Dear All
My thesis is about finite elment modeling of skeletal muscle in which I should calculate gradient of deformation incrementally in ABAQUS subroutine "UMAT".
However,for starting the code to perform having initial deformation gradient is essential. I don't know how to start the program.
Would anyone familiar with this field help me or introduce any reference.
Webinar
Date: April 24, 2012; Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm (EDT)
The paramount role of mechanics in life has recently been the center of attention of many researchers. This special issue will be focusing on the role of mechanics in the life of cells and tissues and their interactions with biomaterials. Original research and review papers are solicited for review and publication in the journal Mechanical Sciences . Mechanical Sciences is an academic open-access journal sponsored by the Library of Delft University of Technology and The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
IntelliSuite was the first MEMS-specific CAD tool and has been under
development for over 20 years. In this free webinar, understand how this
industry-standard software can help MEMS designers, process engineers,
and professors save time and costs in the development cycle, share their
designs with others, and teach students about MEMS. The webinar will
cover: process development using virtual fabrication tools, etch recipe
development using process simulators, design rule checking and
cross-sectioning tools for MEMS layout, design exploration and
optimization using behavioral and parametric modeling, recent
developments in automated meshing algorithms, discussion of coupled
FEM-BEM solvers for MEMS multiphysics analysis, linking MEMS models to
