I have modeled a pile which was made to penetrate at a constant rate (Displacement controlled loading) into the soil. The steps were divided into geostatic, contact and Applied load steps. After the program runs successfully, i am facing difficulty in extracting the results.

 I want to plot the load vs. displacement curve at the bottom of the pile.  After i have summed up all the nodal forces at the bottom of the pile, the total load was coming quite less as compared to the applied Load/Displacement.

How to differentiate between the analysis of a "hollow pile with closed top and an open end" with "vented top and open ended pile".

After applying compressive load at both the pile tops (closed and vented), i have obtained/observed that the vented pile is offering higher resistance to penetration as compared to closed top pile.

Hi,

Can somebody suggest me a good book for micromechanical modeling of composites?

Thanks 

Hi,

I'm trying to do simulation on Abrasive sand paper. I want to calculate the amount of material removed from the workpiece after some  number cycles.

 Can any one help me how can I start this simulation in abaqus.

Dear Colleague,



Engineering and Computational Mechanics is currently looking for papers on the theme of Disaster and Hazard engineering for publication in 2014. Sub-topics include risk analysis and pre-emptive disasters.

Other themes EACM is interested in are: Fluid Structure interaction especially ringing phenomenon; Energy and renewable energy including offshore and waves; and review papers covering the themes in the call for papers.
