finite element analysis

Submitted by arash valiollahi on

hi,
i am working on extrusion modeling in ansys .
but i have the Ansys.12 version .i used the element "visco107".
but when i wanna do these analysis in ansys.13 ,so i cant find any appropriate element for extrusion there is no visco solid elements in ansys13.
my question is what element is replaced for visco solid elements,specially visco107.
also,when the deformations are large ,it doesnt converge and i ansys cant calculate the results.
anybody knows how to fix this problem?
i really appreciate.
regards

Postdoc in Solid Mechanics at Brown University

Submitted by Allan F Bower on

The solid mechanics program in the School of Engineering, Brown University has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in the area of mechanics of battery electrode materials.

The successful candidate will develop and apply continuum-scale models of mechanical decrepitation and capacity loss in Li ion insertion electrodes.  The project will involve close collaboration with atomic-scale modelers, experimentalists and industrial partners.

Active Research groups in Computational Plasticity

Submitted by bitamendi on

 

Hello everyone,

 

I'm last year PhD student. I would appreciate if someone could advice me about active research groups in Computational Plasticity (material models, hardening models, yield criteria, UMAT) in California or Australia.

 

I'm looking for an interesting research group to find a post-doc but I don't know from where start.

 

Thansks to everyone!!

sandwich composite: equivalent transverse shear stiffness

Submitted by tatiana on

 Hi,

 I wish to calculate an equivalent transverse shear stiffness of a simple sandwich plate. The plate is made of two skins and a layer of a foam.

Does anyone know an analytical formula for determination of equivalent (kGS) ?

 Thank's.

Dynamic Vibration Analysis of a cantilever beam and its effect on neighbouring beams by using ansys

Submitted by madhava on

Hi,

As a first step in the vibration analysis of the beam, I have modelled 2 rectangular cross section 3D beam and am doing the modal analysis in ansys, but the problem is there is no interaction happening of the 2 beams(ie i have defined the contact and target parameters to the' nodes of the 2 faces of the beam facing each other',by using cintaca170, 174), the beam behave as if there is no neighbouring beam.

Can anyone suggest something.
