Running a Matlab job in batch mode on a research server

Submitted by Nan Hu on

Hi, all,

I  was trying to run a Matlab m file to do some post precessing in my optimization loops. I need to run it as a batch mode without opening either Matlat interface or command window. I was trying multiple ways and it doesn't work. Any experience on this, PLEASE let me know! 

So, my question simply as "I need to run obj.m and get design.txt". I've already used fopen and fprintf to write output txt file. I need to know how to run this obj.m file! Thanks.

Best Regards,

Aaron 

Ultra high speed imaging of impact fracture

Submitted by D.Rittel on

Here are some movies of impact fracture of various test cases, recorded at up to 5Mfps using the new Kirana camera. The sensor is not the final one yet, but the results are promising. Wedge loaded PMMA plates with holes reveal very nice crack branching (somewhat analogous to fireworks). My students Y. Rotbaum and A. Godinger who performed to test cases thought that Haendel "lascia chio pianga" is appropriate. I don't take a stance on that!

Enjoy:

 

ductile behaviour

Submitted by ANKIT BARANWAL on

I have done flat plate tensile test experiment with plate having u notch at different angle to get mixed mode behaviour.The experiment shows the force variation F(30 DEG)>F(45 DEG)>F(0 DEG)>F(60 DEG) While fem elasto-plastic model made in abaqus shows F(0 DEG)>F(30 DEG)>F(45 DEG)>F(60 DEG).

Can anyone tell me why this contradiction is there between experiment and fem model.
