Dugdale -Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone
Dear sir
I am Ravi dalmeya doing Phd from Indian Institute of Technology,Kanpur (India). I am doing work on adhesive elastic wavy thin film. I have completed 2-D Hertzian contact between cylinder and elastic half space using Abaqus. Now i want to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone and i do not know how to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone.Can you give me some suggestion?
Thanking you
Ravi dalmeya

Looking for postdoctoral position: FEM, ferroelectrics, MEMS, computational electromagnetics.
I am looking for a postdoctoral position. I have expeience in finite element modeling and laboratory measurements of ultrasonic waves in ferroelectric and piezoelectric plates, piezoelectric transducers and actuators, MEMs. Also worked in the field of computational electromagnetics.

Prediction of failure in loaded thin steel plates
Hello everyone,
I am curretly working on predicting the failure in thin loaded plates. The plates are impacted by a hemispherical rigid cylinders at a low speed (4.53 m/s <--> Free fall from 1.05 meter) and are perforated experimentally at their center.
I tried to simulate failure with ls-dyna on a shell based model ( the sheet is very thin : 1 mm thickness Vs 130 x 130 mm ), but it seems that the failure strain measured on the tensile tests is underestimated ( the curves after the begining if necking are false).

We seek advanced and original contributions in fracture research,
interpreted broadly to include new engineering and structural mechanics
treatments of damage development and crack growth, and also large-scale
