Ok, i have an euler beam having rectangular cross section. but it's shear center axis and neutral axis are different. how can i obtain the equation of motion of this beam for transverse vibrations?
any help??

Can the arc-length algorithm for simulating the plastic collapse of solid structures converge using ANSYS ?

Submitted by pfliu@zju.edu.cn on

For complex composite structures, I have never succeeded in finding the parameter configuration which can reach the convergence using ANSYS. Who can give me some instruction?

 am a student of M. Tech. 2nd year. My project topic for dissertation is "Numerical & Experimental Estimation of Fracture Toughness of Some Materials using Compact Tension Specimen". In this dissertation I also wanted to develop a code which directly gives me the values of stress intensity factor just like ansys.

Actually I have develop an matlab programm (using linear quadrilateral element) which gives me the value of displacement at the cracktip using that i would be finding the displacement extrapolation method i would be calculating stress intensity factors

Dear all,

 

I went through the forums and came across one similar topic, posted by alex_612 "Using Matlab to optimize the ABAQUS/Explicit FE mode", but with no replies. So I would like to bring this similar topic up again.



The problem:



1. I would like to open ABAQUS CAE thought MATLAB (which i have managed to do with the dos('command')), and then run a script as well, through MATLAB. I am using MATLAB 7 and would preferably like to run the whole process thought MATLAB.

How to measure the deformation in the soil

Submitted by Xiangpeng Kong on

Recentl, in my research ,I need measure the deformation in the soil caused by the simulation of tunnelling construction in the labotory.In China, I have not found the proper devices to get the deformation occured under the simulation soil surface.Anyone who knows the devices or give me the advice will be appreciated!
