analytical solution of the elasto-acoustic mode of vibration
Submitted by lamia009 on Sun, 2009-06-28 08:53.Hi,
I am working on a coupled fluid structure problem , precisley on the elasto-acoustic mode, of a system consist on a cube which define the fluid domain coupled with an elastic plate.
The boundry conditions is:
- all the face of the cube is regid only the face coupled with the plate
Ansys problem
Submitted by Likhin on Mon, 2009-06-22 11:07.Hi everyone,
I'm working on the strength of FRP wrapped concrete beams. I'm using Ansys to analyse this. Can somebody explain me how to handle the nonlinearity of concrete and how to analyse the adhesive between the FRP sheet and concrete beam in ansys?

What is Lumped Mass in Dynamic Analysis,its Significance?Can anyone suggest its definition please.How do we create it in LS-Dyna.
Weak form
Submitted by surajitdas on Thu, 2009-06-04 05:25.During the study of FEM, I found the term "weak form" of differential equation, which is the integral form of a differential equation along with the boundary conditions for a boundary value problem. Now my question is that why the term "weak" has been used.

2 Questions about VUHARD and VUMAT
Submitted by stanleysjtu on Mon, 2009-05-25 20:46.I am trying to implement an analytic formulae of dynamic flow stress in material plasticity in abaqus. The model is similar to FlowStress=K*(PlasticStrain^n)*(StrainRate^m).
Could you provide help for these 2 questions?
1: Is it OK to define Young's modulus (E) and v in "Elastic" and choose "User" in "Plastic-->Hardening" with the subroutine "VUHARD", instead of by "VUMAT" with plasticity criterion and calculation of delta stress and strain?

cracked rotor
Submitted by pushpendra sing... on Mon, 2009-05-25 12:43.sir
can i find natural frequencies of cracked rotating shaft in ansys.i am using contact elements to model crack due to which nonlinearity comes into picture.since modal and harmonic analysis cannot solve nonlinear problems,so please tell me in detail the steps to find natural frequency .
my project submission date is on 15th june and i have no results.pls reply as soon as possible
it will be yr great help.
thanks in advance

A course on Advanced Elasticity, with emphasis on thermodynamics and soft active materials
Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sun, 2009-05-24 12:44.In the field of Solid Mechanics, Harvard has a sequence of 5 graduate courses:
- ES 240 Solid Mechanics
- ES 241 Advanced Elasticity
- ES 242r Solid Mechanics: Advanced Seminar
- ES 246 Plasticity
- ES 247 Fracture Mechanics
The first course goes over linear elasticity, finite element method, vibration, waves, viscoelasticity, as well as some ideas of finite deformation.

i m facing some problem while trying to mesh a horse shoe type structure, when i define the element type as solid 8 node 70 (brick8 node 70) it gives me error saying cannot apply coz it violaets the ASME code or some hting like that....plz help me out wiht what element type has to be defined for the HORSE SHOE type structure...............or whether to define the semi-circular portion seperately (with wat typr ) and the bottom portion seprate.

Strain Based Fracture Mechanics
Submitted by Sean Angus on Wed, 2009-05-13 10:52.Hi!
I`m new to this webpage, and hope for some good answers for use in my masters degree within fatigue. Currently I`m working on calculating the total life of a gusset specimen using strain based fracture mecahnics. I`ve read som articles on the topic, but have some difficulties on understanding the calculations itself. I`m using Excel in the calculations. If anyone has an excel-sheet, or other ways of helping me, I would hihgly appreciate it.
Thanks, Sean Angus

Mathematics for Mechanics
Submitted by Siddharth Avachat on Tue, 2009-05-12 13:50.Dear All,
I am just starting out on my research in fracture mechanics.
Coming straight to the point,
My background is in Engineering and hence, when there things that need
to be resolved Mathematically , I often get confused in the maze of
equations. After some looking around, I realize that I simply did not
know about this theorem or that axiom.I know from my interactions with other students, that I am not alone in this situation.
Can anyone tell me:
1. What are the absolutely necessary mathematical skills for a career in mechanics
2. How does one go about inculcating them? Which book or whose notes?
Thanks for your time,
Siddharth

Flow Rate through a gas pipe
Submitted by BobbyBob on Mon, 2009-05-11 21:22.Hi I'm trying to work out the following problem
The pressure at the start of a 180Km stainless steel natural gas pipeline is 4MPa and at the end is 2MPa. If the diameter of the pipe is 0.4m, what will be the gas flow rate through the system? (ignore losses other than friction)
(for natural gas, density = 40 Kg/m3, viscosity = 11x10-6)
This is from an exam paper and at the end of the paper there's a moody diagram with roughness values, the closest to stainless steel is commercial steel and has a k value of 0.045 mm.
I'm not sure how to handle this problem so I used the following formula
Q = ( (PI d4)/(128μL) ) * (P1 - P2)

I want to choose a book on Tensor Analysis
Submitted by xiashengxu on Sun, 2009-05-10 05:10.Tensor analysis is a very useful tool for continuum mechanics as well as other courses. I wonder which book is best for me.
I have background of anvanced mathematics, linear algebra. The book should be comprehensible.
