3-year post doctoral position in dynamic testing of materials - University of Southampton

Submitted by Fabrice Pierron on Sun, 06/21/2015 - 18:14

As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.

ABAQUS built-in SMA model

Submitted by Frank Richter on Sat, 06/20/2015 - 10:02

Dear Mechanicians,

time and again the question of SMA (shape memory alloy) modeling pops up.

In ABAQUS, you can achieve this only by (V)UMAT coding or by using the little-known built-in SMA model.

In the past I have frequently responded to queries on SMA modeling and could refer to a customer help site of SIMULIA. That site is down, regrettably.

I decided to post the files here to avoid responding with a longer explanation to every individual seeking assistance and uploading the files as E-mail attachment every time.

Manipulation of SDV in VUSDFLD subroutines

Submitted by PoojaShah on Sat, 06/20/2015 - 05:18

research

I am trying to write a subroutine with VUSDFLD

I would like to manipulate the Solution Dependent Variables based on its previous value as follows:

Statenew(k,2)=Stateold(k,2)*10

But Multiplaction and Divisiion operations do not give any results. They give 'No value' when they are output.

Would anyone know why this happens?

Thank you.

Conversion of gemotry in beam section

Submitted by sachin46 on Fri, 06/19/2015 - 05:38

Dear all,

In ANSYS mechanical I am interested for free vibration analysis of ship structure, for it I have an weight distribution information along with all geometry details . I am looking for frequency as a an output from it.

I want to convert the ship into equivalent beam section ,anyone has an Idea how to convert it into beam element ?

As per my knowledge I have to take care of CG location ,Ixx ,Iyy and Izz.

Kindly help me to perform same.

Regards
