Model of Pavement for moving load
Hi
I want to model a pavemnt of three layer and apply moving loads on it by ANSYS. There will be interface between the layers. How can I apply the load? If I merge and compress all after meshing; Is it the correct way to do that?

Optimal structural design against elastic instability
In the classical Euler buckling problem, the critical buckling load can be increased by a factor of four if the first mode is suppressed by placing an additional simple support at the mid-point.
modelling of axisymmetric cold extrusion die by abaqus
my problem is simulation of axisymmetric cold extrusion die. the die is conical, i have to determine die pressure, ram force and temprature in billet as well in die, plz see attached file and see simulation figure, my problem is same as in file,i have facing interaction problem in abaqus while solving this problem. plz help me
Mr
Hi friends,
I need to transfer stiffness and mass matrices from ABAQUS to Matlab. ABAQUS does generate matrices but those can be re-used by ABAQUS only. Is there a way to use these matrices in matlab. I know about SDT toolbox for matlab and I-MAT but they are costly.

Dear all
How can I model the static ground water table (no flow) in soil using 3d ABAQUS ?
How to change the Navier equations for non-uniform Lame's constants
Hi Everyone,
I have to confess here that I do not have a mechanics background but I am currently working on a problem where i have to solve the Navier equation with non-uniform Lame constants of an object. If anyonme could guide me towards the necessary literature or any other resource it would be very helpful. Sorry for any inconvenience.
A new paper on the nanoscale plasticity in twinned gold nanowires
A new paper titled "Enabling Ultrahigh Plastic Flow and Work Hardening in Twinned Gold Nanowires " from Dr. Sansoz's group just came out on the latest issue of NanoLetters. Attached below is the abstract and the full paper can be found at: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl803553b. We welcome any comment about this paper as well as our research.
Chaboche elasto-viscoplastic model with plastic strain memorization and time-recovery in ANSYS
Hi, I am a reserach fellow of mechanical engineering in Italy. I need to implement the elasto-viscoplastic model of Chaboche in a user subroutine in ANSYS accounting also for the plastic strain memorization and for the static and dynamic recovery. In a next step I sould also need to incorporate the damage variable of this model.
Phase Field Modelling of Fracture Mechanics
Hello To one and All,
I am currently working on my Master's thesis in Computational Mechanics and as the Title suggests, I am working on using phase field theories to model fracture mechanics. The whole idea /concept of phase field modelling in itself has been a very complex topic for me, as it originates in superconductivity theories of which I have but a superficial understanding. I am ok with fracture mechanics terminology as I have worked on it before.
