I was reading this research from A&M Texas on Viagra and Watermelon.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080630165707.htm

I have noticed that it has made the front page news on many newspapers
worldwide in a matter of few days. Maybe we should move to this field,
and because below I find that there are indeed interaction with aorta stiffness and elastic wave reflections.

How to develope a new potential function.

How to develope a new potential function.

For instance, if I want to study a new material system by classical MD, for which the existing potential force fields are not suitable.

I would like to know the standard procedure, how to use the first principle studies/ experimental data and how to select the basic functions...from the experts in this area.

User Element for muscle model, with static condensation

Abaqus User element UEL

Hi all

I am in the process of developing my first user element in Abaqus, and finding it rather difficult.

The
application requires modelling muscle behaviour. Hence a spring model
(linear at this stage) with 3 elements: 2 in series with each other,
and these 2, parallel to the third was implemented.

My problem involves static condensation of the stiffness matrix. (similar to mixed-methods)

Any advice/assistance would be great. Especially with regard to development of the user element in Abaqus.

Term paper writing

Writing!!!!!!!! Writing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nowadays all of the institutions demand “paper” submission; this is a part of the academy. Even in the high school student, they want to submit some writing like coursework writing, for research students, undergraduate students, and post graduate students – all of the students are suffering to submit papers within the time.
