Dear Gropu member,

 I am josyula, working on machinability study of composites on abaqus .

1) i need help in modeling of particulate reinforce composite.

2) i need help in simulation of turning  in abaqus.

Dear Friends,

 
The department of applied mechanics is organizing the 1st Indian Conference on Applied Mechanics (INCAM 2013) between July 4th to July 6th 2013. Faculty and students are encouraged to send papers for this conference and help
in disseminating the information to others interested in the themes of the conference.

The details of the conference is given in the web link below:

bauchinger effect

Submitted by danielteruna on

Hi! all

I have conducted several test of steel plate under cyclic load in order to get hysteretic cuve. some specimens showed a significant differences between tension and compression load. I read from texbook about this phenomena and it say because of bauschinger effect. Iam wondering why the diffrences to large and sometimes more than 50%. I am very appreciate if some one can explain about this problem.

regards

danile

3rd International Conference on Material Modelling incorporating the 13th European Mechanics of Materials Conference

Submitted by mmazdz on

Dear Colleagues,

During the last decades material modelling has become a field of central

scientific importance. Although there exist many workshops, meetings,

colloquia, etc. on specific materials, and particular applications, here a

single conference dedicated to material modelling with all its various

facets is intended. To this end, the aim of the ICMM conference is to bring

together researchers from the various fields of material modelling and

materials characterization. The intention here is to cover essentially all

Easily calculate longitudinal compression strength of unidirectional composites

Submitted by ebarbero on

The longitudinal compression strength of unidirectional composites F1c, also called Xc, is very difficul to test for, so often you don't have the value for the particular material (fiber, matrix, volume fraction) that you wish to use. Further, just having data does not tell you what paramaters really influence its value--it is not the compressive strength of the fiber, I can assure you. So, there is a simple formula that you can use to predict its value and also to understand what are the parameters that really affect the compression strength of the composite.
