Is DDSDDE needed to be rotated by DROT or not in Abaqus UMAT?
I am trying to formulate UMAT subrouting for crystal plasticity. DDSDDE is required to be rotated by DROT or not for anisotropic material?

Post-Doc position within the International Research Training Group "Integrated Engineering of continuous-discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures” (DFG GRK 2078)
The international research training group "Integrated Engineering of continuous-discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures” offers one post-doc position at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Discontinuous long fiber reinforced polymer structures with local continuous fiber reinforcements represent an important class of lightweight materials. This class of materials has a significant potential for energy savings due to the high specific stiffness and strength as well as the variety of design options in diverse technical applications, e.g., in vehicle construction.
Evaluation of J-integral in a 2D non-linear Abaqus model
Hi guys,
Does anyone know the input file command line to carry out the J-integral evaluation in an XFEM crack propagation simulation?? Documentation is not clear and keeps giving errors when I run a job.

Journal of Materials Science Special Issue: Mechanical Behavior of Interfaces in Materials
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing this email in regards to a special issue being organized by me focused on "Mechanical Behavior of Interfaces in Materials" for the Journal of Materials Science along with Dr. Rajendran, Dr. Namburu, and Dr. Dubey.. . This special issue aims to address the links between the various characteristics of the interfaces (structural, chemical) and the response under various mechanical loading environments. A description of the scope is below:
Background/Scope:
