Matlab code for intermetalic layer thickness
I need a matlab code for measuring intermetallic layer thickness of Cu-Sn binary alloy during soldering.
I will use the result for Characterization of intermetallic layer and also time based analysis of mechanical failure.
I would be really grateful to the person who can help me over this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.
How to define RHS in UEL for a static analysis?
Hi every one!
I'm working on developing a shell element to be implemented in ABAQUS through UEL.
It's going through a static analysis. and as you may know for static analysis, ABAQUS just needs AMATRX and RHS to be defined via UEL. It must be mentioned that the stiffness matrix is changing at each time increment. The force that has been applied, is a concentrated force and a function of time.
I've defined the RHS as:
RHS=-[K]*{U}
where [K] is the stiffness (AMATRX) matrix and {u} is the displacement vector at each time increment.

Predicting fracture energies and crack-tip fields of soft tough materials
Soft materials including elastomers and gels are pervasive in biological systems and technological applications. Whereas it is known that intrinsic fracture energies of soft materials are relatively low, how the intrinsic fracture energy cooperates with mechanical dissipation in process zone to give high fracture toughness of soft materials is not well understood. In addition, it is still challenging to predict fracture energies and crack-tip strain fields of soft tough materials.
