I am PhD student and i'm working on the behavior of bonded joints under impact and i have one question :What are the differences between a cohesive element, an interface element and a embedded process zone element ? Do they have fundamental differences or it's only a difference of the cohesive law expression.
Writing a Term Paper When you are planning to create a term paper you should follow some procedure to get a good result from your paper. Most superior papers are built around some questions. Before you starting to write a paper you must aware of the related subject. You be able to find subjects in any text. Simply go through some part of the book and if you are satisfied examine it carefully. Whether it is matching your subject you can begin with your paper. Asking you one question that how many of you wish to learn about the topic?
Expected starting date: April 01, 2008 (if no issue with work VISA for international applicants)
Salary: Negotiable
Duration: One year with a possibility of another year's extension subjected to availability of funds.
I want to mesh a 3D surface given as an implicit equation into triangle elements. For example, cos(x)+cos(y)+cos(z)+0.2=0 with -pi<x<pi, -pi<y<pi,-pi<z<pi. Is there any software can do it?
I'M USING ABAQUS IN MODELING A BEAM UNDER flexural, "BENDING". my problem is the concrete material model with tension stiffening. my problem is occured repeatedly for all element types.
Although, i imported the input files obtained from the ABAQUS ducomentaion for support; the same error obtained.. the programe message is
The plasticity/creep/connector friction algorithm did not converge at 10 points
Hi..
Anyone here could help me out as to how to use abaqus for analyzing the back plate of the drum brakes??
and also.... please give me some website where in i cud get some tutorial stuff for abaqus. im starting to learn abaqus.
thanks.
I have posted an advanced solid mechanics textbook on http://solidmechanics.org/
It works on Internet Explorer, but may not work on all browsers. Topics include: mathematical descriptions of deformation and forces in solids; constitutive laws; analytical techniques and solutions to linear elastic and elastic-plastic boundary value problems; the use and implementation of FEA; fracture mechanics; and the theory of deformable rods, plates and shells.

You'll find tons of video about biological experiments you might be interested in. It is very useful for most of mechanicians who lack this kind of knowledge and experience. Enjoy yourself!
You are invited to present your research work on the mechanical behavior of nanocomposite materials (Nov. 13-19, 2009 in Florida ). This topic will be focused on systematic mechanics experiments, modeling and simulations to solve new challenging mechanics problems such the effect of nanofiller agglomeration on the stiffness and strength reduction; interfacial stress transferring and interface strength evaluation at the nanoscale.
