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.

Learning Continuum Mechanics

Submitted by kajalschopra on

I would like to make a career in Finite Element MEthod with concentration on topics like XFEM,Mesh-free methods--

However, I am yet to mmake a start.To give you my background I ahve a good knowledge of subject of Strength of Materials,Linear Finite Element Analyis-including coding structrial analysis involving beam elements,plate elements,plane stress and plane strain elements-all linear FE.

I have good programming skills-C,VB,MathCAD and know basis of C++ well

I havee just undergone a course on Linear Algebra through the MIT opencourseware.

Does anyone use FEAP here?

Submitted by yofee on

Hi everyone,



Does anyone using feap software?

Currently I'm attempting to compiling FEAP at Visual Studio.  After I successfully building of both library and executable,



It shows "========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========".  I considered this as a successful compilation.

However when I run in command prompt: feap -itherm_2d  (It's the 5th example input file in FEAP software),  the errors pops up as :

Hi,

Can anybody throw some light on the wear coupling characteristics between SS347 and 17-4 PH, as well as between Phosphor Bronze and 17-4 PH Steel?

It will be helpful if you could refer to some literature where I can learn about Wear Coupling Characteristics...

Thank You,

Navanee

Volume integration in mehsless methods

Submitted by Mike W. Long on

I use the meshless Galerkin method for 3D simulation of plate movement. This method requires the volume integration over a test domain. Could somebody help me with the volume integration? I wonder if there are standard or open source algorithms that can be used for this problem.

I would appriciate any help.
