Hello all,
There has been
much debate about the difference between Implicit and Explicit Dynamics. I was
wondering what exactly is the difference between 'Implicit Dynamics' and 'Steady
State Dynamics (SSD)' steps in Abaqus though it has been explained a bit in the
manuals.
PhD scholarship (A$26,000 per year) is available at RMIT University, Australia. The
successful applicant will join our research team to work in one of the
following areas: (1) micro-/nano-mechanics; (2) mechanics of composite/nanocomposite structures; and (3) nonlinear structural dynamics and stability.
The perspective applicants
should
(a) hold
a MSc. degree in a closely related area;
(b) have
strong background in and good knowledge of solid mechanics, composite structures
and numerical modeling techniques;

Hey,
I am writing a python script for modeling aggregates in a concrete cylinder. I have created a all the particles and and specified section properties to them and to the cylinder.
The procedure I am using is to merge the particles and the cylinder while retaining the boundaries. If the sctions are assigned to the parts before merging, the result is the cylinder with the specified section assignmentsfor each part.
I wrote the code in python but seems like it does not include the section assignment to the new part from merge.

The mechanical behavior of dough, gluten, and
starch was studied in an effort to investigate whether bread dough can be
treated as a two phase (starch and gluten) composite material. Mechanical
loading tests revealed rate-dependent behavior for both the starch and the
gluten constituents of dough. There is evidence from cryo-scanning electron
microscopy that damage in the form of debonding between starch and gluten
occurs when the sample is stretched. In addition, the Lodge material model was
found to deviate from the tension and shear stress-strain test data by a
