angle-ply laminated plate model
I am trying to built a model for a laminated angle-plied plate, which has different fibres orientation in each plate. But I have a problem in materilas property as the Abaqus told me after analysis andmake error. The error is that the properties of the model in not assigned well. I have assign them as shell composite and make the local co-ordinate orientation.
I have tried to use homogeneous material and enter the Engineering contants in all directions and by just changing the local axis orintation, it works. But I don't know if this is right or not.
Need advice plz
relation between plastic strain tensor and dislocation density?
What's a general relation between dislocation density (scalar) and plastic strains (tensor) in 3d? any references? thanks.

Richards equation solution in 1D
Hello, I'm working in my PhD thesis and at the moment I have to solve the Richards' Equation in 1D.
C(h)*Dh/Dt = D/Dx[K(h)*Dh/Dx] + DK/Dx
with some boundary and initial condition.
I usually work in matlab and I need some point to start. If some of you know a matlab code that solve this kind of problem please tell me something.
Thanks a lot, and greetings.

1st IC Abrasive Processes
Evolving from earlier meetings on erosion, the International Conference on Liquid and Solid Impact (ELSI-IX) and the International Conference on Erosive and Abrasive Wear (ICEAW-II), the 1st International Conference on Abrasive Processes (ICAP-I) will be held in the historic city of Cambridge, England, 21-25 September 2008.
You are invited to join international delegates for this fully residential conference by submitting an abstract by 27 January 2008. Details can be found at www.icap.elsevier.com
Reminder - abstract submission date for 3rd IC Engineering Failure Analysis
The abstract submission deadline for this next conference in the biennial Engineering Failure Analysis series (www.icefa.elsevier.com) is 30 November 2007.
The conference will take place in the coastal town of Sitges, just a short distance from Barcelona's international airport, from 13 to 16 July 2008.
