Regarding implementation of an integration scheme which avoids the need of contact surface segmentation.

Submitted by Vishal Agrawal on

Dear All,

As FEA is one of the most popular methods for the treatment of contact problems. In that, the overall contact surface is discretized a number of segments and contact integrals are evaluated in a segment-wise manner. In 2005 Fischer and Wriggers [1] presented an integration method which avoids the need of contact surface segmentations and enables the evaluation of contact integrals directly at the slave nodes of contact bodies.

I followed the following link http://read.pudn.com/downloads92/sourcecode/math/356902/EFGNumericalImp… for EFGM programming. For a Poisson equation whose domain is a square domain with unknown variable "U" is given zero on "Right vertical" and "Top wall" of the square domain.

Simpleware Release M-2017.06 Now Available

Submitted by Simpleware on

We’re happy to bring you the latest version of Simpleware. The M-2017.06 release includes new features and performance improvements across the 3D image to model workflow. We have added new segmentation tools, enhanced the visibility of measurements, and introduced a new landmark registration tool for positioning CAD models in image data. The release also provides new improvements to our outstanding meshing capabilities.

PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Dynamic Impact onto Composite Materials

Submitted by sockalsi on

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship position as soon as possible at the University of South Carolina, focused on computational modeling of dynamic impact onto composite materials. The research involves modeling using finite element techniques to predict damage and failure in aerospace composites. The successful applicant, preferably a US citizen, must have a background in computational mechanics and finite element modeling. Familiarity with LS-DYNA is a plus.
