Need an example of wave propagation in a plate using abaqus

Submitted by Hadishah on

Hi every body,I'm a senior student in mechanics and really I need an
example of wave propagation in a thin plate to conduct my project. At
now,main problem for me is how to apply load to get answers with
obvious wave propagtion contour plot without any thing more in just one
refelection.

Thanks in advance,

rigid body-deformable body contact in ABAQUS

Submitted by akmkhoda on

Hi:

 I was trying to model two beam. One is a cantiliver beam with horizontal axis and another one is beam like vertical axis rigid body. When I apply load to the 1st beam it should bend but should not exceed the rigid body. Buy in my model the 1st beam completly ignore the rigid body when deform. I am using Aabqus cae 6.9.

 Anyone has any suggestion or tips , please let me kmow.

Thanks

Some books on Fracture Mechanics

Submitted by Kamyar M Davoudi on

Fracture Mechanics, Fundamentals and Applications, T.L. Anderson, CRC Press, 3rd Ed., 2004.



This book is in line with what Zhigang is teaching in class. Because Kejie and Widusha have already recommended this book, I would like to introduce you some other books as well as a different approach to cracks and Fracture Mechanics.

Dynamic fracture mechanics

Submitted by Cai Shengqiang on

Dynamic fracture mechanics is written by a very well known professro-L B Freund. Honestly, I have only read a small part of the book. However, I recommend this book because after reading this book, you can learn many things which haven't be touched in the class, as stated by Zhigang in the beginning of the class.
