Dear friends
I am modelling composite delamination using ABAQUS, i used 3D elementsin my model. my question is that how can i assign cohesive properties to a cohesive surface between to solids?
Should i treat the cohesive section like a continuum with thickness?
Is there any way exept the last one?
Is there any other aproach to model delamination?which one is better?
Thanks.
Dear Colleagues:
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the 2010 ASME IMECE in Vancouver, to be held November 12-18, 2010. Our minisymposium is on "Multiphysics Simulations and Experiments for Solids", and is the continuation of a very successful minisymposium held at the 2009 IMECE that resulted in more than 50 presentations. This year's focus areas are:

I often read on books that linear triangles do not have membrane locking for large deformations of plates/shells. I completely don't understand how this is possible. If one uses the well-known CST, stretching is measured as the increase in lenght of each edge of the triangle. Then, in the limit of the membrane stiffness going to infinity, clearly the solution cannot approximate any bending-dominated state, but rather it will be always rigid on general meshes (i.e. Minkowski theorem for convex bodies), allowing at most bending about few lines on very regular ones. What am I missing?
Hello,
I deal with nonlinear behaviour of reinforced concrete structures and masonry structures in my PhD work. I use army manual for defining of pressures of blast load. Now, I want to try model blast load as moving part of air. My problem is, that our university has licence only for ansys, not for ls dyna or autodyn. Do you think, it is possible to model blast wave in ansys flotran? If there is somebody with experience of blast load modeling in ansys flotran, please, I'll be glad for any idea.

Hi all,
I am going simulate a plate of porous material (SiC) to evaluate its strengh.
Would someone share some knowledge on the mechanics of the porous materials.
Thanks.

These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010. The title of the notes was then "toughness". In revising the notes for the class in 2014, I have changed the title of the notes to "Linear elastic fracture mechanics".
You can access all notes for the course on fracture mechanics.
