Curve Fitting for Viscoplastic (Anand) Model in ANSYS

Submitted by SaiSudharsanan on

Hello everyone, 

            I would like to know if it is possible to use TBFT option in ANSYS to curve-fit Anand's model parameters using experimental force-displacement data.

     I am aware that the ANSYS manual  has description for hyperelastic and even chaboche model, but is there an established procedure to obtain Anand model parameters using experimental curve fitting ? 

 

Thank you. 

HELP!

 Hi my friends!

I hope everythin's ok! 

As I previously said I'm doing some researches about fully developed turbulent flow inside an annuli.Now I've faced some problems. Does anyone know how can I calculate Darcy friction factor for a fully developed turbulent regime inside an annuli not using colebrook equations and moody diagram? is there any other way?

I'd be really thankful if anyone could help me .

New view of DNA

Submitted by bin.chen on

Recently, the classical view of DNA as an isotropic elastic rod has been questioned. Here we model DNA as an elastic rod inlaid with fibrils, based on which we have made prediction that is in consistency with experiments. Our analysis suggests that the bending of short DNAs can be facilitated if there exists a specific structural heterogeneity.

Is anyone familiar with deriving shape functions for different beam end conditions?

Submitted by santhosh_ajayy on

I am doing my research in nonlinear vibration of beams. In that research, I have to derive the shape function for different end conditions of the beam. Regarding this,I need some ideas. Are there books I can reference?

Thank you for your help.

I would like to use condensation to calculate the normal modes of
a structure. These grids are connected to the structure through RBE3 (master
grid). Let me know if there's a way to use the master grids of RBE3 elements in

I heard a sound in my email Inbox. It was from the editor-in-chief of Elsevier's Engineering Failure Analysis journal. I opened the email and read that my paper was accepted to be published under some conditions for revisions per peer reviewer's comments.
