How to know the element number within an hetval subroutine

Submitted by Fausto Tucci on

Hi everybody

I'm a new user of abaqus and I'm trying to describe the heat generation in a changing phase thermoset polymer using abaqus user subroutine HETVAL. I need for my computations the current element number (in such a way that I can find the adjacent elements in the connectivity matrix).

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thank you

Hi everybody

My new paper on the buckling behavior of cracked FGM shells has been published in the Composite Structures.

I would be very happy to answer any further question.

I attached the pdf file of the paper to this blog.

Submitted by Teng Li on

The advent of internet era has been driving some significant changes in scientific publication process. The needs for optimizing publication process, from manuscript preparation and submission, to review process and to post-publication dissemination, are ubiquitous for many disciplines. There is no exception for the mechanics field.  

To this end, we are glad to announce that SES2016 will host an open forum of “Meet the Editors-in-Chief of Mechanics Journals”, which features the following panelists:

Faculty Positions in Mechanical Science and Engineering at UIUC

Submitted by Harley T. Johnson on

<p>The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for multiple faculty positions in all ranks. Emphasis is on the areas of (i) manufacturing and (ii) energy and sustainability; however, excellent candidates will be considered in all areas related to mechanical engineering and theoretical and applied mechanics. A doctoral degree is required, and salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applications received by December 4, 2016, will receive full consideration.
