modeling of Porous medium and its solution methods in ABAQUS?

Submitted by krishnagoud on Mon, 01/12/2009 - 10:25

Hi all,

I am krishna working on FE knee joint modeling in ABAQUS. I am beginner to Abaqus

As i have read from the journal papers, I understood that cartilage and meniscus are poroelastic (porous medium).

My axisymmetric model consists of following.

1. Cartilage is modelled with CAX4PH (axisymmetric pore pressure elements)

2. Meniscus is also with the same elements

3.Tibial bone with CAX4 elements.

Since
contact beween two deformable bodies create computational difficulties,

Spectral Element

Submitted by ramdas chennamsetti on Sat, 01/10/2009 - 09:27

Hi all,

I have just started learning (working) on spectral element method for modeling elastic wave propagation. I wrote a small code for bar spectral element. There is some problem in reconstruction of signal. If anybody is working in this area may write back. I will send my code. If anybody is having a sample code, I requet them to kindly share.

With regards,
