Hi all ,
I am simulating Cohesive zone simulation of polymer coated steel using abaqus 6.9 ( Room Temp ). The thickness of steel plate is 0.8mm ( 800 Micrometre). Thickness of PET ( Poly Polyethylene terephthalate ) is 0.03 mm ( 30 micrometre ). Cohesive zone is defined in between these two materials with zero thickness. I use standard traction seperation method embedded in abaqus 6.9. I have the following questions
(a) Regarding material properties,
This is the second call for mini-symposia proposals for the Twelfth Pan
American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XII). The deadline for
proposals is March 30, 2011. Only one week left!
We welcome mini-symposia proposals in any area of Applied Mechanics, as
described in the conference website www.pacamxii.org.
The conference will be held in Port of Spain, Trinidad from January 2 – 6,
2012, in collaboration with the University of the West Indies, St.
Augustine.
Two post-doctoral positions are available in the lab of Sachin Velankar in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on the biomechanics of surface texturing in cephalopods (octopus or cuttlefish), and to devise reversibly-morphing surfaces. These animals are famous for their camouflage abilities. Like many other animals, cephalopods can change their color, but in addition, they can also change the texture of their skin by expressing protuberances or wrinkles.
Hi friends,
I'm going to model a composite plate in ansys but I have few information about it. I need to know the exact procedure of selecting material ID and attributing to lay-ups and also to mesh the domain.This is a 5 layer laminate to analyse uniaxial buckling. I would be thankful for providing me with your friendly notes.
All the best,
I want to simulate the crack growth under cycle load through ANSYS
I have thought two way to simulate it, first way is cohesive model(debonding)
second way is remesh(rezone at certain load step), this way is important for me, since this method mapsolves the new mesh into the old mesh, so the plastic strain information near crack tip element could transfer to new mesh.
I need a example file(code-command file of ansys) or comment
School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks highly qualified applicants for a post-doctoral research position in experimental mechanics. The successful candidate will participate in a project to make ultra-high-temperature calorimetry measurements on nanoscale quantities of materials. This apparatus will be used to study phase transformations in complex ternary and quaternary materials systems.
Qualifications:
Dear colleagues,
First time in iMechanica. As a presentation, I am a researcher interested in Fluids and Solids Mechanics. My approach to research involves an interplay between experimental, theoretical and numerical modeling techniques. My principal research areas might be categorized as: Fluid-Structure-Thermal Interaction, Aeroelasticity, Material Resistance, Rotating flows, Mechanical Instabilities.

Hi
If I have a 3d rectangular room, and I want to model 1/2 of that room because of symmetry boundary condition. in acousticFEM problem, what is my symmetry boundary condition in symmetry plane?
I mean at seymmetry plane which kind of constraint I should apply on pressure of the sound wave?
thanks alot
