General consitutive modeling framework for anisotropic pro-visco-hyperelastic materials?

Submitted by azadpoor on

Modeling the constitutive behavior of biological tissues often involves anisotropy, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity. I am looking for a good monograph/paper/textbook that presents a general constitutive modeling framework where these aspects are presented in an interconnected way. Most references treat these aspects separately, perhaps devoting a chapter to every aspect.

DIN 50CrMo4 Steel AISI 4150 HELP

Submitted by spanielka on

Hello dear coleque

i am PhD student from slovak university of technology, and i have small problem with material database, i work with softvare ANSYS, DEFORM 2D/3D and SYSWELD, and i really ned found the material data vor DIN 50CrMo4 steel vor temperature 20-850°C because the material database of this softvare is horrable.

CAN you please, really please me with this problem ?

What is the basic difference between Deformation theory and flow theory of plasticity ?

Submitted by Suman.Guha on

I am familiar with the flow theory version of the plasticity theory but still quite confused with the deformation theory version of the same.

When a material is modeled using a non-linear elastic model to predict its plastic behavior with no distinction between the elastic and the plastic strain, is it a deformation theory in that case?

Any elaboration in this regard would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance. 

How to do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint using ANSYS?

Submitted by khubaib1987 on

i got three questions here.

1) If im using ANSYS, how am i gonna do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint? The speciment is butt joint. I need to know the procedure.

2) If im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, how am i gonna obtain the SN curve if im using FE Model or Multi-column?

3) If Im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, what should i pick for the geometry if im doing on CTOD method of a butt joint welded speciment?

Thanks for the help. :)

How to use cohesive zone modeling (CZM) approach in ANSYS?

Submitted by riyadmohammad on

Dear All,

Greetings to you. I am M. Faisal Riyad from Bangladesh. I am going to assist one of my professor in his research. The research will about crack propagation analysis. He asked me to learn about the cohesive zone modelling approach in ANSYS. I am searching for some good articles to learn from the beginning. I would be very grateful to you if anyone help me to find the articles or any other way to learn about cohesize zone approach in ANSYS.

 

Thanks,

Faisal 

Looking for a Great Solid Mechanics Book w/Solutions

Submitted by zaphead on

Dear all, I am an ME PhD graduate looking for a great classical solid mechanics text (preferably something that includes a thorough treatment of classical methods as well as finite deformation and an intro into computational methods). Here's the catch:

It's got to have good homework problems at the end of each chapter, AND a solution manual to those problems.  I really like the texts by Fung and Goldstein, however I can't find solution manuals to the homework problems.

 Can anyone suggest a book and its accompanying solution manual?

Post-Processing Software for LSTC LS-DYNA

Dear friends,

 

I am using LS-Dyna for my master's thesis. I am now using 'LS-Prepost 3.1' for my post processing. I am doing explicit time integration based contact modelling. Is Prepost is the best post processing tool for such modelling or is there any other better software. Of course Prepost is free, but i wanna know if there is any other free and more powerful post processor.
