Dear all,

We recently publsihed a study on modeling rapid chloride migration in concrete using the lattice modeling approach. Registered subscribers can view the article at:

We appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Hello everyone

Recently I've modeled 3 different kinds of natural gas burners in ANSYS Fluent (all of them non-premixed). I've used “Species Transport”, “Standard K-Epsilon” & “Eddy Dissipation”; then I ignited the model with “Adapt>Region, 1000Kelvin”. Streamlines are somehow OK, but maximum temperatures are approximately in all models 400 degrees more than experimental data. I asked some scholars and they told me they have same problem. Can anybody guide me to a model with more accurate result?

Hello,

Is there some one who obtained the files of this article 'Toward realization of computaitonal homogenization in practice'. Can you share them? Thank you.

Or is there some one who has the experience on the multiscale homogenization of inelasticity in abaqus.?'

I believe many of us went through that kind of ostracism. Now, I will provide a concrete argument. This is the reply we received when we responded our paper was indeed of interest to the Physics community, which was first raised as an issue by the editor. We provided a very detailed explanation.

So when they run out of valuable arguments, all they can produce is this pathetic statement below.

The question is more fundamental. Why do we, as mechanicians always welcome papers from physicists, while the reciprocal is far from being obvious?

Hi Fellows

Dear all:

I am confused by the "traction free boundry condition". Does that mean the stress on the boundry is zero? But the stress on the boundry is definitly not zero. I don't know how to use this condition. I hope someone can help me. Thanks very much.

Best wishes, 

 Hi,

I just posted the Matlab source code of our new 3D Fast Iterative Digital Volume Correlation (FIDVC) algorithm to our lab website:
