Elastic failure criterion
Forums
Dear all,
I would like to define an elastic material with a
failure value of maximum tensile strain only. Any element reaches a max.
tensile strain value will crack and suffer complete loss of load
carrying capacity(possibly delete that element). Thus its a change in
geometry that is only considered when redistributing stresses.
Could this be done in ABAQUS or any other Finite Element Software?...I have been working with ABAQUS for some time now but I could not reach any where
Thanks for the help

International Conference on Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials IX 16-21 September 2012, Hyannis, MA, USA
Call for Papers - deadline 9 December 2011
Submit your abstract here: www.fatiguedamageconference.com
We welcome poster and abstract submissions on the following topics:
The surface effect on the strain energy release rate of buckling delamination in thin film–substrate systems
Gurtin–Murdoch continuum surface elasticity model is employed to study the buckling
delamination of ultra thin film–substrate system. The effects of surface deformation and
residual stress on the large deflection of ultra thin film are considered in analysis. A
concept of effective bending rigidity (EBR) for ultra thin plate is proposed on the basis of
Gurtin–Murdoch continuum theory and the principle of minimum potential energy. The
governing equations with EBR are formally consistent with the classical plate theory,
No Application will be considered--- Research position for doctoral candidate or postdoc at TU Darmstadt, Germany
No more applications will be considered for the above mentioned the position.
Thank you for the interest.
One postdoctoral position in advanced concrete materials starting May 2012
Dear All,
I am looking for one postdoctor to work on advanced concrete materials and modeling. The desired candidates will have a solid knowledge on concrete materials and mechanics, and are familiar with advanced modeling of hydration, water or chemical transfer in concrete. Extra considerations will be given to candidates with some experimental experiences on concrete microstructures and material characterization.
PhDs/Postdocs in modeling composite structures/materials
Dear All,
I am looking for highly motivated PhDs/PostDocs to join my group to work on various aspects of efficient high-fidelity modeling of composite structures/materials, mainly related with VABS/VAPAS/VAMUCH. The basic qualifications are: basic training in solid mechanics and composite materials, excellent math and programming skills, and good English communication skills. Please let me know if you are interested or if you know somebody is interested.

J integral variation through thickness in tubes with through-wall circumferential crack, calculated with Abaqus/CAE
Dear friends: I am a PhD candidate studying fracture problems in tubes. I am doing J integral calculations in Abaqus, for tubes with through-wall circumferential cracks subjected to tensile and bending loads. I am using quadratic 20 nodes isoparametric elements with reduced integration (C3D20R), ranging from two to five elements through the wall thickness mesh.
