how to apply cyclic loading in ABAQUS (for determing the DEFORMATION MODULUS from PLATE LOADING TEST down a DRILL HOLE
hi to all,
this is srinivas from IITROORKEE presently doing M.Tech in CIVIL Engg .
my project is
determing the deformation modulus using plate loading test down a drill hole.
Problem in Abaqus
Hello
I am trying to learn Abaqus but I am facing some problems. I will be very much grateful if you kindly give the solutions of the following problems.
I want to know,
1. How to assign two different areas on a two dimensional part?
2. How to tie different parts and locate coincident nodes at the boundaries of instances on the assembly?
3. How to merge coincident nodes?
I really want to learn it, please help me.
Thank you.
Earthquake in West China and lessons for us!
In Singapore, I have seen students who lost their relatives in last earthquake. I am very sorry about this, but I think there should be lessons for us in such disasters. Is'nt any cheap and easy way to reinforce building in the face of earthquakes? I hope such disasters make researchers concentrate on such important topics.
I am searching for the paper "Dundurs, J, Elastic interaction of dislocations with inhomogeneities"
i am searching for the paper "Dundurs, J, Elastic interation of dislocations with inhomogeneities, Mathematical theory of dislocations". If you have this paper, please send it me (eng999 [at] hanmail.net (eng999[at]hanmail[dot]net)). I can't find this paper.
Creep and Material Property Correlations
Hey all, I'm looking for a method of determining creep properties of polymer products that is faster than applying a stress to them for an extended period of time. Is anyone aware of any relations between more quickly/easily attainable material properties and creep properties? Or is there any way to simulate an extended life test in a shorter amount of time?
Thanks for you help,

frontal solver
Hi i am asha working for PhD using FEM technique ,i am writing my code in c++ and facing problem in frontal solver in backspacing stage.My pointer do not read the data from begining of the last line.Since one year i am struck-up at this stage.Can you suggest what is equivalent commond od back space in c++.Can you give me coding for frontal solver in C++.
How to use mohr-coulomb criterion to simulate the indentation of BMGs in ABAQUS?
I encounter a big challenge now.
I wanna use mohr-coulomb criterion to simulate the indentation of BMGs in ABAQUS.However, there are many parameters confusing me.
We know the mohr-coulomb can be written as:
τc=k0-ασn
Wikipedia style publication in a categorized manner!
First excuse me for my poor English. Wikipedia-Style Open publish (suggested by Mike Ciavarella) can be a logical solution for many of Current publication and evaluation system problems, currently we utilize popularity for “quality warranty” and “Ranking” of papers and authors. Such factor can be a measure for evaluating the papers and authors in the new style too. The reliability of papers can even increase by this way more, Categorization of scientific papers is one of necessities of today’s scientific network.
