in National Taiwan University of Science & Technology (NTUST) in Taipei, Taiwan. I come from Indonesia, this is my second year in Taipei. Since last month, I have conducted research about thermoelasticity using complex variable methods, conformal mapping, and analytical continuation. My adviser is Prof C.K. Chao . Does anyone know him?

I hope can find useful information and get more knowledge from this web. Thank you.

What is the meaning of nonhardening Material

nonhardening material

I am getting confused with a definition of nonhardened Material as I read the book Fracture Mechanics written by T.L. Anderson.

I got two understandings and am not sure which one is right.

1) Material with lower yield strenth, which was not work-hardened.

2) d(stress)/d(strain) = 0 after yielding.

I am looking for basic concepts of numerical methods. I have also an important question: Why numerical methods?

I would be grateful if you could give me a good answer.

Using Rebar layer in ABAQUS

Submitted by mprasat on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 20:20

I am trying to figure out how to place rebars in ABAQUS CAE, basically how can I place rebars in a solid part and also is there a way I can visualize how these layers are placed in my part. Thanks.
