As many of you know, the scientific community lost William (Bill) Klug to a senseless act of violence on June 1, 2016. A memorial to Bill has been penned by his graduate advisor, Michael Ortiz. It has been posted at the following website:

Brown University School of Engineering Professor Kyung-Suk Kim will receive the 2016 Daniel C.
Prof. Ares J. Rosakis was among those elected new members and foreign associates of the National Academy of Sciences, in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863.
Hi every body,
I need to delete an arbitrary set of elemets in abaqus *.inp file before analysis running.
I tried to remove elements with this command in inp file-> (*Model Change, remove), But it does not work. may be because the model is 3D. (a tube)
Is there any way to delete a set of elemets in inp file? or I should write a python script for that?
I appreciate any hints on this problem of mine.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I am looking for an explanation about the formulation used for CONTINUMM SHELL elements in ABAQUS.
Professor Ken Kamrin from MIT has been selected to receive the 2016 Journal of Applied Mechanics Award for his paper “Eulerian Method for Multiphase Interactions of Soft Solid Bodies in Fluids” (JAM 82, 041011, 2015).
It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2015 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award 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. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G. Ravichandran (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University).
On behalf of the 2015 Board of Directors of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new SES award: The James R. Rice Medal. The creation of the new award is motivated by the recognition that while several societies, including the SES, have young-investigator awards as well as others that primarily (although not exclusively) target senior scientists, there are relatively few that are suitable for those who are in the typical mid-career age of 40-55. The award, named after Professor James R.
Hello,
I have some troubles in calculating the strain in ABAQUS. I have the following Model with one element (see picture) and a linear elastic isotropic Material (Steel), which is sheared in the x-direction. The analytical result of the strain tensor gives me in xz-direction 0.25 (see picture). The result in ABAQUS is 0.5. I ran the same simulation in CalculiX CrunchiX and got the expected strain of 0.25 in the xz-direction
Can anyone tell me how ABAQUS calculates the strain for a linear static analysis? Why is the ABAQUS result exactly 50% higher?
