Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the following minisymposium taking place as part of the EMI conference in Stanford (June 16-19, 2015)

uniaxial strain test - solution for stress distribution

Submitted by mbpro15p on Thu, 10/23/2014 - 08:33

Hello,

Does anyone know the analytical solution for the stress within a elastic solid under uniaxial strain with small free surfaces?

This solution should account a sort of transition in the stress distribution from the edge towards the center.

example:

Let's suppose to have 2 rigid disks glued together with a soft adhesive material.

Analisys high cycle fatigue(HCF) in Abaqus

Submitted by milad nikfam on Tue, 10/21/2014 - 07:14

software

Hello my friends...
I want to study ''fatigue crack growth'' in Abaqus...I need your help...Could anybody help me about this problem??
I need to know, what is the XFEM Abaqus out put for fracture mechanic??I meen does it give SIF,N(fatigue life) and the crack path??I read Abaqus documentation, it has said that Abaqus can do low cycle fatigue,Can I use it for HCF?? do I need to write a code or subroutine??
Thank you
