ACP

Submitted by mina rakhshi on

Hi friends;

I have three volumes with different materials, I want to define material properties for them in workbench 14, but acp module isn't in it. 

How should I define material properties for every layer from volume? Is any way in workbench14 or I should install workbench 15?

my model in workbench is below:

please help me.

Regards.

Simulation of surfaces interaction in 2d model in Abaqus

Submitted by Anthos on

Dear Subscribers 

I am a new abacus user and I am trying to simulate the interaction between two

the surfaces of 2 different parts and materials. Does anybody knows how can I proceed 

in this simulation procedure. With pleasure any answer will be helpful from my work.

Thank you in advance

The stress intensity factor and Young's Modulus

Submitted by Adjal on

The stress intensity factor and Young's Modulus 

It is evident that stress intensity factor considered as  the most important factor in fracture mechanics which used for evaluating the stress state near to tip crack . However this factor depends up many parameters (such us normal loading, cracks size and its geometry). my question is as follow 

The stress intensity factor is depend of Young's modulus, How to identify the effect of Young's modulus on the variation of stress intensity factors. 

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton - UK/EU students only

This project is part of a larger effort aiming at designing the next generation of high strain rate tests of materials based on modern ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. This project is partly funded by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) who have an interest in high strain rate behaviour of carbon fibre polymer matrix composites. The selected candidate will join a group of half a dozen researchers working on similar topics as part of the Photodyn project (www.photodyn.org).

Experimental studies recently performed on single cancer and healthy cells have demonstrated that the former are about 70% softer than the latter, regardless of the cell lines and the measurement technique used for determining the mechanical properties.
