Join us for this interactive web workshop where we will demonstrate 3D image processing and analysis using Simpleware software. We walk also you through the workflow of building high-quality models for advanced analysis of anatomies, implants, medical devices, and surgical techniques.
Dear All,
I am modelling a 3 point bend specimen with Cohesive elements tied to the upper and lower halves of the specimen in 2d.
The problem is that the CZ elements perform properly only for a combination of element sizes, i.e. a combination of element size of structure and CZ elements, for instance in my case the structure/specimen element size is 0.2mm and CZ is 0.001 or 0.002. For any other combination the adjacent elements bend as shown in the attached image.
I will be glad if someone could explain this behaviour and the solution.

I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show that kinematic hardening effects play a significant role in monotonic/static fracture.

A fully-funded Ph.D. position is available in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a starting date of August 2019. The focus of the project is on flow separation control. Our research integrates wind tunnel testing and advanced experimental fluid dynamic techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) to investigate the flow structures and apply more effectively flow control techniques for aerospace and wind energy applications.
In this manuscript with Lev Truskinovsky, we developed a new nonlinear theory of large-strain incompatible surface growth. Surface growth is a crucial component of many natural and artificial processes from cell proliferation to additive manufacturing. In elastic systems, surface growth is usually accompanied by the development of geometrical incompatibility leading to residual stresses and triggering various instabilities. Here we developed a nonlinear theory of incompatible surface growth which quantitatively linkes deposition protocols with post-growth states of stress.
It's been 2 weeks, I strated to use abaqus and user subrouitnes. To understand the how user subroutine work I thought to run some UMAT which I got it from http://imechanica.org/files/Writing%20User%20Subroutines%20with%20ABAQUS.pdf (page no- L6.73) to analysis a 3d steel plate with the material property which is given below.

Damage Mechanic Challenge
The purpose of the conference is to gather computational scientist and experimentalist to define and launch a numerical challenge to predict damage evolution and signatures of failure in brittle material. At the workshop, participants are invited to
(1) present their computational approach for numerical simulation of damage;
