I'm trying to conduct buckling analysis on thin cylinder under external pressure using Ansys 10.0. Can some one please guide me on how to perform it... its urgent ...
In theories of failure (e.g von-Mises, Tresca, Max. principal stress etc), yield funcion, f(sigma ij, Y) = 0 is plotted in principal stress space (sigma 1, sigma2 and sigma 3). Why shouldn't we express the same yield function, f(epsilon ij, epsilon Y) = 0 and plot in principal strain space?
Y = Yiled stress, sigma ij = stress ij, epsilon ij = strain ij. and espsilon Y = Yield strain = Y/E, E = Young's modulus
Nature recently favorably reviewed a new self-published book, based on a blog , by a "female physical sciences professor" in the US. While the overarching theme is clearly about being a female in a male-dominated world, the writings on the blog (and in the book) are in many places general and provide lots of good advice and anecdotes about acadmic life.

Under the practical manufacturing process, metal parts will deform according the loads exerted on them. I did some practical measurement on the mentioned metal parts before and after the deformation.e.g.Heat treatment, the metal parts could be expanded or screwed.The postions I used to measure the dimension of the metal part could not be traced.Simply to use the difference of the widths at some specific positions, for example, has non-sense to indicate the deformation of the metal parts.On the other hand, I could use Catia to simulate some deformations of the metal parts.
I have a beam whose two ends are roller condition which means one end is zero moment and zero displacement and the other end is zero moment but can have the displacement only along the beam axis. Then the compression force is applied on this end along the beam axis.
hi am doing my project on high speed machining of aluminium and steel. for chip propagation i want some procedure how to do crack/fracture analysis using ABAQUS. if anybody knew about this please send me information regarding steps involved in building crack propagation.if any practile examples or tutorials are available for this send me to my mail id. my mail id is sasivamsi@gmail.com. am using ABAQUS V6.6.
I am new here. Now I am doing a research which is related to the Euler's buckling formula. It is known that when the cylinder is thick enough, Euler's buckling formula is no longer valid. I want to know in which region of slenderness(aspect ratio) of a cylinder or column that the Euler's buckling formula is valid. Is there any analytical study or numerical results about it? Is there any suggestion or paper I can find?
The fractal crack model described here incorporates the essential
features of the fractal view of fracture, the basic concepts of
the LEFM model, the concepts contained within the
Barenblatt-Dugdale cohesive crack model and the quantized
(discrete or finite) fracture mechanics assumptions. The
well-known entities such as the stress intensity factor and the
Barenblatt cohesion modulus, which is a measure of material
toughness, have been re-defined to accommodate the fractal view of
fracture.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor ranks to begin August 2009. Applicants are sought in all areas of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics but preference will be given to those with interest and expertise in aerospace structures/mechanics of materials, multidisciplinary design and analysis, experimental thermal-fluids, propulsion, wind energy, and wind engineering.

Multiple, assistant researcher/research scientist/postdoctoral positions are available in a large, 4-year duration, Department of Defense program on “Release, Atmospheric Dispersal, and Environmental Fate of Liquid Agents”. The effort is aiming to: (a) achieve a basic understanding of the physics of aero-breakup and dispersal of liquid agents in high-speed flows, (b) achieve a basic understanding of impact/spreading/absorption/reaction/evaporation of drops falling on various substrates, and (c) develop and validate computational tools covering the hierarchy of scales involved and purposes

I am using ABAQUS to simulate the soil earth pressure around a buried concrete pipe. Based on reading different threads posted. I knew that there are two ways to simulate the process of excavation and the pipe placement and backfilling.
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!
