Finite Element Analysis of an Axially Moving Beam Nested Within a Stationary Beam

Submitted by jadav.das on Fri, 05/06/2011 - 18:49

Hi All,

I have a problem of solving an axially moving beam nested within a stationary, simple supported envelope beam using ProMechanica. If anyone knows how to deal such problem in ProMechanica or any other FEM software it will be a really great help. I am trying to describe the problem in details.

Defining density as a solution dependent variable in VUMAT (Abaqus/Explicit)?

VUMAT

Hi All,

I am trying to simulate tooth deformation. It involves that the density of tooth changes with deformation. I want to know is it possible to define density as a solution dependent variable in VUMAT?

Thank you in advance!

tribology

I am currently accepting applications for two Ph.D. students starting in January 2012. The students will join my research group in the Materials Engineering department at McGill University. Students in my research group are trained to be world class researchers in the fields of surface engineering and coatings tribology.
