a littel help with composite analysis with ansys

Submitted by mitra on

hello!

i am completely new using ansys for composites. any suggestions regarding 'how to start' and 'what to refer' will be of great help for me.

please anyone help me out with this, i has to do 'fatigue analysis of composite laminate' as the part of my project work.

thanks in advance.

Compiling and Building TAUCS a library of sparse linear solvers

Submitted by Alejandro Orti… on

I would like to share the following information to all the iMechanica users interested in using TAUCS a library of sparse linear solvers. TAUCS is among the most used libraries of sparse linear solvers and, to my knowledge, its closest equivalent library is SuperLU. For your reference, TAUCS is used in the commercial software Mathematica by Wolfram Research. Its source code can be downloaded from

Dsflux or Dflux

Submitted by ttamsaout on

Hi Every one, 

I noticed one thing about specifying surface flux in abaqus/cae.  I specify user-defined surface flux in abaqus/cae, but the inp-file  writes *DsFlux as seen in the following lines,

** LOADS

**

** Name: Load-1   Type: Surface heat flux

*Dsflux

_PickedSurf28, SNU, 10.

When I submit the Job, I see this error

Error in job Essai: USER SUBROUTINE DFLUX IS MISSING

Job Essai: ABAQUS/Standard aborted due to errors. 

surface finish

Submitted by chinni on

hello every one

i am a student who is doing a project on surface finish of a turbine blade,

presently the surface roughness is 11.8 microns and i am trying to decrease the surface roughness to 0.1 micron

kindly suggest me the methods to acheive the above mentioned objective 

thanking you

Post-doctoral postion in Mechanical Engineering at NUS

Submitted by Shailendra on

I have an opening for a post-doctoral position starting early next year (Jan 2009) in the broad area of multi-scale mechanics of nano-crystalline (nc) materials. The focus will be on microstructure mediated failure processes in nc materials primarily using continuum mechanics based approaches, but informed by materials science.

If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.

Thanks,
