What is the best way to numerically solve the transport equation like(the least numerical diffusion phenomenon):

df/dt+v df/dx=0

 Thank you

It is known that the if the coloumn is long and slender enough, then under axial compressive loading, the column buckles..

But i am wonder, why buckling happens at all?

Can anyone put a light on this.

We all know Euler buckling of a beam under axial thrust, but can buckling occur in an elastic structure in which all elements are subject to tensile dead loading?

We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.youtube.com/user/RoyalSociety#p/u/0/EKngs1vvcJU

Dear All,

I am writing to introduce to you a general-purpose composite beam solver, GEBT, which can capture all the geometrical nonlinearity obtainable by the six fundamental deformation modes (extension, torsion, bending in two directions, and shearing in two directions), and the coupling between these fundamental deformantion modes, such as extension-twist coupling commonly existing in initially twisted rotorblades. The features of GEBT are:

Dear all,

      I would like to ask you how is it possible to import into abaqus a 2-D or a 3-D Voronoi structure. so far I ve been able to create my grains into Matlab or fortran but I dont know how to import them into abaqus.

All the best,

HI There,

I am going to generate a polymer chain and I am looking for a hexagonal self avoiding walk (SAW) code (computer program), most 3D free code (C nad fortran) are for qubic latice. 

Thanks

hi, i am modeling a composite shell in ansys for nonlinear bucklin analysis.

i have to apply a displacement from one end keeping radial and circumferential degree constant. I have used shell 4node 181 for modelling and element elemrnt size 10.

Also i have to applied a torque of 0.0005 degree so as to perform torsional analysis on shell.

I am confused how to apply this axial displacement and radial degree of displacement to shell in ANSYS 11.

PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
