Stiffer beam n incomplete analysis

Submitted by SAJIB on

hi 

i am sajib,I am very very new ABAQUS user.



i am modeling RCC simply supported BEAM STRENGTHEN IN FLEXURE WITH FRP using ABAQUS.



I HAVE USED S4R FOR FRP, 

C3D8R FOR SOLID AND T3D2 AS STEEL 

cracked conrete model used,elastic plastic model for steel n elastic model for frp

I have used correct E values.

Hi, thanks for your attention!!!

I have recently read the book, Introduction to Micromechanics and Nanmechanics, written by ShaoFan, Li. This is
really a good book for the freshmen who are interested in
micromechanics area. 

But one problem puzzled me for along time,  the puzzlement i have put it in the attached file.

If you know the answer,please tell me. You kindly reply will be great appreciated! Thank you very much!!!

How we can calculate stress intensity factor for bimaterial interface

Submitted by kaslantas on

Hi friends,

I would like to calculate stress intensity factor for bimaterial interface using finite element method. Do you have any suggestion about it? Actually I know a method. According to this method,

1-obtain crack face displacement using numerical solution

2- use dundur parameter 

 

Is this method is correct/enough?

 

As you know Franc2D code calcuate SIF for mode I and mode I. But I do not know this code can calculate SIF for bimaterial interface? 

Thanks 

Book Review

Micromechanics---loosely speaking, is the study of heterogeneities in materials and its consequences for material or continuum behavior. This encompasses studies of inclusions, dislocations, cracks or more generally defects. A related problem is that of "coarse-graining" or in other words the effective homogenized properties of a heterogeneous material. The latter is a recurring theme in all of physical sciences not just solid mechanics. Micromechanics, a formidable subject by all means, dominated a substantial part of the history of solid mechanics. Several of our Timoshenko awardees have been associated with this subject, e.g. Eshelby, Hill, Keller, Irwin, Rice among others.
