Measurement of Volume Changes and Associated Stresses in Ge Electrodes Due to Na/Na+ Redox Reactions

Job Summary

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who is proficient in FEM simulation with multi-year hands-on experience of FEM software ASNSY or ABAQUS. The individual should also be an expert programmer of numerical simulation tools, such as: MatLab and/or Python.

To obtain the principal planes we construct the stress tensor and find the eigen vectors. Here is an attempt to explain it more intuitively rather than the use of the formal mathematical method. Hope you enjoy this video!

Here is my second video, where I tried to explain the concepts of stress state, principal stresses, Mohr circle and failure theories in layman's language and associated these concepts to explain the failure of a brittle material. This is an educational outreach initiative mainly targeted at the undergraduates (mechanical/civil/aerospace and materials engineering) studying mechanics and also other me

Dear ALL,

Which reading material/source that describes the good understanding of stress triaxiality?

What is the role of stress triaxiality for FE analyst?

I have read a lot of papers/articles but still have confusing me on the fundamental of stress triaxiality.

Key Qualifications

I am hoping someone has some historical knowledge of some
interesting mechanics, or just an interest to discuss it. A superposition principle is widely used to solve crack problems, with illustrations like these:

hi

      A composite 3D plate is subjected to tensile load and whilethe otherend is fully comnstrained. how to findstress along the thickness for theoritically

hello,

     I have encountered a problem to calculate the stress at interfacial Guass point of each hexahedron element. Since the effective stress is needed to decide whether a cohesive element should be inserted when using the extrinsic cohesive element model, the stress at interfacial Guass point of each element is chosen to calculate effective stress. In the calculation process, the stress at Guass point of each hexaderon element can be obtained.Is there anyone who knows how to calculate the interfacial stress accurately? I would appreciate your comments.

how to do a crack propagation analysis?

can abaqus be used for doing crack propagation analysis for plates with multiple cracks?

Elsevier is pleased to announce that Professor Sia Nemat-Nasser will be presenting 'Managing Stress Waves Over Multi-frequencies by Micro-architectural Design of Materials', the Mechanics Research Communications Elsevier Distinguished Lecture (sponsored by Elsevier and the New Jersey Institute of Technology Granular Science Laboratory). The lecture will take place in the Guttenberg Information Technologies Center, NJIT, on Monday April 18, 2011, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Full details are available at

Hi all, 

[Warning: The writing is long, as is usually the case with my posts :)]

It all began with a paper that I proposed for an upcoming conference in India. The extended abstract got accepted, of course, but my work is still in progress, and today I am not sure if I can meet the deadline. So, I may perhaps withdraw it, and then submit a longer version of it to a journal, later.

What is stress? Who has ever seen stress? Is stress a physical quantity?

In fact, this question has been bothering the present author for more than 15 years.

As a consultant in computational mechanics, I currently help write some FEM-related code, and while doing this job, an episode from a recent past came to my mind. Let me go right on to the technical issue, keeping aside the (not so good) particulars of that episode. (In case you are curious: it happened outside of my current job, during a job interview.)

If you are a design engineer, FE analyst, researcher, or any professional dealing with stress analysis in your work, I seek answers to a couple of questions from you:

Question 1:

Hi all,

  I have few questions here :  

Dear All,

 I think that many students are looking for some tutorials about writing a UMAT in ABAQUS.

You can find a comprehensive tutorial for elastic problems.

This file contains: 

• Motivation

• Steps Required in Writing a UMAT or VUMAT

• UMAT Interface

• Examples

Example 1: UMAT for Isotropic Isothermal Elasticity

Example 2: UMAT for Non-Isothermal Elasticity

If someone knows of books/articles dealing with the meaning of the concept of potential in physics (or concerning the physical bases underlying the energy methods of mechanics) then I would very much appreciate getting to know about these.
