Hello,
Strain gradient based (non-local) plasticity and damage models have been studied quite extensively in the literature.
I was wondering if anyone has experience in the development of cohesive zone models that obtain the tractions in front of crack tip not only as a function of the diplacement jump, but also as a function of the gradient of displacement jump.
If yes, can you please point me to the reference?
Dear friends,
I would like to apply angular velocity on a gear in ANSYS. Do you have any idea? Is there any firend having such example? If yes, can you share?
thanks
How do we apply Gauss Quadrature Integration formula to a Circle?
Thank you

Hi,
can somebody please tell me what is the best plasticity model to simulate a high speed collision ,for example invoving a car and why?.
We are planning to set a WEB portal to discuss
1) the example and the role of an Academy of Engineering to find the correct blend of credentials and consensus to set research needs
2) The final 14 NAE resulting "challenges", being set at international level, should be accepted worldwide. Is this really the case, are the European Agencies considering them, or do they think we need to duplicate the search for the "challenges" separately?
Dear Yavari
I have promised more replies on Mandelbrot, fractals, strongly emotive discussions in journals, and here is a coincise statement, which I take from a Nobel prize, prematurely passed away last year. I think it has a lot to teach (including the kind of attitude that leads to Nobel prize, i.e. close to no human weakness), you will recognize the real name of the "Caesar" in this book is somebody with a 58 pages CV on his web site, most likely.
For a better idea of fractals, read please the other attachment.
Regards
Mike
So busy with:
Apr. 29. , the oral defense of my PhD dissertation.
Seeking a PostDoc position.
Moving my house in 2 weeks.
Writing a review on iMechanica on the Journal Club Theme.
Jun. 30, submittion of one journal paper, which is the work of the Chapter 4 of my dissertation.
Another paper submittion in the meantime, the work of the Chapter 3 of my dissertation.
Recent experiments by Arnold et al. (ChemPhysChem, vol. 5, 2004, p383 ) revealed that a distance of less than 58-73 nm between receptor-ligand bonds is necessary to ensure focal adhesion in cells adhering to ligand-coated substrate. An elegant solution to this problem is supplied by Lin, Inamdar, and Freund.
I have a query regarding how to evaluate shape functions of nodes on the boundary (natural boundary conditions ) for weak from for mesh free method.
Mesh free method which I am using is Radial point interpolartion function for the interior nodes and mesh free weak from for the nodes at the boundary ....but facing trouble with the shape function to be used.
Thank you

Saint-Venant's Principle is important in the theory and application of elasticity and its proof or formulation is a major attraction for authors. Among others，Toupin's Theorem plays the most influential role in the history of development concerning Saint-Venant's Principle.
