Pinching in reinforced concrete structures
Hi!
Can anyone explain to me what is the meaning of pinching in reinforced concrete structures?
Thanks

hyperelastic or elastic skin model in Abaqus
Dears, I am quite new in the area of Abaqus models and biomechanics. My background is related with textiles. However I am a post doc in Belgium at the moment and my new task is to model a fingertip skin section under the influence of contact with different objects.

Crack propagation in composites in presence of shear and pressure loads
Hi,
Assume that we have a composite structure consists of isotropic layers with
a delamination (separation) between the layers. There is a compressive load
applying normal to layers surfaces and hence normal to the
delamination (crack) which closes the delamination, and a shear load tangential to the
crack surface.
help friction+shear
Dear friends,
Looking for a possible solution of a problem with external axial friction moment on a shear bolt.I tried to get literatures related with this type of combined loading,but not succeed much.If u can help me it would be great!
