The Institution of Structural Engineers, the world's leading professional body for qualifications and standards in structural engineering, and Elsevier are pleased to announce that Structures, a new peer-reviewed journal covering the full breadth of structural engineering research, is now open for submissions.
I've met some strange problems implementing umat. To speak in short, it's parallel degradation, which means when run in serial mode, everything is OK, there's no failure of equilibirium iteration and therefore no cut back, but when switch to parallel mode, there are random cut backs. I checked the process by outputing results to files and found very bizarre phenomenon, the data changes when transfering from the subroutine called to its caller. For example, if the main program calles sub(a), and in sub a is specified intent(out).
Hi all,
I need help to calculate the deformation of a circular plate(d=200mm and t=10mm) with a hole (d=20mm and t=5mm) at a center. The plate is clamped at its edge and subjected to 275KPa uniformly distributed load at the face without the hole.
I want to study the variation of maximum deformation with the varying depth of the central hole. Any ideas on how I should approach this problem?
I have a question regarding the shape functions. Why the shape function is kept orthogonal to residue in Galerkin method? Looking forward to hearing from you all.
I have a creep strain vs
time graph. How can that be used as input for creep? In defining creep,
abaqus asks for power law multiplier, eq stress order and time order?
how can those be found from creep strain vs time graph?
2 Post-doctoral positions of 1 year duration are available in geomechanics. You can find details on the positions at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/staff/su/vacancies/
Dear all
I want to model 300000 cycles of loading with maximum and minimum value for force as a fatigue loading.I want to model this problem in abaqus and I have several idea for it but not sure about them.would you help me what to do?
many thanks
Structural topology optimization, which aims at placing available material within a prescribed design domain appropriately in order to achieve optimized structural performances, has received considerable research attention since the pioneering work of Bendsoe and Kikuchi. Many approaches have been proposed for structural topology optimization and it now has been extended to a wide range of physical disciplines such as acoustics, electromagnetics and optics.
