Nice and low-cost introductory texts
There are two very nice companion texts on continuum mechanics and nonlinear elasticity printed by Dover recently: "Continuum mechanics" by Spencer and "An introduction to the theory of elasticity" by Atkin and Fox. Great and fairly affordable reading!
Mode-3 FEA using ansys.
I need to compute SIF for a CT specimen-like geometry in mode-3 using ansys. How can I go about?
calculation of Stress in composites
Hi engineers,
I am working in fiber composites with ABAQUS, but I have a problem,
I can't calculate stress and other element variables, can you help me ?
Too,I have to use ABAQUS/CAE for model and here is my *.inp file.
Thanks for your help

reflection boundary condition
I am planning on using finite difference coding to solve a wave equation. The domain is a rectangular domian with wave reflection on the boundaries. Does anyone know how to set the reflection boundary condition?
Noncovalent bonds dictate cell rheology
Over the last ten years, a peculiar behavior of living cells is revealed: their modulus increases weakly with loading frequency (the so-called weak power law behavior) (for a pure elastic solid, the slope is 0; for a viscous fluid, the slope is 1). The underlying mechanism is not clear at all; although a phenomenological soft glass rheology model (a model based on a disordered structure system) has been proposed, it cannot explain the multi-power laws at different loading frequencies (see Stamenovic et al, Biophys J Letter, 2007).
Runing of input file
Dear friends,
if i have one input file i will import by file---model---inputfile
the i will see what they did in othermodules, for learning from exapmle problem
but if i have morethan one input file mean main input file and node information and element information both are seaprate input for reduc thesize of file.
how to import via part--model--
so how to merge this more than one input file
thanks and regards

Reg-element deletion
Dear Friends.
i am working on machining simulation.
when the element reaches the ultimate stress it should remove(chip flow) from part.
i used in input file
*shear failiure,type=johnson cook,Element deletion=yes
but still the removal is not good
so what can i do.
and if need to erite usersubroutine in VUMAT
please give me some information about that
if any body having usersoubroutin for element deletion case pease send me
please please

problem in modeling a concrete
HI, I have a problème in modeling a refractory concrete, How can I draw a simple of a concrete
