What is the difference between RVE and Unit Cell ?

Submitted by sspadhee on
research

I have been working in composites for sometime now. In the literature I have found that the words  "Representative Volume Element" (RVE) and "Unit Cell" (UC)  are  used frequently.  Some  authors treat them differently and some treat them  same. I am little bit confused can anyone PLEASE clarify the situation or suggest some good papers to read.

 

Thanks In Advance.

Hello,

I am pursuing masters and I have chosen the orthogonal cutting

simulation as my project.

We have done the experimentation work and now I am looking for the FEA

simulation of the same operation. (The parameters I am interested in

are Chip Morphology, Cutting Forces & Residual stresses in the

component)



I am just going to use explicit first time and I am looking for some

reference doc. & input file.



Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

The preprint provides the summary and/or review of current state-of-art in coarse-grained modeling of protein structures for normal mode analysis. This review summarizes the quasiharmonic analysis, Go model, elastic network model, and recently suggested coarse-grained models for protein structures.
