Buckling analysis of a imperfection sensitive cylinderical shell under compression

Submitted by mani6555 on

I have carried out eigen buckling analysis of cylindrical shell under axial compression under unit load  using abaqus in model-1 and in model -2 i carried out riks analysis gave imperfection 0.2mm fotr shell thickness 2mm radius 0.25m,h=0.5 m after the 100 increment the the shell is subjected to load which is obtained from first buckling load in first mode  here how to get the collapse load

write a command in ansys static structural

Submitted by maralll on

Hi every body,

I wonder if it is possible to write a *Do Loop in the static structural command snipper. I have to change a parameter in some substep of my solution, so I need *Do command. However, I am not sure if it is feasible to write a command in structural domain in order to change some parameters during solution.

I would be really appreciated if some one can help me with that.

Best Regards

Maral

  

Heating patterns in English homes: national survey vs common model assumptions

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Hightlights of this open access article published in Building and Environment:

• Building stock models need to revise some of their assumptions on space heating.

• Weekends and weekdays are similar in their heating pattern and duration.

• Estimated heating demand temperature is slightly lower than the assumed 21 °C.

• Homes differ widely in their hours of heating and their demand temperature.
