User material subroutine for Johnson Cook Model in LS DYNA

Submitted by venkateshmdeshpande on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

I need to edit user subroutine for existing Johnson Cook model (MAT_015) in LS DYNA. I have downloaded object files. However, I could not find any subroutine file for MAT_015. I need to edit the model and add 2 more parameters to increase its accuracy. Creating it from scratch is really a lengthy task. Can anyone help me in this regard? Thank you.

Fatigue of Graphene

Submitted by Teng Cui on

Materials can suffer mechanical fatigue when subjected to cyclic loading at stress levels much lower than the ultimate tensile strength, and understanding this behaviour is critical to evaluating long-term dynamic reliability. The fatigue life and damage mechanisms of two-dimensional (2D) materials, of interest for mechanical and electronic applications, are currently unknown. Here, we present a fatigue study of freestanding 2D materials, specifically graphene and graphene oxide (GO).

Journal Club for February 2020: Machine Learning in Mechanics: simple resources, examples & opportunities

Submitted by mbessa on

Machine learning (ML) in Mechanics is a fascinating and timely topic. This article follows from a kind invitation to provide some thoughts about the use of ML algorithms to solve mechanics problems by overviewing my past and current research efforts along with students and collaborators in this field. A brief introduction on ML is initially provided for the colleagues not familiar with the topic, followed by a section about the usefulness of ML in Mechanics, and finally I will reflect on the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Water Affects Morphogenesis of Growing Aquatic Plant Leaves

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Lotus leaves floating on water usually experience short-wavelength edge wrinkling that decays toward the center, while the leaves growing above water normally morph into a global bending cone shape with long rippled waves near the edge. Observations suggest that the underlying water (liquid substrate) significantly affects the morphogenesis of leaves.

Pattern selection in core-shell spheres

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Curvature-induced symmetry-breaking pattern formation and transition are widely observed in curved film/substrate systems across different length scales such as embryogenesis, heterogeneous micro-particles, dehydrated fruits, growing tumors and planetary surfaces.
