Imposing strain
I would like to simulate the response of a metal to a slow strain rate test. So I need to impose the strain.
It is possible to impose strain with abaqus or can we just apply load?
Thank you

Composite Modelling in Abaqus
Hello,
Pardon my basic question. I need to model a carbon fibre sheet using Abaqus 6.7. I cannot seem to get the composite layup tool to work properly and I do not know how to define the material properties for carbon fibre. Are there any good online turorials I can use to do this? My part will be 8-ply, 125mm square, ~1mm thinck. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler
Ph.D. Candidate Position Available at the University of Waterloo
This is a fully funded research project at the University of Waterloo, Canada. The objective is to construct a PECVD and a UV cure chambers for porous dielectric thin film depositions. In addition to building chambers, the candidate will conduct experiments in thin film fracture and small scale deformation. Please email your CV to tttsui [at] uwaterloo.ca

Professor Shih receives Honorary Degree from Brown University
Brown University announced on May 6th 2008 that NUS president Shih Choon Fong is one of the seven honorary degree recipients in this year's commencement. The announcement reads as follows:
Can the arc-length algorithm for simulating the plastic collapse of solid structures converge using ANSYS ?
For complex composite structures, I have never succeeded in finding the parameter configuration which can reach the convergence using ANSYS. Who can give me some instruction?
Problems of researchers in third world and how IMECHANICA can help them (it is not money).
many researchers in industrial countries think the only problem of third world researchers is money but it is not true. I worked as a researcher for four years in one of this third world countries.
Computational and Theoretical research dont need much money as like as lab dependent research. because freeware and opensource became popular and (the copyright laws are not strict in these countries unfortunately).many experimental works also can be done with available facilities in these universities.
