thermal radiation analysis in ansys workbench 12

Submitted by whyakhan on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 10:15

Hello everybody,

I have been assigned the task of performing thermal analysis of electronic components that involve conduction and radiation only and determine the temperature distribution on them. I am doing this in ansys workbench 12. Since I am doing thermal analysis for the first time so having problems.

Does anybody have tutorials related to performing thermal analysis in ansys workbench. Please share.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Atomistic Modeling of Materials Failure by M. J. Buehler

Submitted by Denvid Lau on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 08:26

This book is an introduction to molecular and atomistic modeling techniques applied to solid deformation and fracture. Focusing on various brittle, ductile and geometrically confined materials, this book includes computational methods at the atomistic scale, and describes how these techniques can be used to model the dynamics of crack, dislocations and other deformation mechanisms.

getting interfacial strain

software

interfacial strain

i have modelled a 3D RC beam and strengthened it with FRP and used cohesive elment for modelling the adhesive .

so for finding theinterfacial strain between concrete and FRP ,which strain must I opt for namely , E, NE, LE, PE

And i want to know what theses stand for(E11, NE11, LE22) . I hav read it in manual but can I get more information on this

I think this book is a good complement to the course Fracture Mechanics ES 247. There are several reasons:

Effects of mismatch strain and substrate surface corrugation on morphology of supported monolayer graphene

instability

van der Waals interaction

In a previous work, substrate-modulated morphology of graphene was analyzed using a numerical Monte Carlo method. Here we present an analytical approach that explicitly relates the van der Waals interaction energy to the surface corrugation and the interfacial properties. Moreover, the effect of mismatch strain is considered, which predicts a strain-induced instability under a compressive strain and reduced corrugation under a tensile strain.

Determination of strain energy release rate in an adhesive by using VCCT-Method with abaqus

Submitted by kianoosh kiai on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 14:26

Hello dear friends, I want to simulate a fracture process in an adhesive by the using of Double Cantilever Beam (DCB). My approach is the determination of strain energy release rate by the using of Virtual crack closure technique (VCCT). But I don’t know how can I begin with this. Can some one help me. Thanks a lot before because of your help.

Subsea Integrity

Submitted by Henry Tan on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 11:48

I am teaching Subsea Integrity for the MSc students majoring in Subsea Engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. This is a course that combines the fundamental principles (corrosion, fracture, fatigue and material selection) with the industry applications (subsea integrity management and implementation, cathodic protection, case studies on subsea reliability and engineering assurance).
