Should continuum be an open subset?

Submitted by hillyuan on

I recent read the book of Prof. J. Tinsley Oden "A short course on nonlinear continuum mechanics"

 http://users.ices.utexas.edu/~arbogast/cam397/oden0908.pdf

 which declares that reference configuration is an open, bounded, connected subset  of R3 with a smooth boundary (in Page 1).

It is strange to me beacause that means we cannot consider the boundary of the deformable bodies in its following discussion.

does anybody have  the abaqus seminar pdf ''modelling heat transfer and thermal-stress analysis with abaqus'' ???

 perhaps an older version...i d like learn it, hope u guys can help me, thank u very much.

if u have the pdf file, please give a freelink with dropbox or sth alke, or send me direct to zsc13810288137 [at] hotmail.com

failure analysis of composite material

Submitted by stkrajan on

hi i am new to abaqus software.  i am doing research on failure analysis of composite material.  i want to model the workpiece and machine by a tool.  any one can please help me if you have any tutorial to model this explicit analysis.  i want to analyse the chip also.

please send the help link to stkrajan [at] gmail.com (stkrajan[at]gmail[dot]com)

thankyou

2013 ASME IMECE Symposium on Multiphysics Simulations and Experiments for Solids (topic 10-33), Nov.15-21, San Diego, CA.

Submitted by dongqian on

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the co-organizers, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium on Multiphysics Simulations and Experiments for Solids as part of the upcoming 2013 ASME IMECE conference to be held at San Diego, CA from November 15-21. This symposium is a continuation of the previous symposia that have been successfully organized in the previous ASME IMECE conferences. 

ALE adaptive meshing in abaqus used for modeling crack propagation

Submitted by A.Brick Chaouche on

Good mourning, i have been asking a question about Abaqus capabilities to model crack propagation using an adaptive remeshing technique on abaqus, i know it is possible to use what it is called ALE adaptive meshing on abaqus standard/explicit, is it possible to use this option to model a crack propagation in materials and structures, it is well know that during a monotonic crack propagation, each length of the crack correspond a level of load, and to evaluate the following parameters such as SIF and G, we have to mesh a circular region centred on the crack tip, so we have to remesh the Geom
