Hi everyone,

 does anyone know publications dealing with the coupled thermo-structural analysis (direct method) of CFRP using ANSYS?

here is a simple question

I have modeled the reduced section of a  tensile test specimen in 3D (a simple cylinder; falt surface in x-y plane, length in z direction).  I applied a load on one flat surface of the cylinder, and put the opposite flat surface as a symmetry plane. 

When I plot the result after the simulation of a tensile test, the cylinder moved in the direction perpendicular to the application of the load.  I was expecting it only to increase in length in the z direction.

Is there any other boundary conditions I should have considered?

Hello

I am using ANSYS for structural ANALYSIS, I want to add PML or absorbing boundary condition in my simulation:

I have a look at help of ansys, there is absorbing boundary for Electermagnetic domain , Structural fluid ,...

I am not able to find the absorbing boundary condition only for structural domain .

Please can sb help me to know that I can add absorbing boundary condition for structural domain in ANSYS?

the second question:when I want to add complex value as an input how it will be possible in ANSYS,

i.e when I write like A+bi Ansys Consider i as 1 not squareroot(-1), please can you tell how I can do it.

thanks in adavnce

Hi Friends,

Iam looking for PhD positions in Composites Mechanics and Manufacturing area.

If you happen to know any information, kindly convey it to me.

Please find my Resume attached for your information.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear All,

I am a Masters student (M Tech) from IIT Delhi (2008 passout). My background is Mechanical Design.

I am looking to work in the areas of planetary sceince , related to the mechanics of heavenly bodies and or structural analysis of impacts of such bodies. I am open to work in FEM as well as vibrations as these are my core areas in Masters.

Development of interactive softwares which serve industrial recquirements is also a personal interest of mine.

I have good mathematical background and am well versed with C++ and MATLAB. My resume is attached here with this post.
