Surface Pressure in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Model

Submitted by Kewei Li on Tue, 03/19/2013 - 01:41

Hi, All: I am working on a fluid structure interaction problem with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in Abaqus. My solid is a deformable structure. I would like to know the pressure on the surface of structure where solid and fluid (particles) contact with each other. I wonder how could I output this vailable from the SPH model in Abaqus. Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Abstract

3-D
reconstruction of Halloysite nanotube (HNT) polypropylene composite has
been performed using two different methods. In the first method,
several slices of the composite material were obtained using focused ion
beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A representative
volume element (RVE) of the real material’s micro/nanostructures was

Durability of Reinforced concrete from Composition to Protection

Submitted by shavijabranko on Mon, 03/18/2013 - 09:59

The 6th International PhD Student Workshop on Durability of Reinforced
Concrete will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, during July 4 and 5,
2013, hosted by TUDelft. After a series of successful workshops, most
recently in Espoo (2012), Madrid (2010) and Guimarães (2009), IPSW2013
will be held under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities
Committee), aiming to bring together young researchers in the field of
durability of concrete.

This workshop, aimed at PhD students dealing with concrete durability (in a broad sense), is free of charge.

Could anyone tell me why in abaqus,while running a 3D mode 1 fracture analysis,I am not getting the same type of contours on either end of the thickness,i.e.i mean, front and back??While in front side i am getting all the symmetric contour plots,including the red part which shows the highest in the legend,while the back side is devoid of it

Abaqus Subroutines

Submitted by prasadrane1 on Fri, 03/15/2013 - 17:05

Hi, I am quite new to abaqus and I have to input a subroutine in Abaqus. Can anyone help me with a step by step tutorial of how to input a tutorial? I want to learn it feom scratch which includes where should I type the subroutine. Thanks.
