In the attached paper (accepted for publication), we present enriched FE formulations to impose Bloch-periodic boundary conditions. Bloch-periodic BCs arise in the description of wave-like phenomena in periodic media: periodic composites, Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics, photonic band-gap materials, etc. For a perspective, see the J-Club on elastodynamic bandgaps and metamaterials that was organized by Biswajit Banerjee
Hi friends,
I am a new researcher in fracture mechanics of composite area.
i want to find out the fracture toughness using VCCT method in Ansys.
please help me . i dont know how to extract the crack nodal force dcb specimen in Ansys.
I am using Meshless Petrov-Galerkin Method(MLPG) for non-rectangular domains. There is a flexibility of using any shape for weight function and also for local quadrature domain. Here in my case case weight function domain and local quadrature domains are same.
I want to know that , for non-rectangular domains,how the different shapes of weight functions (specially circular or rectangular) will affect accuracy of the result ?
Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique, which has been successfully applied to improve fatigue performance of metallic components. The key beneficial characteristic after LSP treatment is the presence of compressive residual stresses beneath the treated surface of metallic materials, mechanically produced by high magnitude shock waves induced by a high-energy laser pulse. Finite element analysis method has been applied in order to predict the residual stresses and plastic deformation induced by LSP.
I have finished building the transfer function model of mechanic systems in MATLAB. But now if I am going to write the model in C language, what could I do? Any hints, fire are welcome!
