I want to simulate my indentation results in ABAQUS for a berkovich indenter.
I am facing problems in modelling indnetre as rigid body and in defining master and slave surfaces in contact pair. Is there anty suitabale tutorial available or refrence file so that I can check where I am making mistake.
Some of you probably work on problems that involve moderately large strains. An useful strain measure for such problems in the logarithmic or Hencky strain. In particular, if you deal with the numerics of large strain simulations, you will often need to compute the material time derivatives of logarithmic strains.
Dear friends,
I am new to this this forum. I salute the founders, administrators and content providers of imechanica for putting up such a useful forum. I work on finite element anaylsis of large deformation and contact problems, in particular metal forming and tribology.

plz provide links for some solved numerical examples for new students in this field of mesh free method
Before we start this issue of J-club, I would like to recommend Prof. Langer's lecture for his MRS Von Hippel Award in the 2005 MRS Fall Meeting (Langer, 2006). His lecture not only delineated the history of the new exciting field of drug delivery and controlled release, but also told us many interesting stories happened in his career development. With Prof. Langer's pioneer work, many new materials are developed for designing new drug delivery and controlled drug release systems.
I am working in the area of microfuidics and wish to apply meshless methods to solve electroosmotic flow in microchannel. Can anybody suggest the journals which accepts papers on this field.
Key Words: Microfluidics, Navier-Stokes equations, microchannels, electroosmotic flow
Coated nanoparticles, which have a core-shell structure, have many applications. The attached manuscript shows some of our progresses in investigating the induced torque and orientation of such nanoparticles in an electric field. We show that the shell of a nanoparticle has an important effect on its orientation, even when the shell is thin and takes only a small portion of the total volume. For instance, a thin layer coating of highly conductive Au can dramatically change the induced torque on a SiO2 or TiO2 nanoparticle.
