Hi, I am just making an entry here to introduce myself.
I am an ethnobotanist studying the origin, domestication, and dispersal of taro, a semiaquatic herb (in nature). My role is historian to the crop, so I try to learn anything and everything I can about the plant, from all points of view.
Hi,
I have been watching some small seeds germinate on different media.
The root pops out first, from a split in one end of the seed, navigates down to the substrate, then inserts itself into the substrate if it can (e.g. when placed on sand or soil). Otherwise it grows along the surface horizontally (on filter paper). The vertical growing plant also puts out a horizontal set of very fine root hairs, at the ground surface, and then stands up, lifting the seed into the air with the first leaves still stuck inside the seed.
Using ANSYS, I'm trying to create a single 2D cell model that has 3 components - nucleus (represented by a circular area), cytoplasm (represented by a circular area) and cytoskeleton (represented by a line). When I apply a load on the model, the link element of the cytoskeleton does not deformed whereas the rest of the solid elements (nucleus and cytoplasm) deform. I can't find a function that i can use to glue the line to the area of interest. Does anyone know how to combine or embed a link into an area?

I need a bit help in preparing my seminar topic on the subject "Miniature disk bend testing".If anyone can help me out from this problem i will be indebted for life time.
You can post me the link, sites, any information on my email id- bapu285 [at] gmail.com.
waiting for a reply.
please help me out from this problem
Dear colleagues
I have written a user element subroutine by FORTRAN but when I call it through the ABAQUS (version 6.4), during loading the inp file, an error produces related to FORTRAN compiler (Compaq visual Fortran 6.5) as below:

Dear all,
I am new to X-FEM, started reading papers a couple of weeks before. I understood, functions[heaviside,sign..] are used to enrich the nodes to simulate virtually the discontinuity and asymptotic functions are used to charecterize the crack tip,other than this regular FEM nodes are there. I have few questions.
recommend more references about this topic: S. van der Zwaag Editor, Self Healing Materials-An Alternative Approach to 20 Centuries of Materials Science. Springer, 2007. about half of this book talk self healing polymers.
Hi all,
I am implementing visco-hypoelasticity in my FEA code for my research as
given in the 4.8.6 ANSYS manual.
I have relaxation only in the shear modulus and not in the pressure. The
manual doesn't give the explicit expression for the shear elastic stress
term and the pressure stress term. I extrapolated the expressions from what
is given, and the code is not working properly. Can you please tell me if
I am a third yr undergraduate student of Aerospace Engineering department, IIT Kharagpur. I have a very simple question in strucutral mechanics. Is there any analytical solution available for deflection of plate under distributed load? The governing equation is well known and has been attached as an image file. Only classical plate theory can be considered. The boundary conditions can be taken as classical boundary conditions. So that can be any combination of a) hinged b) clamped and c) free boundary conditions.
For this journal club, I have chosen a topic that might be fresh on everyone’s mind considering it was the focus of the August issue of the MRS Bulletin. The general topic is self-healing polymers.
