Hello all, I am in a desperate need of some expert help
For a newbie at Abaqus with subroutines,
After months of trying, finally installed Abaqus, verified results all passed.
(Abaqus 6.13, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013)
Couple of questions-
1) Error: Problem during compilation: What is wrong with the code below subroutine uhyper? (A former student had this subroutine working, may be in earlier versions but had it working)
I have a 2-year post-doctoral position available at McGill/Polytechnique to work on the effect of shot peening on the residual stresses at the grain levels. The methodology will consist of meshing representative volume elements of polycristals and submitt them to shot peening (explicit dynamic simulations). I require a candidate who has exprience in FE modeling of Representative Volume Elements of polycristals and crystal plasticity.
In a large "Mechanics of Materials" class at ETH Zurich, I incorporated an educational game, Truss Me!, into the class. It showed the potential gaming apps have in enhancing traditional teaching of mechanics.

Hi Everyone,
I have written Drucker Prager in VUMAT version as shown below..but still there are some deviation with the original in built version of ABAQUS. I have all the notes how i derived these equation.could you please show me where the code has gone wrong or have i missed a critical point in here..i tried my best to spot the error but could not..may be you all experts could find it. Thank you very much.

Hello together,
my professor just failed me in an oral exam. It was shwn a graph of a piezometric headline that increased. I said that its because of an increase of the diameter of the tube. He said afterwards:
Dear colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 15-19 September 2014. More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2014.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!
