Study of mechanical Properties by Nanoindentation

Submitted by safiul_mollick on

I have started to study the effects of roughness, indentation size effect, 

Tip bluntness on nanoindentation data.

I will be thankfull if some one send me some resources in this context and

also explaining the strain gradient plasticity .To safiul.mollick [at] saha.ac.in

Abaqus CAE with dynamic explicit/implict

Submitted by msd.jacob on

I want to get the stress value in the roller of a hot/cold worked plate. Both the roller and the plate are defrormable 2D shell model. The change in the thickness of the plate is 0.05mm once the plate  passes throguh the rolees.I am trying to use dynamic explicitt in the step process. PLease advice me wat are the other factors i have to input for the dynamic explicit process. I am having some more input for the roller and the plate velocity.

Please advice me or just ask me for further input. Thanks for your mehaniciams feed back.
