Hello,
Some Finite Element Softwares use the Formulation of an Element and Jump to another one
by Merging Nodes : Quadrilateral to Triangular and Hexahedral to Tetrahedral without modifying
the Shape Functions.
This Method is Mathematically and Numericaly Forbidden because they use the Same Shape Functions
when Merging the Nodes for the Defined First Element (see Element Definition and after Mesh Process).
which element should i consider for the piezoelectric composite plate analysis in ansys. the lay up consists of top and bottom piezo layers and middle graphite epoxy? i want to apply sinusoidal voltage on top piezo layer and i need noidal deflections, please help in doing
Can anyone share how the output of any one of hazard identification techniques such as HAZOP/ JHA/ FMEA in be used as input of Fault Tree Analysis?
Dear colleague,
The sixth issue in 2012 (Volume 25, Issue 6) of Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica (AMSS) is now online.
Welcome to this SCI-indexed journal <http://ees.elsevier.com/camss/> for rapid publication of your exciting results.

Greetings,
As I was struggling for several months to find Gurson's PhD thesis report and as I received many emails from people who were also not finding this reference and asking for help, let me share a scan of the thesis report that I managed to get thanks to a kind and helpfull professor.
Best,
