A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of mechanics of
materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful
applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in
Engineering solid mechanics or in Engineering materials. The precise
topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.
Hi,
I have created a substructure in Abaqus. As output, I will like to see the substructure matrices (mass, stiffness and damping matrices). However, I'm only able to write the mass and stiffness matrices to an output file (*.mtx).
Does anyone know how to create an output file including both the mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the substructure? Below, I have shown what I have written in the input file (*.inp).
Thanks in advance,
Mads

Do Eshelby forces exist in elastic structures?
We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/eshelbylikeforce.html
Abstract submission to a technical session entitles "Resin System Technology" at CAMX (Created by SAMPE and ACMA) which will be held on October 13-16, 2014 in Orlando, Florida.
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We have a number of new case studies at www.simpleware.com, which cover recent applications of our 3D image to model software in the fields of Biomedicine and Materials research.

Hi everyone
i'm working on modeling crack in plates and i'm a little confused about correct boundary condition of a single edge crack in a plate under tension! could you please tell me which corner should fixed and which one should defined as a roller???
i also attached a figure.
i tried 2 kind of BC for my problem:
1- node 1: roller (Ux=0) and node 3: fixed (Ux=Uy=0)
2- i only fixed node 2 (Ux=Uy=0)
and the stress intensity factor calculated by these BCs almost the same!!!
