how to open 2 .db files in a ANSYS window

hello,

can 2 .db files ,that are already meshed, be opened in a ANSYS window if i do not have input codes?

thank you very much

best regards

hi sirs,

I am looking for some old papers, I need to study these but I couldnt access to them.

any one here can help me, about sending electronic or hard-copy of these(or any of them) papers to me?

1- Tauchert, T.R., Thermal buckling of thick antisymmetric angle-ply laminates,

Journal of Thermal Stresses, 10, 113-124, 1987

2- L.W. Chen, L.Y. Chen, Thermal buckling analysis of composite laminated plates by the finite element method,

Journal of Thermal Stresses, 12, 41-56, 1989

Cohesive zone Examples in ANSYS

If some one can post simple crack propagation examples using ANSYS cohesive zone approach. It will help many readers to formulate their research work further.

Thanks and best regards.

Cohesive laws

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 07/11/2009 - 10:17

Hello,

I have read some literature on cohesive zone modeling for fracture behaviour in composites. I have some doubts. How many cohesive laws are there and how they are categorized? Whether cohesive elements (in FEM) are modeled as continuum or discrete?

Please suggest some good literature on this. Thanks & Regards,

Praveen.
