Topology optimization

Submitted by Nestor Rueda Vallejo on

Ask iMechanica

I'm asking the group about the current and future challenges in topology optimization either from the theoretical point of view as well as the industrial or practical point of view. I think Homogenization is the current de-facto method for practical optimization and I can detect some tendencies like level set methods, mesh less methods, etc at the research level.

What do you think about which is the "predominant" current wave and which will be next wave in topology optimization in the above two fields (theoretical and practical).

Hi All

I have just started my postgraduation in aerospace composites. I am new to FE of composites and required serious help in learning composite modelling. It will great if someone can help me in starting up. If you know any websites or books which have examples which I can go through to learn modelling of composites, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Hi friends i am new user and 1 year experienced guy in CAE field in  Pune, India.

    i wants some tips/notes in Linear Static Analysis & non Linear analysis.

 Tips/ Notes about softwares like MSc nastran, Abaqus will be useful for me. So plz tell me how can i obtain them.

What are the differences between "strain hardening" and "work hardening"?

I think the concepts from the constitutive theory, but in many papers the researchers seem that they dont differentiate them.  So could you give me an exact explanation about it?  Thank you.

How to resolve the element-size dependence problem of strain-softening materials?

Submitted by Zhennan Zhang on

In the finite element simulaiton of material failure, the simulaiton results are critically dependent on the element size if the mateiral is described by a softening constitutive relationship. How to resolve this problem? What is the underlying principle of this phenomenon? Thanks!
