Governing equation
Hi,
I want to do FE analysis of metal cutting. Is there any governing equation for this problem to solve with FEM.
Thanks and regards.

I was wondering what is origin of weak form in continuum mechanics.

Last day, I took my class of Nonlinear Analysis of solids and structures.
And I learned about the strong form & weak form in the prilciple of Virtual work.
I can find the origin of those two form that is from Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor.
but why Integral form is called "weak form"? why Differential form is called "strong form"? why?
I was just wondering.
PhD in Europe, USA- differences?
Dear All,
What do you think is the difference in PhD in Europe, USA? My thesis supervisor used to say "In US it is a deep inspection of a subject, while European PhD is a grand problem solving" What is your opinion on this matter? Is there some basic difference between how a PhD is approached by students and supervisor in both these places? if indeed there is a difference, in your opinion which approach is preferable??

help me in FSI
hello eveyone
I am a BE student,I am doing my final semester project on fsi of box beam
I am new in fluid structure interaction, I dont how much RAM it will require for fsi analysis of box beam.
any kind of tutorial on fsi are also be helpful. no helpful material is found on google
thanks
Localization of Inelastic Deformation 2011
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 12-16 September 2011. More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2011.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

Plotting stress-strain graph from simulation

Hi everyone, I am studying an example in Abaqus example problems manual (version 6.10) called "uniaxial rachetting under tension and compression". In the example there is a graph plotting axial stress-strain relationship for experiment data and simulation data. By studying the inp file I knows that the writer has ask for some outputs like RF1, RF2, RF3, S, ALPHA, ALPHAN, LE and so on in certain node and element set. However, I still can't figure out how writer use the output data from simulation to plot the axial stress-strain graph.
Thermodynamics 0, 1, 2, 3
In teaching the elements of thermodynamics in the graduate course on soft active materials, I have followed this sequence:
Temperature vs. chemical potential
For the third time I am teaching the graduate course on soft active materials. This course is called Advanced Elasticity in the Catalog of Courses. In the last several years, I have dropped several traditional topics, and focused on thermodynamics and finite deformation. I have added several topics where both thermodynamics and finite deformation play significant roles, such as elastomeric gels and dielectric elastomers.
