(Fall 2013 MRS) Symposium VV: Designed Cellular Materials—Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Applications

Submitted by William Carter on

Hi Everyone:

We wanted to make sure everyone knew about this symposium, tucked away under the nanotechnology category, for the fall 2013 MRS meeting. Abstracts are due soon. We expect a heavy mechanics component for this symposium.

Postdoc position in Natural Fiber Composites

Submitted by Tamer Sebaey on

We have a new position for posdoc in Qatar University. The main topic is using natural fibers in composite materials for particular structural applications. The job requires a previous experience in natural fiber composites. In addition, experimental and numeriacl tools are desirable. The salary is high (better than any other place). In addition, there are more benifits regarding schools of your children and the plane tickits. For more information, please contact me sepaey [at] hotmail.com

J Integral calculation for an Axisymmetric Problem with crack in Ansys

Submitted by balaji modepalli on

Hi all,

I am working on Crack growth analysis of Turbocharger wheel and shaft assembly. I have simulated it as an axisymmetric problem with fine mesh around the cracktip(in Ansys). Element used is Plane182.

I have to compare the K1 and K2 values obtained from both the Displacement Extrapolation Method and J-Interal method. 

I got the K1 an K2 values at the cracktip location by defining path using displacement extrapolation method.

But, I was not able to get the Stress intensity factor values (K1 nad K2) using J-Integral Method.
