Hiya,

I have different stress strain curves at different hours (1hr, 10hr, 100hr).  for a constant stress, the strain increases with increase in number of hours(creep)

They look like stress-strain curves at different strain rates.

now I want to define a material card with these curves with above mentioned number of hours.

I kindly request you to suggest me a CARD in ABAQUS which takes care of this behavior.

Thanks a ton for your help, in advance !

Saint-Venant's Principle is important in the theory and application of elasticity and its proof or formulation is a major attraction  for authors. Among others，Toupin's Theorem plays  the most influential  role in the history of  development  concerning Saint-Venant's Principle.

A postdoctoral position is available starting June 1^st within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. The project entails an investigation of the key features associated with ductile fracture in aluminum alloys.  The investigation will utilize a concurrent discrete-dislocation atomistic simulation framework and will likely

A one year (renewable) post-doc position is avalaible at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes, France.

The research deals with the simulation of complex cracking patterns in composites using

 the eXtended Finite Element method (X-FEM).

To apply : a CV + name of at least two references.

I think it would be useful to collect a list of most useful sites, to start with iMechanica-look-alike.  Not exactly similar but a good site for CFD is http://www.cfd-online.com/.  This incidentally suggests us some "ways" to improve iMechanica.  (see my other blog PROPOSAL for iMechanica node/2996)
