thermodynamics equilibrium state vs. steady state???
I am not clear about two concepts: thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state. It's easy to conceive of the following different two osmosis processes regarding thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state, respecitvely.
How to partition an hexagonal with curves corners 3D solid
Dear all,
I would like to receive an advice so as to partition in a properly way this hexagonal solid. I tryed to use partition cell extrude cell/sweep edge in the the curved edge, but the solid it has not been partitioned.
thanks in advanced

Overhead Electrical Conductors
In elementary mechanics textbooks, power lines are generally given as a typical example of a so-called “flexible cable”. However, in the design of these critical elements of a power grid it is often necessary to take into account the conductor bending stiffness, or flexural rigidity. While relatively low compared with a bar having an equivalent solid cross-section, it does have some influence on a conductor response to wind excitation, in particular from the fatigue strength point of view.

prediction of crack path which is subjected to stress gradient and biaxial load.
Dear all.
I'm currently doing some research concerning crack path prediction in brittle thin film.
But I'm struggled to find efficient way to do it.
In reality my case: stress is higly confined within semi infinite narrow rectangular strip patten and out of this rectangular, stress is very low or near 0 compared to stress within the pattern. Crack starts from left side end and propagates within pattern toward right end side of pattern. Crack show wavy propagation behavior with regular period and amplitude.
