hello

i simulted impact on ceramic plate but after the impact the element of ceramic didnot erod. i use element deletation=yes, any body know what should i do?

thanks

Like we have established, health, safety and environmental legislation regimes have always been as a result of major accidents. The only time there is the need for new legislation is when there is a major accident. this is rather a faulty pivot for legislation formation because there is no single accident sequence that would ever repeat itself in thesame way. Why is it not possible to achieve a more robust model.

The postdoc vacancy is for experimental testing and numerical modelling of impact on 3D woven thermoplastic composites for automotive applications. Our research group is partner in the European FP7 project 3DLightTrans "Large scale manufacturing technology for high-performance lightweight 3D multifunctional composites" (http://www.3d-lighttrans.com/). Key industrial partners are Fiat, Bentley, Federal Mogul, Van de Wiele,...

The North Sea is experiencing another wave of technological advancement in the process of extending the life span of Existing pipelines.

A lot of the Pipelines in the North sea have reached or are close to the end of their design life and as usual the business minds who own these assets are taking steps to extend the life of the pipelines instead of just decommisioning, their argument is mainly economic i.e. the CAPEX involved. 

Is this not a potential disaster in the making. Can we properly extend the lives of pipelines and still optimize the safety case

Hallo, Guten Tag!
Good day!

Here I write to
you, applying for Research Project Grant and International Collaboration.

I have received my
Ph.D. and had done some research work in Germany and Saudi Arabia over the past
three years. If the chance for working as a Postdoctoral
position or Researcher in your lab comes to me, I will try my best to carry out
the research projects successfully.

Sir,

I am facing the problem in Ansys 13.0 for making functionally gradient material plate where E (youngs modulus) can vary as per thickness of plate 

kindly suggest me how to model the plate 

Safety Engineering and Risk Management Debate 2012

This sort of branched off from the discussion topic "The
constant struggle between HSE legislation and human stupidity".

Dear All,

As a part of my PhD project I need to implement the tangent stiffness matrix of a 2D beam co-rotational formulation.

 So I will apreciate if somebody can show me the components (coefficients)  of the element tangent stiffness matrix.

Thanks in advance
