We just can't bottle up this exciting story...

I'm excited to share a recently published article posted on
Design World entitled, Keeping
carbonation bottled up with FEA. In it, author Chris Hardee had the
opportunity to interview Xavier Brajer of Verallia at Saint-Gobain’s Research
Center. Xavier explained how he and his 15-person Mechanics of Materials Group
in the company’s R&D department use Abaqus and Isight to save time and
money when designing glass bottles.

Dear Colleagues,

I'm trying to model the ISO tests (as per ISO 1496-3) for a tank container subjected to static and dynamic loading using finite element technique. Regrading this work sufficient research papers are not available. Another thing is that, for fail-safe design and fatigue analysis there is no such documents known to me. Can you please help me in this regard?

Guidance from experienced colleague is highly solicited.

I have a ring geometry. For example the dimensions are:

radius: 2mm

radial thickness: 30 micron

axial thickness: 100 micron

The Fourteenth Pan American
Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIV) will be held in Santiago, Chile from
March 24th to 28th, 2014, in collaboration with Universidad de Chile
and Universidad de los Andes.

The following is the list of
plenary speakers:

-
David Steigmann, University of California,
Berkeley.

- Charles Meneveau, Johns Hopkins University.

- Kumbakonam Rajagopal, University of Texas
A&M.

- Raymond Ogden, University of Glasgow.

We will soon be looking for a tandem of 2 faculty members: one senior, with management, leadership and funding track-record, another more junior (assistant/associate professor level) to work in tandem with the first. Adverts should come out soon, but feel free to get in touch with me should you require more information. Stéphane  - stephane dot bordas at alum dot northwestern dot edu

Hello every body,

I am working on the simulation of cutting for aluminium alloy (A2024-T351) in abaqus, i use Johnson cook model

I want to introduce several critical values ​​of damage (D1=0.1and D2=0.1,0.5,0.7), how can i do that in abaqus CAE

IF anyone would please help me
