Breakthrough Indentation Yield Strength Test

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 14, 2011 – Irvine, CA – Nanovea today introduced its patent pending breakthrough method of reliably acquiring yield strength through indentation; ultimately replacing the traditional tensile testing machine for yield strength measurement.

Modeling time dependent function in Abaqus/CAE

Hello,

 

I am very new to Abaqus so I apologize since I am probably using the incorrect terminology for this and asking a fairly simple question.

 

I would like to model a laser beam striking a part the part is rotating w.r.t. the beam and I would like to model this. I have already set up Cylindrical coordinate and I just want the beam to sweep the surface following the equation:

 

Theta = Omega * Time

where:

Theta:= Angular Position

Omega:= Angular Velocity

Time:= Time

Fractography Analysis Using 3D Profilometry

Fractography is the study of features examined on fracture surfaces and has historically been investigated via Microscope or SEM. Microscope being used for macro scale analysis and SEM particularly when it is the nano or microstructure that is vital to the analysis. Both ultimately allowing for the identification of the fracture mechanism type. Although effective, the Microscope clearly has its limitations and the SEM in most cases, other than atomic level analysis, is unpractical for fracture surface measurement and lacks broad use.

Nanoindentation Fracture Toughness

The ability of a material to resist cracking, or fracture, has been vital to the studies of fracture mechanics. Until recently the study of fracture toughness has been analyzed at a macro range using powerful instrumentation applied to large samples.

Nanoindentation Creep Measurement

Creep can be characterized as the result of a solid material that is slowly and permanently deformed under the influence of stress. Deformation results from the consistent stress below the yield strength of the material. The amount of applied stress and its duration can eventually lead to the failure of the given material. Ultimately, it is for this reason that Nanoindentation creep measurement provides crucial information to study material behavior.

Can some one suggest different ways of making spring of negetive spring constant??

Cyclical Nanoindentation Stress-Strain Measurement

The Stress-Strain curve obtained by Nanoindentation reveals the correlation of "Stress" and"Strain" of a given material under nano controlled loads. Unlike the traditional Tensile Testing method of obtaining Stress-Strain curve data, which gives data at a macro level, the Nanoindentation method provides vital Stress-Strain curve data at nano level scale without the large and intense machinery. The Stress-Strain curve of various materials will vary widely.

vibration test fixture design

Hello all,
 
I am a fresher; I just started working for a company leading in passenger cars.
I have been given a project in which I have to design a vibration test fixture for passenger car bumper.
Currently, we manufacture fixture in-house. And for every bumper, separate fixture is made.
My task is to design a test fixture (for testing frequency range of 0- 70 Hz) which will be modular.

Microindentation & Fracture of Mineral Rock

The use of Microindentation has proven to be a crucial tool for rock mechanics related studies. For example, Microindentation has been used to advance studies in excavation by allowing further understanding of rock mass properties and its separation. Microindentation has been used to advance drilling studies to improve drill heads and improve drilling procedures. Microindentation has also been used to study chalk and powder formation from minerals.

Paper Roughness Measurement With 3D Profilometry

Paper surface topography is vital to the intended use and quality of the product. To control paper product quality it will heavily rely upon quantifiable, reproducible and reliable surface measurement. Precise surface measurement and evaluation of a paper product can lead to the best selection of processing and control measures. The Nanovea 3D Non-Contact Profilometer utilize chromatic confocal technology with unmatched capability to measure paper surfaces.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to model a plate (shell elements) supported on rubber bearings and columns (beam elements) and I would like to know how to release rotational degrees of freedom at one or both ends of a beam element in Abaqus/Explicit.
Unfortunately, the keyword *RELEASE only works in Abaqus/Standard.
Thanks in advance for your kind help. Regards,

Literature regarding the appearence of cracks in steel. Thermal, pressure fatigue

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone could recomend som literature for me to get my hands on.
If there is any literature regarding how the appereance of a crack in a piece of thin metal (~0,5mm - 1 mm) could be related to pressure fatigue or thermal fatigue.
Does the crack due to thermal fatigue have a specific appereance and so on. I need get my hands on practical pictures and so on, not equations.
Are there any signs in the vicinity of the crack that is indicating that this could be due to pressure fatigue.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Material Testing Machines

Can anyone guide me how to get crosshead speed range equal to or greater than 1:3000 in a motorized electromechanical material testing machine? The load capacity should remain same even at lowest speed.

Soil Pile imteraction in ANSYS ASAS-NL

Hi,

In order to model a jacket supported by four piles I need to model the interaction between soil and piles in ANSYS ASAS-NL. As I want to make a trasient analysis I use ASAS-NL which unfortunately do not interact with SPLINTER. The jacket structure is modelled by 3D beam elements. Can someone tell me how I model the soil pile interaction? Is it possible to make use of P-Y and T-Z curves in ASAS-NL?

ANSYS CODE FOR FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION

Hi all,

     Currently, I am using ANSYS 12.1 for the fatigue crack propagation simulation for the edge crack & center crack plates. It is a mixed mode crack propagation.

 

Can anybody please tell me or guide me how to write the code in the ANSYS using APDL for automatic remeshing around the cracktip when crack propagates to the new position?

 Thanks in advance. :) 

Simple Open Source Solver

I found the below thread, and thought this would be a good place to ask about open source FEM.

forum/357

But unlike that thread, I want something that is very simple, that can be run with just a single .exe.  I only need to solve basic structural problems and perhaps eigenvalue problems.  Orthotropic material capability is needed, but input for a composite material via lamina and stacking sequence would be better.

buckling analysis for cylindrical ring

Dear Members Hello

 

I am conducting buckling analysis for cylindrical ring (Short and thick cylinder) with Lateral Pressure.

 

I reviewed the basic books ("Buckling of Bars, Plates, and Shells" and "Theory of Elastic Stability" – Timoshenko) and all I could find is buckling of rectangular planes in the axial direction or buckling of cylindrical shells which buckles in the radial direction.

Simulating Hole punching operation using MSC Marc

Does anyone who has previously worked on MSC Marc worked with the concept of element activation and deactivation...?

I need to do a simulation wherein a hole is required to be punched in an alloy steel bar.

The issue is that I am not sure as to how to go about this.

If there is anyone who can guide me through this ..I would appreciate it..!!

Regards,

Krunal.
