Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in a symposium on “Modeling and experimental characterization for the behavior of the micro/nanostructured thin films” in ASME 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition in Montreal, Canada ( http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2014/).

concrete damage plasticity 1

Submitted by farzad on Sun, 01/12/2014 - 07:51

hi every one.

i'm working with concrete damage plasticity in abaqus i want to know how and where i can get true data's about damage parameters,inelastic strains and

othere parameters and could we get them from a stress-strain curve.

i have some papers but i don't know they are right or wrong.

Hi,

Can somebody suggest me a good book for micromechanical modeling of composites?

Thanks

How to extract global and stiffness matrix for rotating beam from Ansys?

Submitted by kdevarajanmts on Fri, 01/10/2014 - 13:12

Hello Everyone,

I am currently doing research on Modal analysis of rotating cantilever beam using finite element analysis. For my research i want to extract global stiffness and mass matrix for rotating beam. I am using ANSYS 14.5 for my analysis. Please anybody know this means please kindly reply .

Expecting a posiitve reply,

With Regards

is it possible because of Mullin's effect?

Hyperelastic Materials

Mullin Effect

Filled rubber.

Hello,

I am working on testing of rubber couplings. I have a problem, that while doing torsional test of the coupling, we are getting different values of stiffness with change in time. Even if we do the testing and then take a small break of 10-20 minutes, then also after 20 minutes I am getting different values.

My question is, that is it possible because of Mullin effect? If so, How can we check that the rubber couplings that I have are filled or not( one piece rubber or filler with some other elastomer)?
