Crack length measurement
I am trying to measure J - integral from experiment. " Let my initial fatigue crack length is 6mm, then i did single specimen unloading compliance test on it. The crack legth increased to 8mm" If i want to model the same geometry in FEA. Now my doubt is that "what carck length should i take 1) Initial fatigue crack = 6mm 2) final crack length = 8 mm.................... Note: I need to model my CT specimen in FEA to correct my experiments :-)
CAE
hi im prasath now im a CAE trainee. i want to know more about CAE analysis what are the necessary things i've to learn and experienced in this field?...
Parallel Multiscale modeling in ABAQUS using UMAT
Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of implementing a multiscale modeling approach in ABAQUS/Standard.
Here is what I am doing.
Macroscale ABAQUS model <--> UMAT <--> Python script <--> Microscale ABAQUS model
So basically the microscale model is being called at every macroscale integration point. The UMAT passes the required data to python as command line arguments and the python script returns the stress and tangent modulus in a text file.

How to set the parameters of ductile damage in ABAQUS?
Hi,
I want to try abaqus ductile damage model to simulate steel
failure in Abaqus. I read the manual, and have some ambiguities regarding its parameters.
Is there somebody to have experiences in ductile damage to share?
Thanks.
PhD position in Hydraulic Fracture at University of Houston
There is an open position for PhD at University of Houston in the area of structural engineering and computational mechanics. The student will start as TA and then switch to RA hopefully in the subject of hydraulic fracturing. If you find yourself interested in the subject, please send your CV to m.reza.mousavi [at] gmail.com .
Eighty Years of Dislocation Theory and Work Hardening
On February 7, 1934, two consecutive papers by Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor were received and so the dislocation theory was born and the first attempt at describing work hardening was made. Before that date, it was known that there was a big gap between the ideal and the experimentally observed shear strength. While according to the calculations, the shear strength had to be of the order of one tenth (or with finer models one thirtieth) of the shear modulus, the measured shear strength was several orders of magnitude smaller. This large discrepancy brought about Geoffrey I.Taylor, Egon Orowan and Michael Polyani to independently postulate the existence of dislocations. Papers by Orowan and Polyani were published consecutively in one volume of Zeitschrift für Physik.
