Commercial use of meshfree methods
can we use mesh-free methods as commercially as finite element methods can be applied.?
I want to develope a software for analysis of 3D frame using meshfree method is it possible?

Gear Box analysis
hi all,
I am doing the FEA on gear box of wind turbine, which is a very complex system.
I want to carry out static and dynamic analysis. I want to consider all the gears in this analysis.
If anyone is having experience in the gearbox analysis, please help me. how to simplify this complex system.
If anyone is having any reference documents please forward to me.
thanks

The Griffith Paper
I wrote these notes on the Griffith (1921) paper for a graduate course on fracture mechanics taught in 2010. The notes were updated when I taught the course in 2014, and were discussed in a new thread titled Inglis (1913) vs. Griffith (1921).

Fracture toughness is equal to fracture energy in LEFM?
Hi,
I am doing some test on the fracture toughness.
I am wondering if in Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, Fracture toughness of the material is equal to fracture energy or not?
Can anybody send me an naswer,
Thank you,

Pyramid elements in ABAQUS
Hi every body,
I need to generate a mesh around the crack front line in 3-dimensional space using a layer of prism (wedge) elements at the crack line and tetrahedron elements at the rest parts of the model. However, to keep the compatibility we also need to adopt a layer of pyramid elements between wedge elements and the tetrahedrons. Dose any body know how can I do that in ABAQUS? Is pyramid element available in ABAQUS's element library or is there any chance to get that through degenerating another element type? if so, how?
Metal Infused Cellular Materials
Any suggestions regarding papers on metal-infused cellular materials? E.g., aluminum or aluminum metal-matrix composite infused into open cell titanium with millimeter scale pores?
