Problem with Abaqus
I am preparing a deformation for compisite material by using VUMAT. I get the tesnile stress but the results can not show the meterial damage (fracture). How can we show the element damage?
Openings for MSc/PhD students at University of Alberta
Open MSc/PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Alberta. The research projects will involve computational and experimental study of soft material mechanics, with an emphasis on fracture. Students with background in solid mechanics or materials science are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates please send resume to Dr. Rong Long (rlong2 [at] ualberta.ca).

Finit element Analysis of mandible bone with implant
Hi everyone
i work on a bio mechanic project. i am going to simulate a mandible bone
with implant. at first i want to use Materialise Mimics V10 to convert Ct Scan
data of a mandible without implant to a 3D model. i thought i could edit
the exported file on the other software (Ansys or Abaqus) to add the
implant. but, exported file from mimics can not have any edit .Actually
it has not volume and i need to have a 3D solid model. please help me !

High Speed Nano Wear Testing Breakthrough
PRESS RELEASE
Feb 21, 2013 – Irvine, CA – Nanovea announced today the completion of a Nano Wear Testing System capable of speeds as high as 1400mm/sec. The unique length of stroke, up to 10mm, combined with a linear movement at a rate up to 70Hz, and possibly at higher frequencies, allows speeds never before available for Nano Wear Testing.
