Nano Puncture Resistance Using Nanoindentation
Traditional Puncture Tests are typically used to determine the penetration characteristics of a wide range of protective material such as films, foils or membrane. It is widely used in food and medical industries on applications ranging from food packaging to rubber gloves and needles. The test is preformed like that of a compressive test. A probe, with multiple tip selection, uses increasing load until material is penetrated and load is recorded at failure.
Multiscale Short Course in Aachen in August 2012
Dear Colleague:
An intensive 4-day short course on the fundamentals of continuum, atomistic and multiscale modeling of materials will be held at AICES in Aachen, Germany during August 14-17, 2012. The course will be taught by Profs. Ellad Tadmor and Ronald Miller. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Enrollment is limited so early registration is recommended. To register, visit http://www.modelingmaterials.org/short-courses
Postdoc position: modelling soil-structure interaction at the University of Sheffield
The University of Sheffield wishes to recruit a postdoctoral researcher to work on the EPSRC funded project: 'Ultimate and permissible limit
state behaviour of soil-filled masonry arch bridges' (24 month contract).
The successful candidate will develop novel detailed direct analysis models of the soil-structure interactions which take place in a

Bilinear-Law of cohesive element in LS-DYNA
Hello,
I'm coding a user materils for cohesive elemnt in dyna, But I met some problems, hope anyone could give some guidance or help .
I'm trying to code my own user material subroutine for cohesive element in ls-dyna. The cohesive element formulation is already predefined and exists in *SECTION card ( elform=19).
Applying friction induced torque
Hello,
I am modelling a beam inside a tubular constraint using beam elements in Abaqus explicit dynamic analysis. I used connector elements for creating a radial clearance. The connector can apply axial friction, but I am wondering how to apply friction induced moment. It clearly depnedes on moving direction of the beam. Please let me know what you think about a strategy to model the moment.
Thanks.
four-bar mechanism
hi , i wanna define a four-bar mechanism with matlab and optimal input that none of branch,circuit and order defect happen in my program . can someone help me how can i apply this conditions in my program???
