Solids Textbooks

Submitted by John M. Kolinski on

      The texts from Timoshenko and Landau and Lifschitz are classics. I think learning the physical approach of L&L is particularly valuable. The following sections are available in L&L:

 1. Fundamental Equations

 2. Equilibrium of Rods and Plates

3. Elastic Waves

4. Thermal Conduction and Viscosity in Solids

Look for insightful physical explanations, and expect to read with a pen and paper at your side, to understand exactly the brilliance behind each statement made.

Create a crack on 2D plate using ABAQUS, looking for the stress intensity factor

Submitted by eayaktw on

Hi all,

I am a new user to ABAQUS, and, i am trying to create a crack on a 2D plate by using ABAQUS, and hence look for the stress intensity factor(material: PMMA)

However, i really dun know wut to do after i have created the part (set up the coordinate). 

Could anyone please give me the procedure? (PLZ, PLZ, PLZ) 

Thank you very much.
