Layered Shell Displacements
Hi,
I am confused regarding displacements calculated through layered shell model in Ansys using Shell 181.
The model is composed of 5 layered sections of different materials (with thicknesses) assigned to an area. The whole laminate is cooled from a reference (zero-strain) (150 C) temperature to a uniform temperature (-40 C).
I need to calculate the difference of displacements between two nodes in the meshed area, for a specific location in layer no. 3. The issue is that I only have nodes in one plane and the results (i think) are interpolated along the thickness. My question is that, is there any method to find displacements at a specific layer in the shell model [as we can find all other results (stress, strains etc.) for different layers]
meshing question in ansys
greetings :)
i've got this beam, 1x0.24x0.15 (x,y,z) respectively .!
i wanna mesh it, to obtain the following:
first element's length in x-direction is: 0.02
last element's length in y-direction is: 0.045
rest elements (17 middle elements) are: 0.055
y and z direction is according to the global manual size
can anyone help :), thanks alot

Multiple PhD positions in microstructure-mechanics relationships for structural materials at high temperatures
Multiple PhD positions are available for the fall 2012/winter 2013 semesters in microstructure-mechanics relationships for structural materials at high temperatures in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (http://www.cavs.msstate.edu) at Mississippi State University. The project is funded through Air Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR) and will involve multiscale materials characterization, in situ SEM experiments, and high temperature mechanical testing for turbine blade structural materials (nickel-based superalloys).
Wikipedia mistake?
Am I mistaken or is there a mistake in the Wikipedia entry on Mechanical Stress? The index convention used in the text seems to be inconsistent with the illustrations (Figures 1.1, 2.3 and 2.4). In the figures, the second index refers to the direction of traction. But, in the text it is the other way around.
MSc position in computational materials science at the University of Manitoba
Two Masters' positions are now available for the winter semester (starting in January), 2013 on computational materials sciene in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the Unviersity of Manitoba. The potential student(s) will work on the thermostability and mechanical properties in nanocrystalline materials and crystalline/amorphous composites. Students with strong interests in atomistic simulations (MD, ab inito, monte carlo, etc.) and good programming skills (C, Fortran, etc.) are encouraged to apply. Intrested students please send a CV and inquires to Prof.
Determination of residual stresses by ESPI-HD method
We have an equipment and technology for determination of residual stresses. They are based on the hole-drilling method and electron speckle
interferometry (ESPI-HD method).
"Indo-Danish International Conference on Wind Energy: Materials, Engineering and Policies (WEMEP2012)"
The deadline for abstract submission is extended to 16th August 2012. The title of the international conference is "Indo-Danish International Conference on Wind Energy: Materials, Engineering and Policies (WEMEP2012)". The Conference will be held only two days i.e. 22nd - 23rd November 2012 at BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Jawahar Nagar, R.R. Dist, Hyderabad – India.
Postdoc Position in Advanced Materials Lab, Northwestern University
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Brinson’s Advanced Materials Lab involving collaborative work on finite element modeling of nanostructured polymer composites. The majority of the work will be split across two projects on the subject. The first project involves 3D modeling of filled elastomers, with a focus on the viscoelastic properties. Non-linear viscoelastic modeling experience is a plus, but not required.
