Dear All,
I am new to simulations of carbon nanotubes, especially in their mechanical properties. My supposed tools are ab initio codes or md codes. I am looking for some references. Can someone introduce some classical papers or leading experts in this field.
Thanks.
I have a problem when a try to compile FEAP with visual studio 2008. The error is the next:
error #6633: The type of the actual arguments differs from the type of the dummy arguments.
I have tryed to compile several times but the error is the same.
I do not know if I have configure properly my visual studio or if it is a problem with mi FEAP.
Thank you very much.
Hi all,
I am currently working on Virtual crack closure technique. I met some problems with the local crack-front coordinate system. I wonder if i can find a detailed explanation on the coding of the local crack-front coordinate sytem.
Thanks a lot

hello,
I am using Ansys Workbench v11.0 to study the fracture of a structure.
I would like to add a crack in my structure, but I don' really know how to do it, since I don't have much experience of numerical simulation (actually, this is my first one in rupture mechanics).
So far, I have tried to design the crack with the Ansys Design Modeler (I have cut my piece, so that one part of it has the shape of the crack I want to study). But now, I can't manage to mesh it with Ansys Simulation.
During the study of FEM, I found the term "weak form" of differential equation, which is the integral form of a differential equation along with the boundary conditions for a boundary value problem. Now my question is that why the term "weak" has been used.
I am Umesh K Dwivedi, Lecturer, Amity University Raj., Jaipur. I did my PhD from polymer composite dept of AMPRI (CSIR) Bhopal in Sept. 2008. I have been working in composite
field (manufacturing, testing, analysis) for last 7 years. For my

This article will appear in Journal of ASTM International. I hope you find it useful.
