FSI Analysis of the Human Coughing Mechanism
We present an application of ADINA FSI in the study of the human coughing mechanism. The aim of the study is to help surgeons to position tracheal implants effectively. Please see

You can find many other examples of applications of ADINA in the analysis of multiphysics problems here:
Marc/Mentat: Von Mises Stress in cantilever beam
Hi,
I am performing a very simple cantilever analysis with 5 beam elements in Mentat. I get good results for deflection but Von Mises Stress is very small!! I was thinking that probably I need to connect the elements (rigid body?) or make nodal ties because the Moment Tensor is 0 in all 3 directions, but I don't know how to do it and I can't find an answer in the software documentation.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Review on Computational Fatigue efforts

Failure Theory Applications
A new section on applications has been added to the website on failure criteria. Six examples of failure applications are given which span the range from very ductile to very brittle isotropic and homogeneous materials. Summarizing two of the examples, first a very ductile polymer is examined wherein its tensile, compressive, and shear strengths are determined as influenced by a state of superimposed hydrostatic pressure. An interesting fallout from the example shows just how seriously in error the Mises criterion can be, even when applied to a ductile material.
