EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE will hold the EMI 2017 conference on June 4-7, 2017 in San Diego, California (http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/events/2017/emi2017/index.shtml). It will be chaired by Prof. J.-S. Chen and Prof. Yuri Bazilevs of the University of California San Diego.
In this work, the evolution of the dislocations microstructure in single crystal two-phase superalloy microcrystals under monotonic loading has been studied using the three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) method. The DDD framework has been extended to properly handle the collective behavior of dislocations and their interactions with large collections of arbitrary shaped precipitates. Few constraints are imposed on the initial distribution of the dislocations or the precipitates, and the extended DDD framework can support experimentally-obtained precipitate geometries.
Hello everyone,
I am using free body cut on 3D element faces in ABAQUS to read the bending moment and axial force on a specific cross-section of a cantilever beam made with C3D8R elements. I am applying an inclined force to induce both axial and bending stresses and I am pushing the structure to undergo large displacements. The material is modelled as elasto-plastic.
I would like to know how ABAQUS compute the values of bending moment and axial force that I can read directly from the free body cut.

With around 8,200 students, Brandenburg Technical University (BTU) Cottbus-Senftenberg is the second largest and the only technical university in the federal state of Brandenburg. It is a research-oriented technical university that offers excellent research opportunities. In the Chair of Mechanical Design and Manufacturing of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, we are looking for a candidate as:
Scientific assistant (m/w)
I hope this information will be helpful for some researchers. We recently integrated TexGen with SwiftComp, called TexGen4SC, to provide a very easy app to compute thermoelastic properties for textile composites for all the types of woven microstructures which can be generated by TexGen. This tool can achieve RVE analysis accuracy with a very small fraction of its computing time. This tool can respect the finite thickness of a woven fabric. It can be freely launched on any device (smart phones, ipads, etc) connected to Internet.
