Hi:
I was trying to model two beam. One is a cantiliver beam with horizontal axis and another one is beam like vertical axis rigid body. When I apply load to the 1st beam it should bend but should not exceed the rigid body. Buy in my model the 1st beam completly ignore the rigid body when deform. I am using Aabqus cae 6.9.
Anyone has any suggestion or tips , please let me kmow.
Thanks
The AMD executive committee (EC) just announced the student travel awards and best paper contest for IMECE 2010. Between 10 and 15 students will be selected for travel grants of $750 each. The students who receive travel awards will also become eligible to participate in the best paper contest. This is a great opportunity for young students to present their work and meet other researchers during IMECE 2010.
My research objective is to import surface roughness (topography) data obtained from metrology instrument (in txt form) and to build a finite element model from this. can anyone has same experience as that of mine n can help me in this regard. do someone has matlab m-file to do this and can send me???
thanks in advance
Hi all
I'm looking for a reference paper to comparison the results of
bending of circular (annular) plate rested on elastic foundation.
A rubber band can be stretched several times its original length. This large deformation may hide its brittleness: the strain to rupture can be markedly reduced by the presence of a crack. This lecture describes fracture mechanic of highly deformable materials, such as rubbers and gels.
I am new to ABAQUS. Can someone please tell me how to apply a periodic boundary condition using *EQUATION key word in ABAQUS?
Applications are invited for one or more postdoctoral positions at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University. The projects will be related to elastomer materials with relevance to their optical properties and device applications. Prior hands‐on experience in one or more areas such as polymer materials synthesis, optical measurements, polymer processing is required. The project will have a strong experimental focus and will encompass elastomer processing, physical characterization, mechanics as well as fabrication of devices based on actuation with elastomers.
