hi to all,
this is srinivas from IITROORKEE presently doing M.Tech in CIVIL Engg .
my project is
determing the deformation modulus using plate loading test down a drill hole.
Hi every one,
Iam searching for the paper
" charalambides P.G. ,J. Lund, A.G. Evans and R.M. McMeeking(1989), A test Specimen for determing fracture resistance of bimaterial interfaces . Journal of Applied mechanics, volume :56, pages 77-82. "
Iam unable to find this paper. I need this paper for my thesis work. Is there any one find this copy please attach the copy.
Hi
Iam working on ansys modelling of DCB specimen to determine the energy release rate. Ihave modeled a CT specimen and determined its SIF. Is it right way to model the DCB by changing the dimensions of CT specimen and making it a DCB specimen?..
How can i find out energy release rate of the specimen?
Iam pretty new to Ansys
THANKS ALL
I have some problem in defining the material properties using UMAT. I want to simulate the cubic stress-strain traction-sepration law. Solution doesn't converge after max load is applied (i.e zero slope of stress-strain plot). I am using riks solver. I have written my stress -strain relationship as below in UMAT file. Please tell me how to converge the solution even after zero slope of stress-strain relationship. Can i make my load factor(lambda) negative in riks option.
This is a great news for all students here in iMechanica! The formation of a study group which will focus on the basic concepts and the facts of daily research, the simple tools that any of us will need at a certain stage. Please see blow the formation of this idea and add your comment, it would be good to know other points of view as we can improve the initial idea step by step.

World Scientific Pub. Co. will soon (2008 Winter) publish a new graduate textbook on Micromechanics and Nanomechanics. The book is based on a lecture notes that have been used in Berkeley for seven years. Reading of book requires minimum knowledge of continuum mechanics and mathematics, and the book is intended for the first year graduate students as well as those practitioners who have no time to read the literature for self-study.
I have read some papers about fracture mechanics of functionally graded materials. I find there are different results for the stress intensity factors when the crack length is close to "0" . In some papers the values of stress intensity factors are "1" when the crack length is close to "0" , but in other papers the values of stress intensity factors are not "1". I obtain the stress intensity factors is "1" when the length of crack is close to "0". I hope to get the explaination about the results.Thanks a lot.
Hello,
As far as I understand from the previous blogs: we can now embed XFEM in ABAQUS. Is this approach restricted to linear elastic behavior? Can we simulate fracture propagation in an elasto-plastic material ("XFEM coupled with ABAQUS" type analysis) or is this approach only limited to fracture propagation in elastic materials.
Thanks,
Uno.
