Abaqus dynamic explicit
Hi all,
Would you please let me know if it's possible, how to identify the length of mesh, time period of step, factor scaling, ... of an Abaqus dynamic explicit problem.
Thanks in advance,

The 2nd Sandia Fracture Challenge is here!
update, 7/24/2014: The information packet ("SFC2-challenge-v5.ppt") is no longer attached to this post (iMechanica has a file size limit of 1 MB, so we can not attach the 6 MB file). IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE INFO PACKET, PLEASE E-MAIL ME, blboyce [at] sandia.gov and copy Dr. Sharlotte Kramer, slkrame [at] sandia.gov. If you have an older version of the information packet, please also e-mail for the newest (v5) info packet.
We intend to send the shear calibration data to all those whose e-mail address I have by August 1st (sorry for the delay!).
Source for Mooney-Rivlin coeffcients for silicon rubber
Hi everyone,
I am trying to simulate the behavior of a silicon rubber membrane which is being compressed due to the displacement od an additional part which is bonded to it. I want to model the membrane as a Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model. Can therefore anyone provide me with a source giving C10 and CO1 coefficients for silicon rubber?
Any help will be appreciated,

Hello, everyone!
Now, I'am trying to analysis a truncated cone composite shell subjefcted to compression load in Ansys. But I don't know how to set the element coordinate system. I want to set the circumferencial direction as fiber direction, and the thickness direction and generatrix direction as transverse direction. Can any one teach me how?
Thankful to any adivice?

Our operating parameters are:
Compressor suction pressure: 60 bar.
Compressor suction temperature: 40C.
Compressor discharge pressure: 80 bar.
Compressor discharge temperature: 60C.
Gas Cooler Set Point: 60C.
Compressor suction flow: 10.5 mmscmd.
NPT: 65%.
Please support "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" at Stack Exchange
Hello everyone,
I've proposed a new Stack Exchange site called "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" for people intersted in mechaics related issues. The current link is http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/67726/theoretical-and-applied-mechanics?referrer=73mdEQ3M_DdhwHImwznaBQ2
For the proposal to be accepted to go to the next stage the site will need the following:

Hencky's hyperelastic material model.
Hello,
I am working on my master's thesis. I have to find best fitting hyperelastic material model for simple shear test.
My task is to find most proper material model which will fit my laboratory test data. I have conducted the "single lap test" on bricks, using polymer PS.

Hi all,
I want to write a matlab based code that will be able to describe material behaviour under uniaxial loading. So what I am interested in is the plasticity of a material. I want the code to be able to represent material behaviour after yielding and also cyclic loading.
