Dear all,
I am working in my under-graduate thesis. Basically, i'm trying to calculate the SIF and J-Integral for semi-elliptical surface crack using CINT command in ANSYS APDL (all of this in a pipeline model). I have seen one paper shows SIF's distribution along the crack front like the following picture (fig. 8):
In my analysis I have obtained the following distribution (I have used a/c=0.5 with a/tc and tc/Rc equal to the fig. 8):
Three newly identified cross-slip mechanisms from atomistic simulations of fcc crystals, namely surface, bulk and intersection cross-slip types, were hierarchically informed into discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. The influence of each cross-slip type on the evolution of the dislocation microstructure in face-centered cubic microcrystals having different crystal sizes and initial dislocation densities was investigated.
The solid mechanics program at Brown has two openings for postdoctoral research associates in the areas of computational modeling of battery electrode materials, and computational design of advanced high-strength steels. One position is available immediately; the other towards the end of August. Both projects will have opportunities to work closely with experimental and industrial collaborators.
Dear imechanica friends,
I am using userelem in Ansys. When I model a curved shaped structure like a shell, and mesh it in the context of the element ET300, I get error below:
‘unable to mesh area 3 because of shape problems. It may help to change element size on edges of area’
When I use a trick to call ET181 and then mesh, and then change the element type to ET300, the following error is appeared!
‘Negative element Jacobian value 0 at element 10. This is due to wrong element order or bad mesh’
Position starting at the beginning of 2015, in LIMATB (France) - http://www-limatb.univ-ubs.fr - on the subject: Modeling plastic instabilities (PLC type) developing under various strain paths
Hello
I'm simulating weld process in abaqus, in which the welding path is circular.For modeling the process I use model change (Deactive and activation of the element).For this I need to locate the element by location in my script. Is there any command that can do this?
Thanks
Can anybody help me in using smeared crack and cohesive zone modeling in concrete for different grades. I was actually facing problem in using the same to identify fracture parameters of concrete using ABAQUS. I will also be helpful if anyone let me know about an alternate method to find fracture parameters of concrete using ABAQUS apart from using models. Thanks in advance.......
Dear Friends,
Let me assure you that we (the editorial team) are just as anxious as you are to see what kind of papers are published by EML, with similar anticipation as one looks at a new born baby for the first time. Does the baby girl have big eyes like her mother? Or does the baby boy have little hair on his head like his father? Or the baby is just different, different from all other children, and beautifully so.
Peace be upon you everybody;
We report a novel optical microscope for full-field, noncontact measurements of three-dimensional (3D) surface deformation and topography at the microscale. The microscope system is based on a seamless integration of the diffraction-assisted image correlation (DAIC) method with fluorescent microscopy. We experimentally demonstrate the microscope’s capability for 3D measurements with submicrometer spatial resolution and subpixel measurement accuracy.
