A MD simulation of nano-void growth in Copper under uniaxial tension

Recentely we did a MD simulation work on the nano-void growth in Copper, welcome to my blog for any discussion..

 I want to study dynamic response of plates using element free galerkin method. But i have difficulty imposing essential boundary conditions. I have tried Chen's full transformation method. Can someone tell me how to impose essential boundary condition to solve eigen value problems?

FEMLAB-COMSOL Multiphysics

Hi,

I am a PhD student and I have just started to work on FEMLAB and was just wondering if someone could help me with FEMLAB. I am using at the moment the PDE modes-Weak forms to solve flow over topography using the lubrication equation. I have implemented the lubrication equations into the subsomain settings and set the boundary conditions  but i do get wrong results. Could you please advice where i might have done wrong.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated.

Many thanks

Catherine

 

Some loud (and crazy) thinking on automobiles...

At iMechanica, almost none talks about topics from structural dynamics and design, theory of machines, automotive mechanics, space mechanics, etc.

Let me help correct this situation by raising two questions below. Well-thought answers from any individual are welcome.

First, some background for the questions.

H-M coupled problem

Hello, I'm working in my doctoral thesis. I work in drying cracks in soils. At the moment I'm starting to implement my code but I want to start with simplest case.

My problem is high nonlinear and for this reason I need to solve for example flow in unsaturated porous media. Are there any code in matlab to solve nonlinear problems in 1D ? for flow in porouos media or for heat transmition it could be useful for me.

Thank you very much.

QUESTION REGARDING FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

HI ALL


Actually I  am a Student of 2 year M. Tech. studying in S. V. National  Institute of Technology, Surat My name is Zoeb K Lakdawala. My topic for disseration is 'Implemenation of Fracture Mechanics on Pressure  Vessels". In my disseration I want to develop a code on fracture mechanics and compare it with standard Packages like ANSYS & ABAQUS.

Hello every body 

I am a novice (new one) on this web site and I just began, I am preparing my master on composites and I think that you have more informations than me on this subject my problem is that Iam in the coparative step between my results and the others.

my work is on the crack of composites mode II (sliding mode) I'm modelizing that phenomen with finit element to find the enegy of sustitution the problem is that I have not found any results by web and unfotunatly we have not books on this subject in my university.

crack velocity and FGM

hi, everybody

i am going to simulate crack propagate by ABAQUS, but i haven't used ABAQUS before.
now i have two problems:
 1) can abaqus calculate the velocity of crack advancing?

 2)FGM(functionally graded materials ). material property varies at
 different position,such as density ,modulus, possion ration. can
 abaqus deal with this problem by umat .

thanks.

Mechanical threshold stress model for 6061-T6 aluminum

Our paper on the Mechanical threshold stress (MTS) model for 6061-T6 aluminum has been accepted by JoMMS.  There are several things of interest in the paper:

1) The use of a phonon drag model to predict the sharp increase in flow stress at strain rates above 10,000 /s.  This behavior is seen in a  number of materials and is hard to fit using standard power law plasticity models.  Our model does a good job in this regard.

Interfacial moisture diffusion using cohesive zone elements

Hello every body,

As most of you know, fracture mechanics of polymer materials needs a special consideration of the viscoelastic material properties. Especially under thermomechanical loading the role of glass transition temperature T_g is very important. That is why people try to characterize the material with different methods including stress relaxation based on Time-Temperature superposition or DMA test.

Viscoelastic (generalized maxwell) model in MSC.Marc or ABAQUS

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Greetings all,

I am trying to use gerenalized maxwell viscoelastic model for polyimide polymer films (Kapton) in MSC Marc (or ABAQUS). I have never used the prony series representation of the maxwell model (hereditary integral approach). Has anyone ever used MSC Marc to incorporate the prony series relaxation to the material? or ABAQUS? Here is my game plan for doing this:
