Hello
I wonder if some one helps me in applying shear on a surface of a cube. Do we have to apply it on two opposite surfaces. or I can fix one surface?
Thanks
The 8th International Conference on Fracture of Polymers, Composites and Adhesives is organised by the European Structural Integrity Society- Technical Committee 4 on Fracture Mechanics related to Polymers, Polymeric Composites and Adhesives.
It will take place between 10-14 September 2017 at Les Diablerets, in Switzerland. You can register now at http://www.esistc4conference.com/conference-register.asp
I've been exploring the possibility of frontend development for engineering simulations in Javascript. Following on from the previous post on generating VTK XML particle data output files from our simulation, her's a new post on reading in those files in Javascript. See my article at http://www.parresianz.com/javascript/typescript/vue/vuex/xml/reading-vtk-particles/.

Maybe the following open access article in Materials 2017, 10(1), 88 is of interest to modellers wanting to use experimental microstructures in their simulations:

We present a systematic approach to deal with the modelling and analysis of the cracked rotating shafts behaviour. We begin by revisiting the problem of modelling the breathing mechanism of the crack. Here we consider an original approach based on the form we give to the energy of the system and then identify the mechanism parameters using 3D computations with unilateral contact conditions on the crack lips. A dimensionless flexibility is identified which makes the application of the approach to similar problems straightforward.
