Abaqus Standard /General contact with penetration
Dear Colleague,
I am running Abaqus Examle Problems Manual 1.1.18 - The self contact on rubber gasket.
I tried to convert the self contact and surface contact definition to a general contact definition. However, the rigid surface just penatrate the model like this shown below.
Left image is the result for the inp from manual. The right one is the result for compuation with general contact.
Does somebody here want to discuss or maybe explain this for me ?
Thank you in advance.

Hello again
Im running a simulation on Abaqus and i got the next text message:

aborted with system error code 884.
Please check the .dat, .msg, and .sta files for error messages if the files

Call for Nominations for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched last year, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
hello , in NGUYEN V 's 'An Object-Oriented approach to the Extended Finite Element Method with Applications to Fracture Mechanic
hello , in paper :An object-Oriented approach to the xfem with Appications to fracture mechanics, in page172, the matlab code :mshmlab.m.
when i run the code mshmlab.m , this problem occured:
???Maxmium recursion limit of 500 reached, when i set(0,'recursionlimit',N).N=5000. the matlab crashed,
how to address this issue?

Change of basis for deviatoric second order tensors
Dear mechanicians
I remember reading somewhere that someone had a proof of the following:
Given a deviatoric/traceless second order tensor it is possible to find a basis for which all the normal/direct components equal zero.
For 2d this is easy: a basis rotated 45deg wrt. the eigenbasis.
The proof concerned 3d and it may have been Gurtin that had it in one of his books (sometihng tells me "The Linear Theory of Elasticity" (1972) as I don't have access to this one), but I'm not certain.
