Dear Colleague,

We are glad to announce the International Conference VipIMAGE 2009 - II ECCOMAS THEMATIC CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL VISION AND MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING will be held in the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, on October 14-16, 2009.

How about COSMOL in multiphysics (FEA + circuit co-simulation)?

Submitted by Tang Lihua on

Hi, all

Is there any guy try to do system-level simulation combining FEA and circuit analysis in any multi-physics softwares? I want to simulate the energy harvesting from piezoelectric material, through some diodes and into capacitor. Abaqus only can give voltage. Ansys has some electric elements but some non-linear element such as diode is not compatible with piezoelectric element. Any body know about whether COSMOL can do this simulation job? 

Thanks, 

Energy Balance while doing impact analysis

Submitted by Raghunandan on

I am doing an impact analysis in LS-Dyna . When I include failure strain data  I am not able to get the energy balance in GLSTAT . So I tracked it using MATSUM . But there is huge difference in the energy input and energy output. SO I ran the same without failurestrains. Here I got the energy balance. Can somebody let me know whether there is some issue in my postprocessing the results while using failure strain?

Need help/advise constructing positive-definite Wendland Compact-Support RBF Matrix

Submitted by Olumide on

Hello,



I am trying to construct a matrix using Wendland's Compact-Support RBF as described in the following the paper, http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~rheingan/pubs/smi2001.pdf . In particular, I'm using the C2, d = 3 RBF: (1 - r)^4*(4r + 1). It seems quite simple enough, but none of the matrices I've constructed are positive definite, although Wendland's RBFs guarantee positive definite matrices -- the sparse solver I intend to use requires positive definite matrices.



Help regarding 2D co-rotational beam formulation

Submitted by yawlou on

I have implemented a 2D co-rotational truss formulation in matlab.  I get identical results to OpenSEES.

Now I'm trying to implement a 2D co-rotational beam formulation.  I have followed the simple formulation in Crisfield's book volume 1.  It seems like this should be a fairly straight forward extension of the truss formulation.  I have rederived everything Crisfield has done and obtained the same results, yet something is still incorrect.

Free Energy

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

For a system in thermal contact with the rest of the world, we have described three quantities: entropy, energy, and temperature. We have also described the idea of a constraint internal to the system, and associated this constraint to an internal variable.
