Immediate Vacancy Exists in Computational Nanomechanics

Submitted by meguid on

An Immediate vacancy exists for high calibre  postdoctoral fellows with interest in multiscale computational nanomechanics, nano-modified composites,  testing and validation. Specifically, we are interested in determining the influence of nanofillers on polymer composites. Candidates should expect excellent facilities, good salaries and exceptional working conditions.

Concreate Prestress Model Not converge in step Loading

Submitted by Touchy on

Dear Sir,

 

             I 've mater thesis project about prestress concreate bridge. On the first step I used Bolt load for represent prestress on Tendon

to hold all bridge block. And second step I apply load on vertical load such as 3 point bending test. On the first step I can run it completed. But on the second step it not converge. I need some comment for help mesolve this problem

Cohesive zone elements

Submitted by Muhammad U. Farooq on

Hi,

Can anyone help me to connect the cohesive zone element? I made these elements but problem is when I want to displace one phase from other it seems there is not any bonding. If someone can send me an example code to be used in Ansys and then I could try with my problem.

 Please help me in this regard.

 Best regards,

 

Farooq
