Fully Coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of Wind Turbine Rotor Blades-2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
A fully coupled fluid-structure interaction analysis of a wind turbine rotor is
presented. Abaqus/Standard and STAR-CCM+ are directly coupled through the
SIMULIA co-simulation engine. With this approach, a high fidelity modeling
strategy can be used to develop an accurate understanding of the blade dynamics.

Simulation of the Ballistic Perforation of Aluminum Plates with Abaqus/Explicit -2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
Simulation of the Ballistic Perforation of Aluminum Plates describes Abaqus/Explicit modeling of the ballistic impact of metal projectiles
on metal targets. It will demonstrate the utility of Abaqus/Explicit as a tool
for reducing the amount of experimental testing as well as assessing the
projectile residual velocities and time-resolved kinematics. 

Pipeline Rupture in Abaqus/Standard with Ductile Failure Initiation-2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
Pipeline Rupture in Abaqus/Standard will be used to predict the burst pressure of a steel pipe-line
with a notch-type defect. A ductile damage initiation criterion is used, and
favorable comparison with available experimental data will be shown.

Coupled Electromagnetic and Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Solenoid Valve-2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
It is a methodology for building a coupled electromagnetic and fluid-structure
interaction analysis of a solenoid valve. A seamless integration between the
applicable analysis techniques allows for the simulation of the complex
multiphysics interactions.

PhD Positions in Fluid-Structure Interaction

Submitted by Uttam K. Chakravarty on

PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Orleans, starting in the spring 2013. Applicants with strong background in the areas of solid mechanics, composite structures, finite element analysis, and fluid-structure interaction (using Abaqus or ANSYS) are encouraged to apply. The research projects are on small-scale unmanned aerial systems. Applicants can learn more about the PhD program from the website, http://coe.uno.edu/coe_web/graduate/phd.htm.

Contact deformation can cause local damage of mechanical structures and lead to structural failure

of mechanical devices. In this work, we use the finite element method to analyze the indentation-

induced delamination of a film-substrate structure and the critical tensile stress as the criterion to

determine local delamination on the interface between the film and the substrate. The simulation

Finite element analysis of the spherical indentation of transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials

Submitted by hasanzhong on

Finite element analysis was used to analyze the indentation deformation of

a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material (PZT-4) by a rigid spherical

indenter. Three cases were considered in the analysis, which included (a)

the indentation by an insulating indenter, (b) the indentation by a conducting

indenter and (c) the indentation of the piezoelectric material with equal electric

potential on the top surface. The indentation load was found to be proportional
