How Many Friends Is Too Many?
One MySpace exec has even surprised himself by friending a potato. This particular russet has 2,965 friends.

Joint elements in ABAQUS to model discontinuity in rock
Hi
I am trying to model a rock mass with few discontinuities in ABAQUS. I have to use "joint elements" (Goodman element or the more recent variations) to model the discontinuity. The element should model a separation in tension and a slipping governing by Coulomb friction. Is there any element in ABAQUS capable of modeling such behaviours? If not how can I add one?
Thanks,
Kazem
Plasticity Model for Autofretage of a Cylinder in ANSYS
Dear All,
I am analyzing a steel pressure vessel with autofretage effect in ANSYS. This effect brings the vessel steel fully plastic in the first load step.After the remval of the load in the second step,a permant strain and residual stress remains in the vessel.The residual stress develops compressive stress in the vessel.
The Industry's First Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf MEMS Microhotplate For Chemical Sensors Applications
Laguna Beach, CA June 23, 2008 -- Kebaili Corporation a leading California based high-tech company in MEMS and nanotechnology, announced today the release of the KMHP-100 Series, the industry’s first commercially available off-the-shelf MEMS microhotplates for researchers and scientists in innovative chemical sensor research and development applications.
SIF in ANSYS
To calculate stress intensity factor ANSYS have two option:
1. Plane stress
2. Plane Strain
In a completely 3D problem, How can I use ANSYS to calculate stress intensity factor with out using J integral?
Need tutorials and macros related to piezoelectricity using ANSYS
Hi,
I recently started working with piezoelectricity using ANSYS. Can anybody suggest me some tutorials and macros for ANSYS-piezoelectricity.
