Implementation of contact algorithm?
Dear All.
I am looking for a sample code demonstrating contact algorithm in finite element methods. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

MRI-R2 has been posted
The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI-R²) Recovery and Reinvestment is now posted. This is a good way to build up the needed major research instrumentation
The deadline for proposals will be August 10, 2009.
A link can be found through the page www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/mri (preferred to keep abreast of updates) or through the NSF-wide page at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260.
potential functional for material exhibts non-associative elastoplastic response
Does anyone knows where I can find any paper discuss the existence of potential functinoal for materials that violate the maximum plastic dissipation principle (due to non-convex yield function and/or non-associately fluw rule)?
Flow Rate through a gas pipe
Hi I'm trying to work out the following problem
The pressure at the start of a 180Km stainless steel natural gas pipeline is 4MPa and at the end is 2MPa. If the diameter of the pipe is 0.4m, what will be the gas flow rate through the system? (ignore losses other than friction)
(for natural gas, density = 40 Kg/m3, viscosity = 11x10-6)
This is from an exam paper and at the end of the paper there's a moody diagram with roughness values, the closest to stainless steel is commercial steel and has a k value of 0.045 mm.

ansys tutorials
Hi,
I search a ansys tutorial to simulate the fragmentation of a solid body in interaction with explisive (ex pipe bomb, hand grenade...). If someone can help me! I use ansys v11.
Thanks
Structure Design, Moldflow analysis.
I design, I love.
We focus on structure design. with perfect plastic, sheetmetal, diecast part part design experience.
We can do tolerance anlaysis for complex assemblies base on 6 sigmas.
We do Moldflow analysis for injection plastic part.
Maxwell viscoelastic model in ABAQUS
Hi Guys,
I have the shear relaxation modulus given as: G(t)=Go*EXP(-t/tau). In ABAQUS, the normalized shear modulus for one term in Prony series is given as: g(t)=Go(1-g1(1-EXP(-t/tau)). The parameters that must be entered in ABAQUS are g1 and tau. For Maxwell (in our case) G(t=infinity)=0.
Consequently, g1=1-G(t=infinity)/Go=1. ABAQUS requires that g1 must be less than 1. Has anyone encountered this problem?
thanks

Time Integration Schemes
I want to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of explicit and implicit time integration schemes? Can any one suggest me any book which is also available to free download.
Thanks
