I will be setting up an open source project for parallel finite element analysis in the next month or two. I am just wondering what the community's opinion is regarding the best repository to use.
SourceForge? Google Software? Others?
Your opinions are welcome.
Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time.
Genuine shock waves and adiabatic hypothesis.

A question for those interested in the history of mechanics. We have Hooke's law for 2D stress-strain and a generalised Hooke's law for 3D stress states. Maybe I have missed something in my reading of history, but since it appears that it was Thomas Young and not Hooke who related stress and strain (Hooke looked only at force - displacement), why don't we use Young's law or a generalised Young's law?
Hi everyone,
I am quite new in ANSYS Classic and now I had to realize a serious problem. After building a steel frame from beam4 elements I tried to define pressure on beams.
I can not find the direction of the pressure. It could work in or perpendicular to the plane of the frame (for example).
Could anybody help me, how to define the direction?
I have a model (ball) and would like to get the its eigen frequencies and eigen vectors (modal analysis), in fact i should not need to apply loads, it is just solution to K-w^2 M = 0, how can it be done
We wrote a book chapter about the role of the actin cytoskeleton in mechanosensation. The book title is Mechanosensitivity and Mechanotransduction, edited by A, Kamkin and I. Kiseleva and published by Springer-Verlag, New York.".
In this chapter, we try to integrate mechanics, materials science, biophysics and biology together to give a most updated view of this field. We also want to introduce the feedback loop concept to mechanicians who are interested in studying biological systems.
Hi, everyone~
Has anyone done MD simulation about projectile? Like a rigid body penetrating a thin target? I have recently heard that a group in Uni of southern california did such a simulation before. I will be appreciated if someone could afford me some information.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Xu
