Inglis (1913) vs. Griffith (1921)
I have updated my notes on the Griffith paper. I added more description on the experimental determination of surface tension of solids. Griiffith himself determined the surface tension of glass by an experimental setup. Udin et al (1949) described a setup based on the same principle. This setup is now known as the zero creep experiment.
Grants for 3rd International Workshop on Physics Based Material Models and Experimental Observations Cesme/Turkey 2-4 June
In 2012 and 2013 we organized very successful Workshops on
"Physics-based material models and experimental observations" funded
by the European Union's Enlargement programme. We cordially invite you to
submit an abstract to the 3rd International Workshop on Physics Based
Material Models and Experimental Observations to be held on 2-4 June
2014 in Cesme-Izmir/Turkey.
Riks analysis using ABAQUS
I was doing an analysis using ABAQUS for snap buckling of conical shell using Static Riks option. But finding difficulty from switching over from static general step to static Riks. Program is aborting telling that constraints are rigid.
If anyone can help please respond

Interested candidates must have a PhD degree in the field. The selected candidate is expected to conduct research in the area of Geotechnical Engineering, and create and promote graduate courses.
Using Substructure for contact modelling in Abaqus
I have a
problem to use substructure for contact anaylsis of two gears. I have
already read the example in abaqus Example problem manual for help.
Well, to explain my problem in detail, I have two nastron files of two
gears and later using FORTRAN I am able to write the programm to
generate the *.inp files. What I tried to do is
1. Substrcture generation of two gears in seperate files. Now I have two
sets of substructures available for individual gears. While generating
the substruture, I have retained the DOF for the nodes which are on the
Model from Abaqus to LSDyna
Hallo,
does anyone know, if it is possible to transfer a FE-Model from Abaqus to LsDyna? I build up the model with Abaqus Cae, so I can take either the *.cae or the *.inp file.
Thanks for your answers, Lena
