Hi all,

     Here I encoutered a error in ABAQUS when I include ALE with VUMAT. When ALE was not included with VUMAT, my job can work well while with the combination of VUMAT and ALE, the job cann't work any more due to a "Signal 8" error. And if I use a built-in material model and at the same time ALE, a job can work. Furthermore, element failure is considered in all of the cases.

    Anyone can give some suggetion? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

    I have a question about the objectivity tensor in ABAQUS software. Below is my question.   

There are several  fully funded graduate student openings in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Utah State University (http://www.mae.usu.edu). The openings are in the broad area of Computational Solid Mechanics. In particular, applicants having demonstrated interest (in terms of completed projects, authorship in journal articles or coursework) in Fracture Mechanics are especially invited.
