In a recent discussion it was suggested that it would be useful to perform tension tests on collagen fibrils. We have developed a MEMS-based experimental procedure that is capable of applying very large strains to individual collagen fibrils. The attached paper presents illustrative data; an upcoming paper will present much more data that illustrates the rich behavior of these fibrils during loading and unloading tests.
This is the first scientific blog for me in English though I have had three others in Chinese. I hope it's a significant beginning for my new scientific stage! Communication with top scientists and openning my view are both important issues for me in future. To be a useful scientific dog is to do some innovational things!
hello!
Here is a Lectureship in Solid Mechanics available in the Engineering Science Department at Oxford posted by Prof.Alan Cocks.
The mini-symposium focuses on the link between the traditional materials modeling
and computational description of existing and new classes of materials, advanced and composite
materials and their applications. In particular, the mini-symposium is devoted to computational
characterization of material response and processing of material microstructures in the presence
of multiple temporal and spatial scales as well as multiple physical processes, and computational
Hi everybody,
how can I define soil parameters just as cohesion and plasticity stress and strain of soil in "ansys workbench"?
I knew there is "drucker prager" model option in "ansys classic" to define these parameters but I couldn't find any option in "ansys workbench.
hi everybody,
i am working with ansys and trying to madel a composite tube i have chosen element "solid 46" the first problem i faced is in the "material model" "orthotropic material" i am working with 2d composite materials (plane stress) (i have Ex Ey Gxy)
in ansys for an orthotropic material we need to fill also Ez Gxz Gzy wich we dont have in plane stress .
also what system of coordinates should i use cartesian or cylindrical.
and for the mesh is it importsnt the kind of mesh or i can choose betwwn free and mapped.
I am currently working on a project to model DCB test in ABAQUS. My current problem lies in understanding cohesive zone modelling. I was wondering if anyone can forward me a couple of materials regarding the introduction of cohesive zones?
This would help me understand the material greatly and help me in modelling the DCB test.
Another question in ABAQUS: how do you implement the material properties for cohesive elements? in particular, what values should i be using for them? e.g. E, G1, G2?
We are solved analytically and numerically by exact space treatment, proposed for elastic plates by Novatsky, the problems of determination of free vibrations of thin piezoelectric plates and shells frequences and mode comparision with Kirchoff theory, showing that in contrast to pure elastic case, the tables of frequences obtained by space treatment and by hypothesis are quite different. During last eight years you obtained the some results for magnetoelastic and ferromagnetic thin plates and shells, almost for all cases it is shown that Kirchoff hypothesis is not applicable.
