hi,

I am trying to model an elastic sheet which has built-in curvatures in two perpendicular directions and is constrained at the edges. I was unable to find a way to provide the built-in curvatures in the abaqus manuals. I would be grateful if someone could help me in this regard.

SEM's 11th International Symposium on MEMS & Nano. will be held in Indianapolis IN, June 7-9, 2010.

I am helping organize session on Characterization of Thin Films and would like to welcome abstract submission in related subject.

 Hi, this is Ravindra

I am doing my M.Tech project in JNNCE college Shimoga, Karnataka.

 I am facing some problem with the ansys, my problem is to solve the 3D rotational problem in ansys, in this the constraining and the loads are the major problem im not able to solve this problem can you guide me.

The attached PDF provides a derivation of Green-Lagrange strain-displacement relations in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates.

The following article shows that the linear elasticity theory does
not predict well inextensional modes of vibration of a single-wall
zig-zag tube.

Hi all!!!

In Finite Element Method (FEM), Hermite interpolation functions are used for interpolation of dependent variable and its derivative.

In FEM books, Hermite interpolation functions are directly written in terms of Lagrange interpolation functions. No derivations are given. I searched in Numerical methods books also for derivation of Hermite interpolation functions. I couldn't find.

I am looking for the origin (basically the derivation) of Hermite interpolation functions. Kindly help me.

Thanx in advance and regards,
