Submitted by cooperrc on

Hello all,

I am interested in using a finite element software in a supercomputer setting (i.e. bluegene, cray, etc.). Does anyone have experience running finite element solutions on massively parallel supercomputers? What solvers are most amenable to such a task?

We are delighted to announce the publication of the first papers in Case Studies in Fire Safety. Case Studies in Fire Safety provides an open forum for the rapid publication of short, structured case studies in fire safety and related short communications providing an essential compendium of case studies for fire protection engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners in the field of fire safety.

Transient Dynamic Analysis of Clamped Clamped Laminated Cylindrical Shell

Submitted by debian_asl on

Dear friends,

I am trying to find thife transient dynamics response of clamped clamped laminated cylindrical shell subjected to Radial impulsive load. I am getting very irregular response using Newmark Integration scheme. But, using HHT-alpha method, high frequency noise from the response gets removed, but damping is intrdoced (Numerical Damping). Although i have not introduced and damping in my model. How to overcome this problem.

I need help in this regard.

ABAQUS

Submitted by eswarank.1988 on

Hi I need a help if anyone can solve my problem please help me out. I want to use the output file of the result as a input file in ABAQUS i.e, if a apply tensile load to a model it will elongate and I need the elongated model as a input file for carrying out the next step. If anyone can pl send me the .jnl file or .inp or .cae file. I am using ABAQUS/STANDARD VERSION 6.8

Forensics: residual stress of fractured part

Submitted by Mike Prime on

I’ll present this below without the answer, in case you want to enjoy a little brain teaser. It is a solid and experimental mechanics problem that, while not terribly practical, I found very interesting:

A part fractures cleanly in two by brittle fracture (no plasticity) under the action of residual and applied stresses. You only have the broken part in front of you, no prior information.

 What were the original residual stresses on the fracture plane?

simulate inclusion-matrix debonding under tensile load with abaqus cohesive element

Submitted by Lang Zhou on

Dear all:

  I want to simulate the  inclusion-matrix debonding under tensile load with abaqus cohesive element.But when I added the cohesive element around the inclusion, the stress filed was totally changed. I think it is because the stiffness of the cohesive element (K/G1/G2)was not right. Do you know how to choose it so it will not affect the stress field of the oringinal structrure? or can you give me an example? Thanks very much.
