Submitted by shaofanli on

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at UC Berkeley. The research project is about developing a commercial software or a Meshfree Module for one of the widely used commercial FEM codes.

Submitted by jenda_z on

Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 22-26 September 2008. 
More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2008.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

Lecture notes on "Elasticity" and "Statistical Mechanics"

Perhaps it could be useful to you.

Young Modulus versus temperature

Submitted by Martin Della Torre on

Hi.

This is a material's problem.

I'm trying to simulate in FEA (Ansys) a part of a rectangular duct. this duct works with a flue gases qith elevated temparature (aporx 300°C).

Does anyone knows any standard (ASTM or similar) or any bibliography who gives data in form of tables or graphics that shows the variation of young modulus against temperature variation for materials?

 

Thanks

Martin

application of cohesive element to concrete cracks in Abaqus

Submitted by Chris Yang on

Hi everybody!

I am now using Abaqus to model concrete cracks by using cohesive element and I have got two questions regarding this:

1. cohesive element, as known, is often employed to model interface especially when the integrity and strength of the interface is of interest. For my problem, there is no real interface, however, I impose a cohesive element interface artificially in the concrete and to see the crack propagation. Is this applicable theoretically?
