As a follow-up to the discussion here, I am attaching a PUFE homework that I have assigned in 2006 and 2008 when I have offered a meshfree/pufe course. This might be of some help to those who have an interest in partition-of-unity enriched finite element methods.
Hello:
My name is Eric and I am working on my MS thesis project. I have been tasked with analyzing a reinforced concrete column specimen in Abaqus and comparing the analysis results with the experimental measurements. The column is subjected to cyclic lateral loading.
NEED AN INFORMATION ABOUT CALCULATING K(STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR) USING J INTEGRAL METHOD.......
It has been quite some time (more than 1.5 years) that I had touched upon the topic of the physical bases of FEM in general, and of the general weighted residual (WR) approach in particular, at iMechanica (see here).
The position I then took was that there is no known physical basis at all for the WR approach---despite its loving portrayals in mathematical terms, or its popularity.
My question is how we can predict the crack growth rate and direction for a structure under cyclic loading in such a way that both plasticity and creep has been built in it.

I am working on FE Modelling of Composite hollow rectangular section beam in Ansys. When I select beam 188 element, there is no need of inputting real constants. Where do i put the initial values in pre-processing????Pls do help me,,I am new to applying Composite material in Ansys.....pls...
Does anyone know if it is possible for diffuse and localized bifurcation to happen simontanously in a incompressible slab? If so, which one is more likely to occur first?
