Hello everyone,

I am currently a doctoral candidate at Louisiana State University, and expect to complete my PhD degree requirements by Fall 2010. My doctoral dissertation is conducted under the direction of Prof. M. M. Khonsari, and looks at the use of a relatively new methodology for the fatigue of structural components. In my research, I developed an effective and new criterion for fatigue life monitoring of the components subjected to cyclic loading based on thermodynamic entropy concept.

Hello All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to run ANSYS as a solver through MATLAB ? I want to run optimization in MATLAB and change some variables whether they are geometry or material variables and run ANSYS through MATLAB to solve especially ANSYS CFX or Workbench where I can have multiphysics.

If this is possible, I would appreciate it if you can share the method of how to do so.

Thank you all

Maher

Dear Friends,

I need help for modeling RC beam, fracture mechanics of plain concrete and measurement of concrete creep with ANSYS or ABAQUS. I would really appreciation if you could send me those mentioned PDFs.

Thanks

Hi all,

         Recently  i tried  Hydrostatic pressure stress element removal criterion in Abaqus(19.2.8 Dynamic failure models in the 6.9 manual) . I used 75 Mpa as cut-off pressure stress and after which the material fails. During post - processing i tried to measure the pressure stress in an element that failed but the element did not fail at 75 Mpa and i checked few other elements, also i found the same thing none of them failed at 75 Mpa. What could be the possible reason? 

Thanks

Mike
