What is the Difference betweeen Stress and Pressure?

Submitted by erpankajgulati on

 

Stress is the property of the body under loads. It is defined as a sort of reaction produced by the molecules of the body under some action which tends to produce some deformation. this intensity of these additional forces produced per unit area is known as stress.

 

 

Pressure is defined as force per unit area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface.

 

 

Is it fine?

Perturbation technique based on forward difference approximation

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi,

 I am trying to implement (in Abaqus) the elasticity tensor using a numerical approach.  I have come across a paper by C.Miehe (Numerical computation of algorithmic (consistent) tangent moduli in large-strain computational inelasticity, 1996).

There are a few things I don't quite understand.  

Simple ANSYS Problem

Submitted by cm005429 on

Hello,

 

I have a simple problem but I am having a mental block concerning combining three different materials with different poisson's ratio and modulus.  The problem is a plate with a hole and I can generate a mesh and apply load but I can not seem to create three materials and combine them together.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here is what my input file looks like:

FSI

Submitted by enerjit on

Hi,

I am doing a Fluid structure interaction problem related to Gas turbine burner. Can any one tell me if FSI is possible in ANsys Mechanical?. Or its just possible with ANsys CFX or any other version. If its possible with all of them, then whihc is better one for this application.

Thanking you,

Abhijit
