Fracture analysis of crack using ANSYS
HI,
I trying to find the SIF for a crack on lower jaw of a locking piler. Please somebody tell me how to insert edge crack in 3D body.

Dear imechanica members,
I am glat to inform your the organization of the workshop "Impact of mechanical and thermal loads on the long term stability of PV modules" on 05th November 2013 at ISFH (Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin), in Hamelin, Germany.
Stabilization method in local instability problems
Dear all,
in commercial FE codes, such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, there is option to get convergence in quasi-static analysis by using artificial damping factor. I tried to dig their documentation about this method, but it is somewhat sparse. Could some body recommend me some literature about this topic so that I can gain a better understanding about it.
I thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Ken

Pre-stress modal analysis in ABAQUS for circular cylindrical shell
Dear all,
I am trying to perform a pre-stress modal analysis of a cylindrical shell in ABAQUS, and I am unable to transfer data from step-1 to step-2. Due to this
results are the same as the modal analysis of the beam without the
static force.
Anybody know the solution of this kind of problem, kindely let me know..

Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic material modelling
I have a doubt regarding the Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic material modelling in ANSYS using Mooney-Rivlin material constants.
ANSYS theory manual says that for large deformation and large strains, the material modelling (i.e. constitutive behaviour) is same for hyperelastic and viscoelastic. Is it so?
Generally, Mooney-Rivlin material constants are used to model Hyperelastic behaviour (rubber-like materials).
