Hi everybody
I'm searching for the following papers
A.C. Kaya and F. Erdogan :"Stress Intensity Factors and COD in an Orthotropic Strip", Int J Fract (1980), pp 171-190
D. S. Dugdale "Yielding of Steel Sheets Containing Slits" J Mech Phys Solids, Vol 8 (1960), p 100-104
G I Barenblatt. The mathematical theory of equilibrium cracks in brittle fracture. Adv. Appl. Mech., pages 55-129, 1962.
Thanks for help
Hi .,,I applied heat flux in my model(mechanical APDL-ANSYS) but ANSYS calculate HEATFLUX for whole period of time..It MEANS AS I SELECT HIGHER TIME STEPS THE RESULTANT NODAL TEMPRATURES ARE HIGHER(INSTEAD OF LOWER TEMPRATURES AS A RESULT OF COOLING)..CAN anyone help me with applying heat flux for a short period of time(0.2 second) in ANSYS.I would be highly appreciated for your kind support.
Does anyone know of an employment website that caters to scientists? All the sites I have tried (Dice, ZipRecruiter, TechCareers, JobFox, Monster.com etc.) have been a disappointment. They send me tons of spam about jobs in sales (or other vague categories) with "unlimited earnings potential", and for only $99 they'll teach me how to convert my resume into ASCII format!

New question!
I want to explore the same problem in two-dimensional structure (e.g. thin plate).
According to Love simplification, the cross section rotates but the shear
deflection is neglected. This means the edge cross section is not
vertical actually. Can I still assume the shear force on the edge cross
section is always vertical? e.g. free boundary condition on a circular plate under a concentrated in-plane edge force.

Dear Everyone,
Now, I am writing Abaqus’s subroutine (Vumat) for modelling fracture and damage in Ferritic Steels.
The failure theory I have to use in my PhD research is the Rousselier’s Theory.
I try to write Vumat by following the procedure of Rousselier model integration in PhD thesis namely ‘3D CAFE modelling of transitional ductile - brittle fracture in steels’ that can see from http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/thesis.pdf (Appendix.B).
Dear All,
I am modeling 3D beams with arbitrary cross sections and for that purpose I need to calculate the warping function numerically. The warping function ψ(y,z) is defined as a solution of the following Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions:
∂2ψ/∂y2 + ∂2ψ/∂z2 = 0 in Ω,
∂ψ/∂n = z*ny - y*nz on Γ,
where Ω is the cross sectional area, and Γ is its contour. This system can be solved by different numerical methods, for example, finite element method, boundary element method, finite differences...
Numerically I obtain that
Good mourning, it is well known that the cohesive forces models permet an easy and less combersome computation of the crack problems, these models formulated in term of stress are accompained with a scale effects because of the presence of a crachteristic lengths like the critical opening/sliding value, and the length of the cohesive zone at the begining of the propagation. In order to set the values of the characteristic lengths of the model used in the simulation for a given material, it is intressting to do that through an experimental tests like a compact tests.
