curvature tensor

Submitted by BenceBalogh on Sun, 01/13/2013 - 22:32

Could someone explain me what do the curvature tensor mean at surface structures?

THX for the help!

References for failure / damage modeling

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 01/13/2013 - 19:47

Hi,

I would like to know about the possible references for the modeling of failure /damage of materials in a finite element analysis software. Kindly suggest like books or research articles which illustrates the modelling.

thanks

Good mourning, is it possible to perform an analysis within the framework of an elasto-plastic fracture mechanic on abaqus, and if it is the case could anyone give a guidelines for that, thank you

computational mechanics

I'm looking for a good quality master's degree in computational mechanics. I currently live in Australia, and would prefer to study in Europe (must be an English based program as well). I have undergradaute degrees in mechanical engineering and computer science.

Two main degrees that stick out for me are the ones at the University of Stuttgart, and the Technical University of Munich.
