hello,



I am working on modeling of Continuum damage in isotropic materials. I have written a Matlab code for modeling of a continuous damage and I have verified it with several examples. In this modeling, I have mesh-size independent through the smeared damage model. Now, my aim is to present a continous-discontinous model.

The AMD Executive Committee (EC) is pleased to announce a student travel award and best paper competition at IMECE 2012 (http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2012/) this year. This award is aimed to encourage younger members and particularly graduate students to participate in IMECE and the activities of the Division.

 Usually ultrasound equipment in medicine only use compressional waves.
But since human tissues have a high bulk modulus, the P-wave speed is
relatively constant (around 1580 m/s). Human tissues are very stiff if
you apply isotropic constraints on them (like pressure of water).
However M. Fink and his colleagues proposed a new way to investigate
human tissues by first sending a strong compressional wave in the tissue
that is able to make ripples in the body, then shear wave are produced

Dear All,

Good Morning.

 I want to model a steel fibre reinforced R.C square slab under Impact force.

Can I get the suitable steps for using ABAQUS 6.10  to analyse and findout the ultimate stress,strain,displacements?

I have tested steel pipe (as a beam) under lateral distributed loads. Longitudenal strain gages are on the top and bottom lines of the pipe. Could any one suggest to me how can I derive the bending moment distribution along the pipe. I have E, I , t (thickness, and r(radius) for the pipe.

 I have found a formula from litrature as follows : M = K.E.I

Where K = curvature = 0.5 * (ε_tension side - ε_compression side) / C (i.e the Half Section Depth, or pipe radius)
