Concrete Modeling
Dear Guys!
I'm looking for a person whom familier with concrete modeling.
is there any one?
Concrete Modeling
Dear Guys!
I'm wanna model the concrete plasticity in abaqus and is it possible to tell me which element type should I use for Concrete modeling?
Regards.
Metal Foam fracture
Dear All
I'm working on studing the use of metal foam in sandwich structre containing Al or steel plate to overcome an impact shells or plates at differnet impact velocity but the prblem that I face how to define the failure critrion of Meat foam except difine the crushable foam properties, and I've read a paper on using cohesive element but i don'nt know how to use it.
Hopefully some one can help me solving this prblem, by the way I'm using ABAQUS v6.6
Regards
time integration for plasticity
Hi this is Tim, final year undergraduate student .can anyone tell me why we need time integration for plasticity (hardening).As i am undergraduate student my knowledge is very limited so could you please let me know from basics. Also what does explicit and implict integration mean in the application of plasticity?
THanks in advance,
Tim
Postdoctoral Research Position at IDMEC-FEUP, Portugal
The Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal, intents to contract 2 researchers (postdoctoral) to work in the group of Structural Integrity. The main topics of this group are:
- Development of advanced composites
- Product development
- Fracture and fatigue behaviour of components
- Development of structural wood components
- New numerical techniques to analyze solids and structures
- Biomechanical behaviour of soft tissues
Graduate student position at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)
See http://www.hallf.kth.se/NYAJOBB/nyajobb_en.html
The position is at the Department of Solid Mechanics, KTH . The theme of the graduate student project is "Crack growth in rubber and rubber like materials".

This is my final project.
The Study by Mr. Wu etc Concerning Saint-Venant’s Principle is Insignificant
The paper titled "The Study by Mr. Wu etc Concerning Saint-Venant’s Principle is Insignificant" reviewed the series of four works of “proof of Saint-Venant’s Principle” published by Wu etc .The four articles proved neither the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of section-forces of the finite elements in the chain model of discretization of the cylinder nor the discrete Saint-Venant-type decay of section-displacements, posed in their papers. Furthermore, the discrete Saint-Venant type decay of section-forces is not provable.
