EML is born

Submitted by K Jimmy Hsia on

Dear Friends,
Let me assure you that we (the editorial team) are just as anxious as you are to see what kind of papers are published by EML, with similar anticipation as one looks at a new born baby for the first time.  Does the baby girl have big eyes like her mother? Or does the baby boy have little hair on his head like his father? Or the baby is just different, different from all other children, and beautifully so.

Optical microscope for three-dimensional surface displacement and shape measurements at the microscale

Submitted by Shuman_Xia on

We report a novel optical microscope for full-field, noncontact measurements of three-dimensional (3D) surface deformation and topography at the microscale. The microscope system is based on a seamless integration of the diffraction-assisted image correlation (DAIC) method with fluorescent microscopy. We experimentally demonstrate the microscope’s capability for 3D measurements with submicrometer spatial resolution and subpixel measurement accuracy.

New Background of Micromechanics

Submitted by Valeriy Buryachenko on

Dear Colleagues,

One proposes a new background of micromechanics defining a new field of micromechanics called computational analytical micromechanics (CAM, see the abstract attached). It offers opportunities for a fundamental jump in multi-scale and multi-physics modeling of random heterogeneous media with drastically improved accuracy of local field estimations.  I would be happy if you pay your attention to CAM.

How to install abaqus on different machines which have a same license server?

Submitted by Hui Liu on

Hi everyone 

Do you know how to install abaqus software on different machines which have a same license server? 


1. How to install abaqus on the license server computer? 

2. How to install abaqus on the other computers? 

Could you please give me some instructions? 

Thank you in advance!

Hybrid Composite Model Design!

Submitted by hasan_ikbal on

Hello everybody!

I'm kinda new in ABAQUS, struggling with very simple models design it seems!

My research is on fiber reinforced hybrid composites. Basically it is a laminate of four plies, and each ply consists of a hybrid combination of two fibers (Carbon and galss). Fiber bundles are arranged (5mm:5mm) alternatively throughout the width of the fabric (plz. find the attachments). The models I want to create are very simple, for tensile, compression, flexural and shear simulation as per ASTM standard.

I tried a way but ended up failed:
