Internship Announcement  

Title : FEA of Elastomers

Category: Internship in Industry

Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation

Location: Sugar Land, TX, USA

Starting Date: 01/01/2009

I am working on pipeline crack detection simualtion using Ansys. since wave propagation is a transient analysis and I have never used Ansys for this kind of simulation. Help me out if you know any source where I can take it as a reference and start my simulation.

Thanks

Do anybody know any things or have any experience about implementation of damage mechanics formulation for concrete in UMAT?

Deadline for Abstract submission: November 3. See www.mrs.org/spring2009.  A symposium entitled "Structure-Property Relationships in Biomineralized and Biomimetic Composites " will be organized at the MRS-spring meeting in San Francisco next year (April 13-17, 2009).

Hi all

 I have done 3D modeling in Pro E. When i am trying to import it in ANSYS its taking alot of time. almost 1 hour has passed and modle is still not imported in ANSYS. I have converted my modle in IGES format.

Is there any way to import the modle easily from Pro E to ANSYS???

This is supposed to be a very classic analytical solution in applied elasticity. Forgive me if this is a repost or some correction has been made before. I had a hard time with it.

Problem statement:  uniform pressure is applied on cirular area (radius=r) on top of a semi-infinite plane. Find the vertical deflection.

We got discrepancy between FEA solution and analytical solution which I found from different textbooks (famous and non-famous): Deflection within the circle is good, however, no good outside the circle.

I am modelling melting by element death.  I have a cold (melting) rectangle with a hot fluid convecting at the exterior.  I am using a do loop so that time increases at each loop.  I define a "melting" temperature, so that elements are killed off when they achieve a specified temperature.
