Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials now accepts MATLAB figure files
You can enrich your online articles by providing supplementary MATLAB figure files with the .FIG file extension. These files will be visualized using an interactive viewer that allows readers to explore your figures within the context of the article. The FIG files can be uploaded in our online submission system, and will also be available for downloading from your online article on SciVerse ScienceDirect.

Run ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran
Dear colleagues,
I am a beginner in using ABAQUS subroutines, and currently come into the problem of running ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran.
I have installed ABAQUS 6.11-1, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and Intel Visual Fortran Studio XE 2011 on my computer. However, when I run the test codes, there are the following errors:
Brittle cracking in brittle materials
Hi there,
I am trying to simulate a crack opening process in ABAQUS. I start up from a simple model of plate with a notch subjected to tension. I would like to see the crack opening. To model a brittle mnaterial behaviour I have added a brittle cracking with sub-option brttle failure and brittle shear.
Please look at dat file:
*Heading
*Node
*Element, type=CPS3
*Element, type=CPS4R
*Nset, nset=ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1__PICKEDSET2
*Elset, elset=ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1__I1
Abaqus Laterally loaded piles
Hi all,
I modelled a pile in sandy soil, the pile is subjected to a lateral load. I embedded the pile inside the soil. The soil if always over stiffened , can any one tell me why , why the soil is very very stiff, I used very small value for elasticity modulus. please help
