failure manner in concrete beam in ansys
hi ,
i am working with concrete beam in ansys, i what to konw how to now its failure manner??? ....how to know whether it is shear or flexural or crushing failure??.....and what is the difference between reaching 0.003 for the strain in concrete and not reaching it ???......what is the difference between getting a message said that we have a rigid body motion ......and a message said we have unconvergence solution???.......i have been struggling to find out the answer but i did get no thing yet ....
thanks

3, Microelectronical Mechanical Systems
Needed: Dielectric Elastomer transducers made to spec
My company urgently needs to identify an individual or organization who can
fabricate a couple of hundred small Dielectric Elastomer transducers for an
R&D project. The work could be done under contract. We have
started making our own but it is becoming clear there is a learning curve plus
much trial and error and we are short on time.
If you think you might be able to make them or if you can suggest

Bifurcation Analysis in Abaqus
Hello Everyone,
Im relatively new to Abaqus and I have to carry out a bifurcation analysis of a pipe. Once that is done I need to add the imperfection wavelength and amplitude calculated to the pipe and carry out further simulations.
Ive been trying very hard to get a direction as to where to start with it. Can anyone please help me with it? I know that you need to carry out a buckle analysis that will give you a wrinkle pattern on the pipe. This inturn will add up to the bifurcation scheme that you get.
