PhD projects in computational fracture and computational/theoretical fluids at University of Melbourne
The Australian Mineral Science Research Institute (AMSRI) is a consortium of Australia's best scientists working in minerals industry-related fields. Research activities span the breadth of minerals processing, with major themes of the research being energy efficiency, frugal water use and efficient management of waste. The Mathematics program of AMSRI performs modelling and analysis research across multiple minerals processing areas, including comminution, flotation and waste treatment.
Modelling cracked pipes
Hello all,
i have a proplem in choosing the element type in Ansys when i make a model for a cracked pipe with an internal pressure about 10 bar the material is high density polyethelen
i would be thankful if any person have an answer
Best Regards

Composite Solid
Hi All,
I am analysing a fiber composite solid plate with a large and small holes. The model is meshed with C3D8R elements. The output has U and RF in global CSYS and S, E in local CSYS. I have problem in reading S and E written in local CSYS. I know it is very simple, but I cant able to figure it out. Those who know, how to read the S and E in local CSYS, please help me. Tks in advance for your time and advice.

Temperature Chambers
Temperature Chambers are one of the many types of Environmental Test Chambers that can be used in conjunction with just about any test you perform. There are many types of Environmental Test Chambers available. These include Temperature Humidity Chambers, AGREE Chambers, Thermal Shock Chambers etc.
Can I use Abaqus for a moving mass problem?
Can I use Abaqus for a moving mass problem? I am looking to model a bridge?
Can I use Simulink, ... any comment would be appriciated.
Thanks.
a review of a paper by HD Bui found in the internet !!
dear iMechanica friends
I came across a review of a paper by HD Bui who was somewhere in the internet, and I find it is very interesting. I could even have written this review myself !! I don't think the reviewer exaggerates....

This Blog is for the foundation year projects on mechanical engineering. Students are encouraged to discuss their projects here.
difficulties CONTACT problem with plasticity using ABAQUS FEA code.
Hello everyone:
1. I have built a FEM model 2D plane strain using ABAQUS/Standard (CPE4R) elements,
2. I am modeling the contact between a cylinder and a plate in 2D.
3. The Cylinder material is given is ELASTIC ISOTROPIC material with no plasticit E=310 GPa
4. The plate is with a Ramberg-Osgood plasticity with a Young's modulus E=210 GPa.
5. The mesh at the the contact point is VERY refined element characteristic length is about 1 micron. (My model units are (mm,N,sec)).
