Periodic Boundary Conditions
Hi all,
I want to analyse unit cell model in ansys.
Can anyone tell me how to apply periodic boundary conditions on it?
Is there any option in Ansys 11 or we have to create macro for that?
Thanks in advance.........

Post-doctoral position in Mechanical Engineering at NUS
A post-doctoral position is immediately available in our research group in the area of micromechanics of materials focusing on failure. Candidates with experience in computational modeling (MD/ meso-mechanics/ continuum mechanics) of crystalline/ non-crystalline (including polymeric) materials are encouraged to apply. Initial appointment will be for one year and may be extended by another year depending on the funding situation and performance.
If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.
Help for explaining a strange problem related with beam shear stiffness
There is a very strange problem puzzled quite a few in the rotor blades (including helicopter blades and wind turbine blades) community. We hope some mechanician on this board can help us explain the situation.

The Understated Contributor to International Economic Recovery
While R&D topics continue
to lead as a beacon for economic recovery, a crucial part of the R&D process
continues to receive little to no attention. And make no mistake, you are about
to learn of the single most important factor in the advancement of new or
improved material technologies around the world.

dewatering during excavation
when I model excavation with low permeablity soil problem is not converging,due to the negligible vaule of excess pore pressure throught the soil.How can I resove this problem for the real excavation time .(If I run the analysis within very short period of time , results can be obtained under undrained ccondition)
how can I model dewatering during excavation using ABAQUS
