Mortar FEM

Submitted by sachinsinghgautam on

Hello,

  I am interested about the Mortar Finite Element Methods. I have a general idea about what it is about. I am interested in some text which can get me started. While looking for some books on the subject I could find 2 (one phd thesis in book form by Yang and a unpublished book from CRC press to be out by June 2011) and some on books on Domain decomposition methods. Since I dont have easy access to library facilties, I would like to know if there are papers whichcan get me started.

 Thanks a lot,

 Dr. Sachin Singh Gautam

PBC in ABAQUS

Submitted by ABAqirl on

Hello everybody, i am new in abaqus, is anyone who knows how to apply periodic boundary conditions, for example for unit cell. The piece of code would be very much appreciated

 

for example ´

if i have on the left hand side node set NSET1, on the right hand site NSET2 than i should use equation like this for periodic boundary conditions in x-direction?

*EQUATION

NSET1, 1,1, NSET2, 1, 1????

Please help 

Best regards

Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation (SSDIC)

Submitted by Francois Barthelat on

Following our recent article on this new method, we are making our Matlab routines available. The package contains standard DIC, SSDIC, plus a few extras. More info here

“Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation” (SSDIC) is based on DIC, but in addition SSDIC can capture displacement discontinuities near shear bands or cracks, where standard DIC fails.
