Journal Club Forum for April 15th: Fracture of Ferroelectrics

Submitted by Chad Landis on

Ferroelectric materials have seen applications as actuators (the fuel injection system in the latest BMWs), sensors (naval sonar systems), and ferroelectric nonvolatile random access memories (FRAMs). For actuators and sensors it is the piezoelectric behavior of these materials that is exploited, while for FRAMs the ability of the material to “switch” polarization states is the essential feature for the application. 

Continuum interpretation of virial stress in molecular simulations

The equivalence of the virial stress and Cauchy stress is reviewed
using both theoretical arguments and numerical simulations. Using
thermoelasticity problems as examples, we numerically demonstrate that
virial stress is equivalent to the continuum Cauchy stress. Neglecting

The Australian Mineral Science Research Institute (AMSRI) is a consortium of Australia's best scientists working in minerals industry-related fields. Research activities span the breadth of minerals processing, with major themes of the research being energy efficiency, frugal water use and efficient management of waste. The Mathematics program of AMSRI performs modelling and analysis research across multiple minerals processing areas, including comminution, flotation and waste treatment.

Composite Solid

Submitted by msd.jacob on

Hi All,

I am analysing a fiber composite solid plate with a large and small holes. The model is meshed with C3D8R elements. The output has U and RF in global CSYS and S, E in local CSYS. I have problem in reading  S and E written in local CSYS. I know it is very simple, but I cant able to figure it out. Those who know, how to read the S and E in local CSYS, please help me. Tks in advance for your time and advice.
