FEAP - history variables for Elements

Submitted by Mubeen on

Hi all,

my question is about the history data storage in FEAP.

I am writing element subroutine (elmt01) in FEAP 8.3  for a history dependent problem.

I have written the stiffness matrix subroutine (stiff01), but it needs the data from the previous solution steps (previous strains, stresses, plastic strains, dislocation densities .... nh1,nh2=30 per point).

Hi,

I am trying to solve a 3PB specimen with a notch. I am doing the dynamic explicit analysis. I want to find the J-integral. Giving the J-integral as history output. Trying to run it gives following error.

Vibration of Circular Plates

Submitted by hrbeu221 on

Dear All,
These days I am do some research on vibration of circular plates (out-of-plane and in-plane). In the reference, the displacement in radial direction can be expressed with Bessel polynomial. I want to use the Rayleigh-Ritz method to solve these problems. The strain energy and kinetic energy can obtain with integral. If there is the bessel function, how to calculate the integral. Also I want to consider some spring in the boundary to change the boundary conditions.

Is Latent Heat for phase tranformation is mandatory for all kind of gases/liquid?

Submitted by sanjayiway on

Like water, which keep change in phase from vapour, liquid, solid by adding required latent heat at constant temperature. Is this mandatory for all gaes like oxygen, nitrogen, any metal.
