In beam FEM problem generally the nodal displacement (v) and slope (θ) are taken as primary unknowns to determine the element shape function. What will be the obstackle/s if, instead of considering the slope, the nutral axis curvature (κ) is considered as primary unknown along with the displacement?
A post-doc position is available at the University of Notre Dame in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The project focuses on nanocomposite deformation modeling and performing corresponding experiments using primarily atomic force microscope and X-ray diffractometer. Initial position is for one-year and is extensible for another year contingent upon continued funding. The position offers attractive collaborative opportunities with national labs and material synthesis groups across different universities. Salary is negotiable.
Hi guys,
if any body know how to break elements at some specific points during the analysis, would yo please help me?

I am currently conducting biomechanical research on the deflection of the human clavicle during side-impact vehicle collisions. Does anyone have experience with using complex forms of Beam Theory? It may turn out to be fruitless, but I would like to investigate the possibility of using beam theory to model this complex S-shaped bone. Any guidance is much appreciated!
Thank you,
Ali

Hi everyone out there...
Now i'm working on biomechanics research project which deals with the articulating surface of joint replacement, where one of the main problem were the wear of sliding contact (i.e., metal on polymer,metal on metal or polymer on ceramics).wear debris or particles generated from this articulating surface can causes the damage of the bone cell around the joint replacement.My question are;
Hi everyone
I want to use Abaqus Implicit UMAT with K&C model to modelling concrete behavior .
As I know, when using Implicit, we have to update Jacobian stiffness matrix.
Is there anyone can help me? Please show me how to establidh and update stiffness matrix for K&C model.
Thank you very much,

Hello to everybody
I want to detect strain localization in geological materials and follow the path and the way that shear band propagate in seismic condition, so I want to know is there any meshfree commercial package to handle dynamic nonlinear analysis for geological materials specially rock and soil. Does exist Even a good source code that i improve it (not so much) and make it effecient for my purpose ?
I appreciate anyone help me and give me information in such field.
Truly
Babak
