Hi.

This is a material's problem.

I'm trying to simulate in FEA (Ansys) a part of a rectangular duct. this duct works with a flue gases qith elevated temparature (aporx 300°C).

Does anyone knows any standard (ASTM or similar) or any bibliography who gives data in form of tables or graphics that shows the variation of young modulus against temperature variation for materials?

Thanks

Hi everybody!

I am now using Abaqus to model concrete cracks by using cohesive element and I have got two questions regarding this:

1. cohesive element, as known, is often employed to model interface especially when the integrity and strength of the interface is of interest. For my problem, there is no real interface, however, I impose a cohesive element interface artificially in the concrete and to see the crack propagation. Is this applicable theoretically?

range within that generation, had things easier, I think, than any group

before or after. I entered Lehigh for undergraduate studies one year

after Sputnik. It was a time when support for science and engineering

was enlarging fast, when opportunities were abundant. There were plenty
