Convergence Analysis of the Wolf Method for Coulombic Interactions

Submitted by arash_yavari on

A rigorous proof for convergence of the Wolf method for calculating electrostatic energy of a periodic lattice is presented. In particular, we show that for an arbitrary lattice of unit cells, the lattice sum obtained via Wolf method converges to the one obtained via Ewald method.

plasticity model with damage ductile criterion

Submitted by Mariona Bosch on

Hello ,

 

 I´m working in my thesis with abaqus only since 4 months, so I´m quite new. I have to simulate the welding of two sheets with electromagnetic pulse process. Under these kind of processes the material is load under high values of velocity and deformations. Taking into account these conditions I have chosen three different flow plasticity models:

-Isotropic plasticity model without strain rate with johnson cook damage ductile criterion.

I need this paper for reference. But I cannot find the full text. Could anyone, who has a copy of it, send a copy to me? Thanks so much.

hi 

I want to model a metal with nonlinear kinematic hardening material in ABAQUS. As i read in its user guide manual there is one option in plastic hardening named combined. I want to know if it is an option for modeling a material for combined kinematic and isotropic hardening or nonlinear kinematic?

thanks in advance

Systematic Evaluation of Bonding Strength and Fracture Toughnessess of Adhesive Joints

Submitted by Arun Krishnan on

We have carried out systematic experimental tests to evaluate the bonding strength and fracture toughness of adhesive joints. Our work has been published in Journal of Adhesion as one among the collection of papers honoring Prof. David Dillard for receiving the Adhesion Society Award for Excellence in Adhesion Science sponsored by 3M.

 

Extension limit, polarization saturation, and snap-through instability of dielectric elastomers

Submitted by Bo Li on

A dielectric elastomer is capable of largevoltage-induced deformation, particularly when the voltage is applied on theverge of snap-through instability.  Thispaper describes a model to show that the snap-through instability is markedlyaffected by both the extension limit of polymer chains and the polarizationsaturation of dipoles.  The model mayguide the search for high-performance dielectric elastomer transducers.
