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.
The equivalence of the virial stress and Cauchy stress is reviewed
using both theoretical arguments and numerical simulations. Using
thermoelasticity problems as examples, we numerically demonstrate that
virial stress is equivalent to the continuum Cauchy stress. Neglecting
Hello all. I am a phd student from UNB. Now I want to use Abaqus to simulate acoustic problem which is sound transmission from fluid such as air to solid. The outputs I want to get are acoustic pressure in fluid and solid, especially inside solid. What I did before is treating solid as fluid by using acoustic medium. However, the mechanics of solids are fundamentally different from fluids, and its not sensible to treat them the same. For example solids support shear, while fluids do not. Hope someone could answer my question. Thanks a lot.
hi, I'm a student studying ALE method. In the book of "Nonlinear Finite Elements for Continua and Structures" written by Ted Belytschko el, conservation equations which discribed in the reference configuration and current configuration are given out (see chapter 7). But how about Balance Laws in initial configuration?
Hi All,
I am analysing a fiber composite solid plate with a large and small holes. The model is meshed with C3D8R elements. The output has U and RF in global CSYS and S, E in local CSYS. I have problem in reading S and E written in local CSYS. I know it is very simple, but I cant able to figure it out. Those who know, how to read the S and E in local CSYS, please help me. Tks in advance for your time and advice.

Can I use Abaqus for a moving mass problem? I am looking to model a bridge?
Can I use Simulink, ... any comment would be appriciated.
Thanks.
Hello everyone:
1. I have built a FEM model 2D plane strain using ABAQUS/Standard (CPE4R) elements,
2. I am modeling the contact between a cylinder and a plate in 2D.
3. The Cylinder material is given is ELASTIC ISOTROPIC material with no plasticit E=310 GPa
4. The plate is with a Ramberg-Osgood plasticity with a Young's modulus E=210 GPa.
5. The mesh at the the contact point is VERY refined element characteristic length is about 1 micron. (My model units are (mm,N,sec)).
You may remember that I promised some time ago to discuss each of the topics mentioned by Ken Johnson in his Timoshenko Medal speach. Here I take rail corrugation. Rail corrugation has been noticed at least for 100 years, but (particularly short pitch one in the range 20÷80 mm) has been considered an enigma because measured corrugation wavelength did not relate well with wear instabilitymodels.
