a good reference for discrete element method

Dear friends

I am using ABAQUS for thermal analysis using laser moving heat source. I have successfully implemented DFLUX for thermal and subsequent stress analyses. My question is: How can I progressively delete (during moving heat source) those elements in transient thermal analysis whose temperature is above melting temperature? My intention is to analyse  their effect on stress fields in  subsequent coupled stress analysis.

Dear All

I want to knnow what is the Strain VAlues at the SA-387(or 11/4 Cr 1/2 Mo Ni Si) plate at 940'F and in creep RAnge at time of 1000000 Hrs of loading...how to find Strain Values at SAme TEmp & Time and Diff loading of mtrls like 10,100, 1000 and So on..

Please Help...

Welcome to the January 2010 issue! In the issue of May 2007 , Prof. Xiaodong Li outlined the existing experimental methods for mechanical characterization of 1D nanostructures. In this issue, I will discuss along the same line but focus on experimental methods enabled by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

  Happy New Year to all the members of the iMechanica family.
