Summer School - HPC for Engineering Simulation

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

The STFC Hartree Centre (in Warrington, UK - located between Manchester & Liverpool) is running 4 high performance computing summer schools from June to July 2016. They are primarily aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, but are also open to academics and industry at no extra cost. The tuition fees are subsidised by STFC and each week only costs £150. There is a 1 week school on each of the following topics:

Simple Physics concepts

Hello......

    I have a small doubt. It may feel silly, but please reply.. 

   Suppose I have a pendulum and it is impacting onto a structure. The mass of pendulum is 'm' and the intiial velocity is 'v'. The condition is that the KE at the time of impact should be 'E'. E= 0.5*m*v2

  Now i change the mass of the pendulum to m1 correspondingly velocity should be changed to v1 so that E1=E.

 Now i need to compare the force transmitted to the structure. F = ma.

Hi

I want to simulate experimental result of a CFRP [45/0/-45/90]s single lap joint in ABAQUS.

I have given geometry, properties & graphical result in the uploaded images.

Yellow color plate in the joint geometry is the E-Glass end tabs to grab both the ends

of the joint in the hydraulic grips. The loading(shear) is carried out at 0.5mm/min.

Thichness of each ply is 0.12mm; so thickness(T) of one CFRP plate is 0.12*8 = 0.96mm.

Thickness of adhesive layer is 0.15mm.

Overlap length(L) is 10mm.
