Help
Can anybody help me with piezoelectric modeling using abaqus cae? I am pretty new on this, I am looking at tutorials or *.cae files but I cannot find any. can you please reference me where to find them or maybe explain how it works? Thanks

cylinder with circumferential crack
hi...i m doing 2nd year mtech...i m getting an error while solving circumferential crack in cylinder using ANSYS...while calculating stress intensity factor(SIF) it shows the error as "all crack face nodes do not have the same z value in the currently active coordinate system"...please anyone let me know how to deal this error??

UEL for 2 or 3D element types
Dear iMechanica users,
I would like to write a UEL for 2 or 3D element types used in large deformation, but, I really have little experience in it. Is there any UEL example apart from the simple 1D example in Abaqus manual and the complicated one written by Eugenio (XFEM)?
Thanks,
Hadi
About interatomic potentials
Hi all,
I am starting to my phd project focusing on developing new interatomic potentials.
Would you please help introduce some of current research trends(such as review paper, existed potentials etc) on this field.
Thanks.

Potential energy of a string
Hi,
I have to use Hamilton pricinple to evaluate the diff. equation of motion of a string. As shown in the figure below, the string is hanged from one end and is free at the other. The flexural stiffness of the string is negligible.
I have a problem with the potential energy of the string! required in the Hamilton principle. Since the flexural stiffness of the string is assumed to be negligible, is there any other term for potential energy?

Exact solutions for the free in-plane vibrations of rectangular plates
All classical boundary conditions including two distinct types of simple support boundary conditions are formulated by using the Rayleigh quotient variational principle for rectangular plates undergoing inplane free vibrations. The direct separation of variables is employed to obtain the exact solutions for all possible cases. It is shown that the exact solutions of natural frequencies and mode shapes can be obtained when at least two opposite plate edges have either type of the simply-supported conditions, and some of the exact solutions were not available before.
