Submitted by David Rawlins on

We are excited to announce the arrival of version 1.5 of FEBio (Finite Elements for Biomechanics). This new version can be downloaded at http://mrl.sci.utah.edu/software/febio. FEBio is an open-source finite element package, specifically designed for solving problems in the field of computational biomechanics. This new version includes some major changes and contains a number of new and exciting features. Some of the noteworthy changes and additions are listed below.



Indo-Danish Bilateral Workshop on “Future Composite Technologies for Wind Turbine Blades” October 8-9, 2012 at IIT DELHI

Submitted by rtdp1975 on

An Indo-Danish bilateral workshop on “Future Composite Technologies for Wind Turbine Blades” was jointly organized by the Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark and Applied Mechanics Department, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India. We think this is an exciting Workshop covering several research topics relates to wind turbine blades – design and manufacturing, new computational methods, processing and materials characterization techniques.

ansys mechanical apdl on non linear material model

Submitted by preet on

hi....i m working on ansys(mehanical apdl).....here i m doing non linear material model analysis of a two panel slab....i have chosen material model 1 as multilinear elastic and entered the graph in that and took material no.2 for steel with EX=2E8,PR=.33....units are in SI.....NOW I m getting the warning as"For material 1 at temperature 0 has a tangent slope of its stress strain curve <75000> greater than EX <6.0134717-154>..............can anyone suggest some solution for this....

Complex interplay of nonlinear processes in dielectric elastomers.

Submitted by Jian ZHU on

A combination of experiment and theory shows that dielectric elastomers exhibit complex interplay of nonlinear processes. Membranes of a dielectric elastomer are prepared in various states of prestretches by using rigid clamps and mechanical forces.

thermal ratchetting with abaqus

Submitted by s_h on

i am working to thermal ratchetting preaaure vesseles and pipes

and I'm doing with the software abaqus(combined hardening model)

but i have problem:

i use 2 step in abaqus

1-general-static for pressure

2-coupled-temp displacement for thermal loading

but when in submit abaqus -i get this eror

combined hardening dont use couled temp-displacement?

what is my problem?????????????
