Many of us (including myself) have used the nonlinear equations for elastic plates, originally proposed by von Karman (1910). I recently came across a book with some interesting comments about the plate equations, which may be of interest to share with others on imechanica. The book's title is "Plates and Junctions in Elastic Multi-Structures", authored by Philippe G. Ciarlet and published by Springer-Verlag in 1990.
Hi!
I am wondering if anyone here knows of a generic heat engine simulator. I.e. something that can simulate the behavior of reciprocating engines, Stirling engines, and so forth.
The outputs I'm interested in include things like power and efficiency. The input variables that I would play around with include engine dimensions and material properties.
hi all,
I am a mechanical engineer currently pursuing Master degree (Post graduation). Ultimately i also want to pursue a research leading to PhD after my master's. Its my burning desire to do some significant research in the field of Fatigue analysis using Fracture mechanics approach preferably for aerospace domain using advanced CAE softwares like Nasgrow, Afgrow, Abaqus, FE-safe, MSC Fatigue, etc,..
Hi,
I am trying to simulate the motion of an Euler-Bernoulli beam (clamped-free) using finite differences. Using the explicite scheme works, but the time step condition is a bit too restrictive for my case (I need real-time computations at 44kHz sampling frequency)
Hence, I try to use an implicite schemes. The problem is then that the oscillation of the beam is damped (no damping terms are included in my motion equation for now) and seems to contain just the first mode of vibration.

2. “Thermal-Elastic Behaviors Of Staggered Composites”, Fan Yang , Dai-Ning Fang and Bin Liu (Tsinghua University, China).
Using the data from 3D hybrid lattice boltzmann code under parallel environments, some interesting simulated results are obtained by using Tecplot.
