IOSO application for casting processes

Submitted by IOSOnier on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 11:18

Dear Colleagues,

New practical case studies made with the aides of IOSO in new engineering fields prove universal capabilities of IOSO Optimization Technology applicable to wide variety of real-life problems. Let us provide you the brief description of the problem that was solved by Italian engineering consultancy company XC Engineering for the well-known Swiss production firm Buhler. The problem was to search for the optimal velocity of the piston in an HPDC process.

mechanical test

I am preparing my PHD in the National Technical Univercity of Athens (Faculty of Applied Sciences ,Department of Mechanics). We have recently bought an instron fatigue model 1276 (static capacity 2000 kNt ,dynamic capacity 1000 KNt) from the Greek Army. The machine is in bad condition and it needs service. Unfortunately , the manuals of the machine are missing.The machine is quite old and it is very difficult to find the mannuals from the manufacturer . Does anybody has the manuals or knows where i can find them?

ansys command using IRLF,1

Submitted by dileepade on Sun, 04/11/2010 - 06:25

opinion

what is importance of doing IRLF

1 command

sir/madam...

i m little bit confused about doing inerta relief command analysing free free model...such as aircraft....

i have an quey that.. if command IRLF,1 used in ansys for static analysis... but model is in dynamic ?

what will be the the displacement and stress plot using IRLF,1 command....will these simmulate the correct model??

please guide me in this regards..

abaqus - ball indentation- high value of stress

Submitted by aneeshkg on Sat, 04/10/2010 - 18:02

Dear all,

I have modeled a cyclic ball indentation problem in
Abaqus. The sphere has been modeled as axisymmetric rigid surface while
the plate is axisymmetric deformable. The material data fed in for the
plate has been obtained from low cycle fatigue experiments and the
combined hardening model using half-cycle has beem employed.

Apart from this, the loading is displacement-controlled and sphere
is the master surface while the plate is slave surface. The other
