dynamic stiffness definition in abaqus

Submitted by TaoLI on

I am working on the vibratory simulation of engin cooling system. Now i want to add the component of rubber isolators , the idea is to add the spring element ,we have tested the dynamic stiffness during ranges of 5-100HZ , but how can i put the values in abaqus ou inp files.

Thanks for your helps

Announcing the Launch of the Eshelby-UH Mechanics Award for Young Faculty

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the "Eshelby-UH Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award will be given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

Hi.



I want to model cylindrical shell that it's thickness varies from top to bottom with this function







 h=h0(1-ε cos(θ)) or each arbitrary function that is vary from top to bottom.How can I do this? 



 Please help me!!! that for my pleasure to be guided with your comments.

hi

i wana to investigate effect of crack in lamb wave propagation in composite plate in abaqus software. to this end, i have modeled a composite plate using 3Dshell defomable planar part. Also, i modeled crack using seam tool. i have problem in defining contact between two edges of crack to transmit wave through it. can anybody help me please?
