Dear All
Hi..
Can Any body tell Me The calculation of the E_t Tangent And E_s Secant Modules VAlues of the Stress Strain curve?...
i had go through some of graphs but i dont get it?..it will be help ful to understanfd the E_t And E_s?..
i had values of Stress and Strain and also a Stress strain curve available..
Plz do need ful..

I often read on books that linear triangles do not have membrane locking for large deformations of plates/shells. I completely don't understand how this is possible. If one uses the well-known CST, stretching is measured as the increase in lenght of each edge of the triangle. Then, in the limit of the membrane stiffness going to infinity, clearly the solution cannot approximate any bending-dominated state, but rather it will be always rigid on general meshes (i.e. Minkowski theorem for convex bodies), allowing at most bending about few lines on very regular ones. What am I missing?
In this paper we extend the classical method of lattice dynamics to defective crystals with partial symmetries. We start by a nominal defect configuration and first relax it statically. Having the static equilibrium configuration, we use a quasiharmonic lattice dynamics approach to approximate the free energy. Finally, the defect structure at a finite temperature is obtained by minimizing the approximate Helmholtz free energy. For higher temperatures we take the relaxed configuration at a lower temperature as the reference configuration.
Dear iMechanica users,
I would like to write a UEL for 2 or 3D element types used in large deformation, but, I really have little experience in it. Is there any UEL example apart from the simple 1D example in Abaqus manual and the complicated one written by Eugenio (XFEM)?
Thanks,
Hadi

All classical boundary conditions including two distinct types of simple support boundary conditions are formulated by using the Rayleigh quotient variational principle for rectangular plates undergoing inplane free vibrations. The direct separation of variables is employed to obtain the exact solutions for all possible cases. It is shown that the exact solutions of natural frequencies and mode shapes can be obtained when at least two opposite plate edges have either type of the simply-supported conditions, and some of the exact solutions were not available before.
Hi all,
There are two poisson ratios for membrane element in Abaqus. One is for the material and the other one is "effective section poisson ratio", which can be set to zero to fix the thickness of the membrane. Does anyone know how these two Poisson ratios work in the constitutive equation of a membrane?
Thank you very much!
