Hello everyone,

I am a doctorate student working with meshless methods for fluid flow. I would like to attend a summer school or workshops that can enrich my knowledge in FSI and meshless methods for FSI. I would really appreciate if anyone could recommend me a good school around Europe. As far as I have searched I was unable to find courses in the internet.

Thanks for your help,

Regards

Prager's Hardening Rule

Submitted by felton1990 on Fri, 04/25/2014 - 20:59

Hi all

I am currently investigating Prager hardening room which is stated as the simplist linear kinematic hardening rule. I was wondering if anyone has worked with this model and if so if you have managed to identify how to determine the constant used for the back stress equation

dα =C * dε^p( this is epsilon dot p which is the equivalent plastic strain)

Please can you let me know how to determine the constant C from experimental results?

presenting a new method to model of metal foams

Submitted by Maseng on Sun, 04/20/2014 - 20:40

i have presented a new method for the first time to model of metal foams that subtracts stochastic cells from a desired volume and changes it to a foam.

i would like to know if there is any phd position for this?

thank u for your consideration :)

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

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,

The Renaissance of Continuum Mechanics

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:

http://www.zju.edu.cn/jzus/iparticle.php?doi=10.1631/jzus.A1400079 (The full paper can be downloaded.)

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 Sun, 03/30/2014 - 06:00

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.
