FRP wrapped concrete column modeling
I want to model a concrte column wrapped with FRP for my thesis work. i need help for the modeling of this column for my thesis. So if anybody can help me regarding then it would be highly appreciable and helpful for me
To plot a variable
Hi everybody,
I have a question. I am using a UMAT and calculating a variable (tau=resolved shear stress) within the UMAT using other variables calculated in the UMAT for each time step. Now I want to plot this variable. How can I do this? This variable is not only a function of pre-defined variables but also a function of variables calculated in the UMAT.
I tried going through the USDFLD, UFIELD and UVARM subroutines but could not figure this out
Spatial Control in the Heterogeneous Nucleation of Water
The attached paper was recently published
in Applied Physics Letters. We show for the first time that Nucleation and
Condensation of Water can be spatially controlled. Such control of nucleation
phenomena and the fundamental findings discussed in the paper have implications
for the Energy and Water industry. The paper can be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?APL/95/094101/1
Lightweight structures
For those of you interested in the geometry of light frameworks and models for extremely porous materials, here are a couple of links. The first one contains two 3D objects. You need Java to view them.

Fracture mechanics
hi..
if any one having thie paper "Bowie, O.L., "Analysis of an Infinite Plate Containing Radial Cracks
Onginating from the Boundary of an Internal Circular Hole," Journal of
Mathematics and Physics, Vol. 35, pp. 60-71 (1956)"
please send to me...

ABAQUS crack tip modeling
I am working on fracture mechanics , calculating K and J in ABAQUS
Can you please tell me how to model singularity at crack tip in Hypermesh/ABAQUS -CAE.
Do we have any tutorial available on internet ?

Can somebody suggest a general-purpose object oriented design of the finite element?
I am looking into object oriented programing of the finite element method. I don't know whether somebody can provide a general-purpose oop design of a general finite element program, say a linear static analysis of a 3D solid. Or somebody who are experienced in this field point out some good references for this purpose. It will be better if the oop design is language free, i.e. not directly related with implementation in a specific language such as c++. Thanks in advance.
Post-doctoral fellow position in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics @ Northwestern
We are currently seeking candidates for a Post-doctoral Fellow position in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Northwestern University. The successful candidate is expected to possess a Ph.D. in engineering or science and must have experience in the area of computational mechanics, broadly involving computational inelasticity, finite elements and continuum mechanics. Knowledge of discrete mechanics is desirable but not essential.
