Molecular Dynamics - Whats going wrong?

Submitted by Aneet on

I have been writing a MATLAB code to reproduce the results of Verlets paper - Computer "experiments" on classical fluids, 1967.

Here is how I go about it:

 

- I initialize all the velocities (uniform distribution about [-1, 1])

- Initialize all positions  (NOT random allocations).

- I use Verlet's algorithm to update the positions.

 

Review of a few "Unified" Viscoplasticity Models (Motivated by solder deformation)

Submitted by yoursdhruly on

I had prepared this document for a class project, the level is introductory and the selection of models is motivated by solder deformation, but I hope it is of some help. I have examined four models, proposed by Hart, Anand, Krempl and Busso. The document has 16 pages.

Thanks,

Derivatives of the invariants of a tensor

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

When you first start learning finite deformation plasticity, you will run into a plastic flow rate that can be derived from a flow potential such that

flow potential can be assumed to have the form 

Multiple interacting three-dimensional flaws in electromagnetothermoelastic coupled multiphase composites by extended hypersing

Submitted by BoJing Zhu on

This work presents extended hypersingular integral equation (E-HIE) method to analyze the multiple interacting three-dimensional mixed-mode flaws problem in electromagnetothermoelastic coupled multiphase composites (EMTE-CMCs) under extended electro-magneto-thermo-elastic coupled loads through intricate theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.

Question: calculate normal to a parabola

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

 

Hello:

I need advice on how to calculate the coordinates of a vector normal to a parabola section. The parabola is defined by 3 points on a plane: (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3). I need to calculate the coordinates of the end point of the normal vector with the starting point (x2,y2) and a precribed magnitude A.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

David.

"Students Turn"

Submitted by Mahdi Kazemzadeh on

Here is a hot topic" Overlaps in our knowledge structures " on iMechanica for all of the students!! This belongs to how students iMechanica can be developed or how students can improve it! Please read the comments and let the others know your ideas about this developements. You will find some suggestions there also. With all students ideas collected, there will be a solution to improve current situation for students section. I can say that page and comments are just for students to say how they like their iMechanica to be.
