modelling the crack in Abaqus

Submitted by mahyar on

Hi colleage 

I am working on fracture mechanics recently and i am using Abaqus to do it, i am a new user in this software so i have some problems, in getting results and ... i want to get some variable such as J-integral, S.iF, number of cycles and ... but unfortunatelly i donno how to get it .

i want to ask if anybody can send me a sample of abaqus in this srea, then i can study and practise according to it and after that i can go through my project.

 

Faculty position in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT

Submitted by Raul Radovitzky on

Dear colleagues,

please consider applying for the faculty position in my Department described in the attached announcement. As you can see one of the focus areas of interest is in Aerospace Materials and Structures for which applicants with expertise in Solid Mechanics would be a great fit.

Sincerely,

Raul Radovitzky

Topic 34: Can the application of Redundancy Increase Safety and Reliability in the oil and gas industry?

Submitted by Elvis.E.Osung on

A system with a single point of failure is usually made more reliable by the concept of redundancy. Redundant members are added in structural members to reduce the likelihood of failure.

Double diffusive natural convection of CO2

Submitted by AkandIslam on

My recent simulation results http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyUNj7HEaro and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEMrxHo_Z7s&feature=relmfu show how CO2 will dissolve in subsurface porous media after injection. The former results due to both density and geothermal gradients where the later is the results for only density difference.

Dynamic shear localization and softening: Microstructural, thermal or both?

Submitted by D.Rittel on

This basic question is discussed in a paper with S. Osovski and A. Venkert, to appear in Mechanics of Materials.

 We definitely enjoyed working on this aspect of the dynamic shear localization failure process (aka adiabatic shear) and I hope you will enjoy reading it! Comments are welcome :=)

 

help in modeling with ansys

Submitted by eng.rj on

hi all,

i was able to model a concrete beam in ansys

but i am having problem with applying laod ( using load steps ......and restsrt)

and reading results (when to know the that the beam failed and how to know what kind of fail happpend)

and how to use ( arc length instead of newton-rafson)

please can you suggest any pdf which i can learn from or any on has an example for a beam ( as text file so i can learn the commands)

thanks
