modelling of friction welding process using abaqus

Submitted by venkat_dsk84 on

I am a postgraduate student studying in india.I am doing my project in friction welding . I have to create a finite element model of friction welding process and then simulate it to get the shortening distance.I am new to ABAQUS so help me by sening the procedure for creating a finite element model of friction welding process and then simulating it .

3D Crack analyses using ANSYS

Submitted by Dan Sathiaraj on

i m dan doing ME Engineering Design.I m doing project in the area of probabilistic fracture mechanics.,So i need how to find SIF,J integral,Energy release rate,CDOT  for all type of crack (2D,3D)..,I want some of the material related to this..,i m using Ansys..,so complete step by step procedure in Crack analysis using analysis i want 3d Crack analysis

interface cohesive energy

Submitted by Henry Tan on

Many people here are interested in the behaviours of interfaces.

I am interested in having a list of the cohesive energy for interfaces between different materials, such as polymer/ceramics, polymer/metals, polymer/polymer, metals/ceramics, biological interfaces, carbon nanotube/polymer matrix, etc.

So, what is the magnitude of the cohesive energy per unit area of the interface you are studying?
