plate

Submitted by mina rakhshi on

Hi friends,

I want to model a plate with fix supports in APDL ANSYS but I receive an error that send it for you. dimensions of the plate are (0.2*0.2)m2 and carries pressure load 50(KN/m2).

please help me,

mina.

 

 

Ashby PhD Scholarship in the Mechanics of Materials

Submitted by Helen Gardner on

A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of mechanics of materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.

Further details may be obtained from Ms H A Gardner (has22 [at] cam.ac.uk (has22[at]cam[dot]ac[dot]uk)) .

Atom probe informed atomistic simulations reveal the importance of local interface curvature

Submitted by Arun Prakash on

The interaction of dislocations with precipitates is an essential strengthening mechanism in metals, as exemplified by the superior high-temperature strength of Ni-base superalloys. Here we use atomistic simulation samples generated from atom probe tomography data of a single crystal superalloy to study the interactions of matrix dislocations with a gamma' precipitate in molecular dynamics simulations.

A multiscale simulation framework of the ARB process

Submitted by Arun Prakash on

The accumulative roll bonding process is one of the most prominent severe plastic deformation processes for obtaining sheet materials with ultra-fine-grained microstructures and high strength. The properties of such sheets differ significantly from those of conventionally rolled sheets. It is hence desirable to have a simulation framework that can accurately predict the material properties, including the evolving texture and anisotropy during processing.
