ANSYS , LS-DYNA: simulation of full penetration impact

Submitted by yousof.mohandes on
Is
there any one here who could help me through the step-by-step creating and analyzing
a 3D simulation of ballistic, full penetration impact of a steel, rigid
projectile into the 3D composite plate?



note1: as i know,
available HASHIN damage model in ABAQUS isn't an appropriate tool to do
that. because it has an important restriction that confined you in the
"2D" damage analysis of composites and using 2D planar elements only.



note2: so, my preferred software is LS-DYNA or ANSYS-APDL now.

Tunable electrical and mechanical responses of PDMS and polypyrrole nanowire composites

Submitted by duping812 on

doi:10.1088/0022-3727/46/19/195303

A generic experimental procedure is presented in this work to enhance
the electrical responses of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through
incorporation of conducting polymer nanowires, while maintaining the
desirable mechanical flexibility of PDMS. The conducting polypyrrole

Post-doctoral Position in the Ohio State University

Submitted by Ningyu Wang on

Post-doctoral position is available in the area of ultrasonic material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (strong background and experience in ultrasonic experiment and modeling are required). The position is supported from research grants. The focus area is ultrasonic study of nonhomogenous materials like polycrystalline materials, composites and adhesive bonds. State of the art ultrasonic laboratories and other characterization facilities are available. More details will be provided to interested individuals.
