Intermediate Mechanics of Materials Online For Free Viewing
I recently posted a free, online, and
condensed version of my book Intermediate Mechanics of Materials, Second
Edition. It is posted on my website madhuvable.org
and can be used for reference or by self-learners. In addition to the
online book, there is a glossary of mechanics terms, brief reviews of
Statics, Matrix Algebra, Numerical Methods, and Mechanics of Materials.

damage evolution
Hi, everybody,
I am new in modeling of damage initiation and evolution. my job is modeling damage evolution during castingrion deformation which includes two phases: matrix and graphite. Now I developed a 2D plane strain model and trie to model damage evolution. however, when I defined the damage criterion in material propertis under ABAQUS 6.10 and submitted job, the following error occurs:
Method for Simulation of Universal Joint
Hello Everyone,
I have to simulate and find the pressure on the splines in the universal joint. I have to define contact surface and to find a simple method to run analysis on this joint. I am finding it very difficult to select all the surface on every spline. Also, it will make the simulation very big.
Could anyone please help me to find a method or an easy way out. Any kind of suggestions are most welcome.

Prahel
regarding Microstructure analysis in ABAQUS
Hi all,
I am doing microstructure analysis in 3D. To implement anisotropy, i need to give the orientation data. Does anyone know, how to give the orientation in ABAQUS?
The data i have in hand is Euler Angles... Can i give the data manually for four of five grains?
Also, please tell me about the ORIENT subroutine in ABAQUS...
Charge localization instability in a highly deformable dielectric elastomer
A highly deformable capacitor made of a soft dielectric and two conformal
electrodes can switch between two states discontinuously, by a first-order transition, as the total
charge varies gradually. When the total charge is small, it spreads evenly over the area of the
capacitor, and the capacitor deforms homogeneously. When the total charge is large, it localizes in
a small region of the capacitor, and this region thins down preferentially. The capacitor will
