Submitted by haris33 on

Hi,



i need some help in writing the surface mesh in abaqus. i have a wing model, meshed using hexahedral mesh. now what i want is to write the surface element detail on a file, containing the element number and its neighbouring four nodes. for example



12, 2 3 5 6



here 12 is the element number and 2,3,5 & 6 are the corresponding nodes.

Fracture mechanics in ABAQUS

Submitted by Dipak Rakshit on

I am new in this forum.I am trying to model Fibre reinfored Polymer

fracture in ABAQUS . But, In website I could not find any example for

that.I have done fracture model for isotropic material such as

Alluminium using Contour Integral.But, for this FRP I am being unable to

model   it.What should be my consideration (different from isotropic)

using this contour integral.I want a tensile matrix cracking or

matrix-fibre interface cracking or fibre cracking. Please help me in

this regard.

Difficulties in indexing monoclinic crystalline materials by wide angle X-ray diffraction

For monoclinic polycrystalline materials, how can we uniquely index the X-ray diffraction spectrum so that we can calculate the accurate lattice parameters a, b, c and beta? Due to the fact that there are four unknown variables coupled to determine d-spacings, we can not easily read out the lattice parameters until enough diffraction peaks positions are obtained correctly. This leads to two questions

1. How do we get the full diffraction peaks from a monoclinic polycrystalline sample if it is partially textured?

Weyl Geometry and the Nonlinear Mechanics of Distributed Point Defects

Submitted by arash_yavari on

In this paper we obtain the residual stress field of a nonlinear elastic solid with a spherically-symmetric distribution of point defects. To our best knowledge, this is the first nonlinear solution for point defects since the linear solution of Love in the 1920s.
