HPC in ANSYS (Linux)

Submitted by Mohammad Hajsadeghi on

Dear All,

I want to use a robust server (server Enclosure C7000 - 256 cores) for running my FE models in linux. I'm just wandering whether I am able to use all the cores. Also I know nothing about the points related to install and other stuff (MPI??).

all information and helps will be appreciated.

Thanks alot,

M. Hajsadeghi,

RE: RIGOROUS FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FOR PLATE ON SURFACE OF ELASTIC LAYER

Submitted by Amaechi Anyaegbunam on

Dear Forum members

  Does anybody have idea about a publication on the rigorous Finite Element treatment of a plate on surface of elastic layer (infinte horizontally). Existing methods obtain the foundation stiffness by inversion of a flexibility matrix. For an elastic layer the flexibility matrix is approximately obtained by Steinbrenner's assumption. Is a more rigorous fexibility matrix for an elastic layer available? 

PhD Studentship: In-situ quantification of interphase stress during martensitic transformations, Open University, UK

Submitted by RichardMoat_OU on

Fully funded PhD studentship at The Open Univeristy campus, Milton Keynes, UK. The aim of this project is to optimise experimental techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC) and focused ion beam (FIB) hole drilling to investigate the micro scale stresses and strains occurring during martensitic transformations. The techniques will be applied to a range of materials from simple steels to complex shape memory alloys. There will also be scope within the project to study martensitic alloys using central facilities such as the ILL, ESRF and Diamond light source.



Direct influence of residual stress on the bending stiffness of cantilever beams

Submitted by Bin Liu on

Although the cantilever beam has been widely used as a sensor to measure various physical quantities, important issues such as how residual stress affects its bending stiffness and what are the underlying physical origins have not been fully understood. We perform both theoretical analyses and finite-element simulations to demonstrate for the first time that without changing the material tangent stiffness, residual stress within the beam can directly influence the bending stiffness of the beam. This direct influence arises from two origins: geometry nonlinearity and Poisson’s ratio effect.

Dislocation Climb in Two-Dimensional Discrete Dislocation Dynamics

Submitted by Kamyar M Davoudi on

In this paper, dislocation climb is incorporated in a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Calculations are carried out for polycrystalline thin films, passivated on one or both surfaces. Climb allows dislocations to escape from dislocation pile-ups and reduces the strain-hardening rate, especially for fully passivated films. Within the framework of this model, climb modifies the dislocation structures that develop during plastic deformation and results in the formation of pile-ups on slip planes that do not contain any dislocation sources.
