A perspective paper on material failure theory and applications

Submitted by Yonggang Huang on

The Perspective papers published in Journal of Applied Mechanics have attracted a lot of readers, such as the first perspective paper by Huajian Gao (Brown University) which has been downloaded for >8,000 times.  A perspective paper, as invited by the editor of JAM, is very short (2~3 pages) and easy to read (like Readers' Digest) to reveal some emerging directions, or some important discoveries in clasical directions, in mechanics.

Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Panel In Abaqus

Submitted by Anthos Ioannou on

Dear Subscribers 

I am a PhD Student and I am working on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.I am a new user of Abaqus. I have simulated a concrete panel in a cobination with double steel rebars all together. The constraint between the steel grid an the Reinforce concrete element was the Ebbeded Region.After the analysis the job is aborted and the report of the error is 700 elements have missing property definitions.The elements have been identified i element set ErrElemMissingSection. 

How to develop a new constitutive model from scratch?

Submitted by Xiaogai Li on
Dear all  iMechanica,
 
I wonder if there is any good  material on constitutive modeling that explains how to develop a new constitutive model from scratch, e.g. from the experimental data say uniaxial tension and compression. Where should one start to develop a new constitutive model? What laws should the model obey?
