regarding orthognal machining chip propagation usng abaqus

Submitted by sasivamsi on

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 [at] gmail.com. am using ABAQUS V6.6.

thermal analysis of fin on ansys

Submitted by husnain raza sial on

salam to every one......

I am doing B.E mechanical and my final year project is related to thermal analysis of fin i have completed my first step that is first law analysis of thermodynamics. And i have achieve temperature profile on fin model.

Now i am stuck at second step that is ENTOPY AND EXERGY ANALYSIS(i.e second law of thermodynamics) ihad seached enough but ther is no feature like this. i am using follwing equation for calculatig entropy calculation

On the nature of the Cauchy stress tensor

Submitted by Sia Nemat-Nasser on

Checking the iMechanica web, I notice some discussion about the Cauchy stress tensor, whether it is covariant or contravariant.  Well, a tensor is neither covariant nor contravariant, while it can be expressed by its covariant, contravariant, or mixed *components* with respect to any arbitrary coordinate system. See the attached short explanation.

Shell 99 on Ansys

Hello.

 I'm attempting to model a thin composite laminate plate in ansys and
after searching this website and using the ansys help, I have chosen to
use shell 99. However when I load up the Ansys 8.0 software on the
university computers (I am a student), I can not seem to find the Shell
99 choice, or in fact any of the other possibilites, such as shell 91,
shell181, solid 46, or solid 191.

 Just wondering if anyone would know why this is the case, I'm
hoping that it;'s not because it's a university edition or something.
