A single theory for some quasi-static, supersonic, atomic, and tectonic scale applications of dislocations
Xiaohan Zhang Amit Acharya Noel J. Walkington Jacobo Bielak
We describe a model based in continuum mechanics that reduces the study of a significant class of problems of discrete dislocation dynamics to questions of the modern theory of continuum plasticity. As applications, we explore the questions of the existence of a Peierls stress in a continuum theory, dislocation annihilation, dislocation dissociation, finite-speed-of-propagation effects of elastic waves vis-a-vis dynamic dislocation fields, supersonic dislocation motion, and short-slip duration in rupture dynamics.

Helps needed for Mixing of granular media in a drum mixer
Hi everyone,
I just realized there is a DEM feature built in ABAQUS. A drum mixer example is given in user manual. but i still cannot figure out how to do it like how to creating a number of discrete elements, defining their locations, and so on.
Could anyone offer me any tips, or any tutorials which can be hardly found online
Thanks in advance.

Technical Discussion
Good aftrnoon to all,
i am new to ansys apdl,so kindly help me with this problem.
i am running linera static analysis for landing skid skid of helicopter but on solving i m getting error like a small negative equation solver pivot term has been encountered at UX degree of freedom.
what is the meaning of this error & how to tackle this?
Regards,
Sushant Zutshi
