Ice failure simulation

ABAQUS

Hi,

  I want to simulate Ice failure simulation in abaqus. In my problem, ice is deposited between 2 components.

  While I am trying to move one compoents, the ice is restricting the movement of the components. Now I want to find out the force at which the ice starts to failure .

  any methods are available n abaqus., Plz let me know if any body knows abt this kind of simulation.

 

Thanks in advance

Viscoelastic & Viscoplastic Behaviour of flex printed circuit boards under bending loads

Submitted by Nishant Kumar on
education

Hello,

I am currently working on my M.Sc Thesis project of fatigue lifcycle of Flex printed circuit boards which is composite material of Polymer & Metal.Want some help who has worked on this topic which deals with Viscoelastic & Plastic behaviour of materials under action of pure bending loads.Help & Guidance would be appreciated.Need to come up with an equation which has stress & strain relating to lifecycle of Flex printed circuit boards.

Awaiting your reply,

 

Regards,

Nishant

The Renaissance of Continuum Mechanics

Dear friends of IMechanica:

 

Primary data mining through Web of Science
reveals that the number of papers containing “continuum mechanics ” increases
rapidly these years. This is a very exciting fact to our mechanicians. Thus, I
wrote a short paper titled “The Renaissance of Continuum Mechanics”, which was just
published online via:

Hi

Has anyone followed the book Inelasticity of Materials by Arun Srinivasa?

 I was interested in the way he used lumped parameter models to describe material behaviour in Chapter 3. Trying to follow his methodology I wanted to implement it for some experimental results I have.

 However, I have faced an obstacle in trying to work out the hardening modulus of the the material in question. He has worked it out for his example case by curve fitting but I am just not getting the answer.

Question about Smeared Crack models

Submitted by Superheru on
education

Hi, I want to ask you guys about how to model an unconfined conrete material with smeared crack model in abaqus 6.10, especially about what kind of parameter should I use and how much the value of parameter. I would really appreciate if you could give me some tutorial, explanation, or even an example of how should I model a smeared crack model in abaqus.

 

Thanks.

Biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue

Preventing bone deterioration is a critical aspect of combating osteoporosis, improving bone implants, and even making long-term space flight possible, such as voyages to Mars and beyond. On April 9, noted biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue, transport that has a direct bearing on the prevention of bone loss.
