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

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

The 8th European Conference on Constitutive Models for Rubbers (ECCMR VIII) will be held at Tecnun/CEIT (San Sebastian, Spain) between June 25th and June 28th, 2013.

My thermal simulation in the alternator required convective coefficient . Presently i have computed convective coefficient for stator,rotor,rectifier assembly by thermal testing at steady state condition. I have completed thermal simulation for these components of the alternator . Next, i want to perform thermal simulation for entire alternator.Is there anybody, provide me guidance to formulate correlation between geomentry,ambient condition,convective flim coefficient.Further, i have to model contact among components in the alternator. it requires thermal contact conductance.

I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN ABACUS . KINDLY PROVIDE YOUR VALUABLE GUIDANCE.
