Hi everybody,
I am anurag working on damage mechanics of 2x2 twill woven composite, i will conduct the carbon/epoxy laminates under various regimes of service loas (quasi static loading, low velocity impact, fatugue, post impact) and will also model crack propogation of the same using XFEM.I have studied FEM at graduate level.
Initially i will calculate mechanical properties of woven composite using unit cell method by applying homogenization process.

First of all, I would like to thank you all for the response. I apologize for the much delayed reply.
In what follows, I will list a few references about
dynamic behaviors of materials at large and the testing techniques. Of
course I will definitely omit some important books or papers since after
all I am more a materials scientist. Therefore, if you know of know of
any good references, please let us know.
The final phase of The 1st Y.C. Fung Student Paper Competition on Biomechanics, Biophysics, and Biomatreriomics was held at Northeastern University, Boston, on June 3rd, 2011.
Seven finalists have participated the oral presentation, and they are:

During the Acta Astronautica Editorial Board held at the 61st IAC, Prague September 2010, Editor-in-Chief Rupert Gerzer announced that due to his steadily and steeply increasing work load at the DLR, he felt it best to turn the reins of Editor-in-Chief over to the very qualified and able (Rock) Jeng-Shing Chern who has served as Comission IV Editor since 2008.

Hello all,
I am trying to model concrete as an elastic material in ABAQUS. The model can be any simple structure (cube, beam or column) but the main feature is that concrete behaviour is elastic up to a limiting strain (St. Venant's theory). Which of the Failure criteria in ABAQUS i should be using (Elasticity or brittle cracking)? if neither would you mind explaining other options?
Thanks
Hussam
Hi all,
I 'd like to ask whether anyone has applied XFEM for a user-material (UMAT). What is the process to do that? Could anyone provide some advice, documentation or guidelines?
All the best,
Panos
p.s. I 've heard that a UEL code is needed to couple XFEM with UMAT.
