European computational mechanics degrees

Submitted by mohamedmoussa on

I'm looking for a good quality master's degree in computational mechanics. I currently live in Australia, and would prefer to study in Europe (must be an English based program as well). I have undergradaute degrees in mechanical engineering and computer science.



Two main degrees that stick out for me are the ones at the University of Stuttgart, and the Technical University of Munich.



need some standard tiles quickly

Submitted by adeldarbandi on

Hi everyone,

 some one please help me! I need some standards names and title for a course project.

I am searching for standards for testing pressure drop in pipes, valves, sight glasses and other hydrulic components. also i need standards for testing pumps too(specially diapheragm pumps) . i used google, but i didnt find anything useful, please help me. 

Tensile testing curve and fracture toughness relation

Submitted by jjamali on

Hello everyone,

I am studying fracture of polymer composites.

I had a question I want to relate fracture toughness of composite to the composite stress-strain curve found from simple tensin test(on samples with no notch or pre-existing crack), can anyone give me a hint , how to do it?

prestressed concrete

Submitted by javidi on

Dear Abaqus user

I am modeling a post-tensioned concrete pier with 4 part:

-concrete foundation,pier,cap(C3D8R) and tendon(wire,B31)

 I input prestress force by predefined file,stress in initial step.The first step is static,General to find equilibrium.

 I embeded the beginning & the end of wire in foundation & cap. contact between (foundation,pier) & (pier,cap) is hard normal contact and the tangential behavior is penalty.

Inverse

Submitted by mohammedlamine on

It is not recommended to Invert a Matrix in Numerical Analysis. Solving with Factorization methods (L.U, L.D.Lt, ..) is better than Solution with Direct Inverse. This is due to Numerical Errors (roundoff) and/or ill-Conditioned problems. In case of you need to use an Inverse, you are advised to take care about using existing algorithms which can't be exact in all applications.

New Text on Engineering Mechanics (Strength of Materials)

Submitted by Sanjay Govindjee on

 

After many years of teaching elementary mechanics and being unhappy with the high price of existing texts and their tendency to lead students into a game of pattern matching as opposed to thinking about fundamentals, I decided to assemble my lectures into a book.  So if you are looking for something different and concise on this topic you may wish to have a look at this book.  The book is also well suited for use as a refresher due to its brevity.
