Hi everyone,
I just started to use the Abaqus FE program and I would like to ask some help. I would like to determine the elastic properties of a composite material therefore I designed an representative element but I need to constraint the nodes of each surface to achieve uniform deformation at each nodes on the surface. I tried the multiple point constraints but I alvalys got an error message saying that:
The interfacial strength is a very important material property for composite materials and other hybrid materials with different stress distributions. Will the interfacial stress distribution have a significant effect on the interfacial strength measurement?
hello everybody
when i am trying to make a creep analysis using abaqus and it is the first time i do that
when i submit the job, there is an error and a message appear this message is:
ERROR: DEGREE OF FREEDOM 11 AND AT LEAST ONE OF DEGREES OF FREEDOM 1 THRU 6
MUST BE ACTIVE IN THE MODEL FOR *COUPLED TEMP-DISP. CHECK THE
PROCEDURE AND ELEMENT TYPES USED IN THIS MODEL.
A PhD position is available in the area of computational multiscale modeling of engineering materials in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at University of North Texas (UNT). Financial support will be provided through research assistantship. The student will participate in research activities to study material defects, microstructure evolution, and mechanical behavior of crystalline metals, alloys, and nano-composites for a wide range of important applications in areas such as energy and aerospace.
Dear Colleagues,
Let us continue viewing the efficiency of the application of various optimization methods on practical optimization problems.
The study of cellular solids is greatly influenced by the honeycomb. However, the honeycomb is not a component as whole for bees. Instead, the bee only care the shape and mechanical property of the cells, but in the engineering field, a cell of honeycomb is seldom used. We use them as plate, shell and so on. I think we ignore another porous material called cocoons, the protection to the most fragile period of insects. It is always bearing the load as a whole component.
Mechanics community,
Please find attached the spring 2010 edition of the ASME Committee on Constitutive Equations Newsletter. Included in the newsletter are short articles on "Constitutive Modeling of Skeletal Muscle Tissue" and "Nonlocal Modeling of Materials".
Thanks,

Hi everybody,
is there anyone who is familiar with element deletion or removal to predict crackopening in RC member model in ABAQUS?
I've made a 2D model of RC beam in abaquse with brittle cack properties and brittle failure but I could not get any result. Can I make my model by concrete damage plasticity and using abaqus standard to apply element removal?
I will really appreciate anyone who helps me to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I am looking for papers on the dynamics of AFM cantilevers in contact with non linear material samples. In particular, I am interested in forced armonic vibrations of the catinlevers.
I have seen many papers on intermittent contact (or tapping) which has a number of additional problems w.r.t. the contact mode.
Many thanks for the help.
Pasquale V.
