Is there anybody who are still studying elastic vibration theory?

Submitted by Rui He on

    I'm a graduate student studying the coupled elastic vibration prolbem of structures and soils. However, I'm not very interested in that, as I think the practical coupled structure and soil vibration problem is totally inelastic, and I don't think it is of great importance to study the elastic case. 

   Is there anybody studying the vibration problem  here and can you tell me what's the importance of studying the elastic vibration problem? Are you interested in inelastic vibration prolbem?

A competitive 9-month salary is expected and summer support is possible as well. Although the position is non-tenure track, our intention would be to hire someone for the long-haul.

composite laminates

Submitted by kathire thirumoorthy on

hai,

my project is analysis of functionally graded plates for thermal loads using matlab in this regard i need certain basepaper regarding "bending,buckling and vibrational analysis of composite laminates(cross-ply & angle-ply)subjected to only thermal loads(i,e temperature increment) either constant or linear change using different theories as classical laminate plate theory(CLPT),first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) and zeroth-order shear deformation theory(ZSDT)"

How to update solution-dependat variable (SVARS) during iterations

Submitted by haghighat on

Hello everyone,

 I am implementing a uel user subroutine in ABAQUS. This uel is for modeling contact in X-FEM framework. Thus, it's a nonlinear problem and I need to store some solution dependent variables during each iteration. I know I can store SDVs in SVARS. But this vector will update at the end of each step, and not during iterations. Anybody knows about this problem?

 I really appreciate if anybody can help me with this.

    Thanks

Material damage model applied in ductile /brittle packaging material

Submitted by Ali43 on

Hi, I work on material damage model applied in ductile /brittle packaging material . Does any one have used the "overly method "(Imposing two element layers on top of each other, sharing same nodes but having different materials ) for modeling the an-isotropic hardening in Abaqus!? Do you know any other method that I can use for modeling an-isotropic hardening?
