nonlinear buckling analysis in ansys

Submitted by firozahmed49 on

hi, i am modeling a composite shell in ansys for nonlinear bucklin analysis.

i have to apply a displacement from one end keeping radial and circumferential degree constant. I have used shell 4node 181 for modelling and element elemrnt size 10.

Also i have to applied a torque of 0.0005 degree so as to perform torsional analysis on shell.

I am confused how to apply this axial displacement and radial degree of displacement to shell in ANSYS 11.

PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

PhD studentship, In vivo measurement of strains in intervertebral discs

Submitted by Chris W Smith on

I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).

Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)
