Wave propagation simulation in ANSYS
Hi,
I am trying to simulate wave propagation in ANSYS for the following model,
Model size = 1e-6 m x 1e-6 m
I am using plane 182 elements with plane strain option. The material properties are E = 74 GPa, Poisson's ratio = 0.1 and density = 2530 kg/m3.

Complex numbers in structural dynamics

Dear All,
Can you recommend a book, which introduces complex numbers in the context of
structural dynamics?
It seems that recasting differential equations with unknown acceleration,
velocity and displacement in the complex number format helps to arrive at the
solution. It seems indispensable when dealing with damping.
I am looking for a resource that formulates dynamic equations of motions
using complex numbers, with step-by-step explanations.
Your advice and thoughts will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Stefan

SUBMODELLING IN ABAQUS and MASS DIFFUSION ANALYSIS
Do any body working on ABAQUS Submodelling for Mass diffusion analysis.
History of Bueckner’s principle?
I am hoping someone has some historical knowledge of some
interesting mechanics, or just an interest to discuss it. A superposition principle is widely used to solve crack problems, with illustrations like these:
