How can I find material properties of metallic glasses?
I am now going to model a sample with metallic glass (Cu-Zr-Ti) under stress and temperature loads. I wonder whether there is some existing database to find material properties, in particular, the creep properties with respect to temperature and stresses. Then I can use these data as input for a FE analysis.
Thank you very much!
how to simulate fibre direction?
Hi all
I am modeling a complex muscle with fibre reinforced. The fibre direction is not constant in this muscle. It is changing with the integration point in the model. Is there anyone who got idea on how to simulate the variable fibre directions in Abaqus? Can user subroutine ORIENT do this?
Many thanks,

I would like to know what is the role of data sampling, data capture rate and bandwidth in case of electromechanical static tensile test. What are their optimum values for a static tensile test of metals according to ASTM standards.
We are deciding to buy Instron 5567 series for 50kN. But we are unable to decide whether that high data acquisition rate, bandwidth is required. Please suggest.
interfacing between matlab and ansys
i have an optimization program for structural problem in Matlab software. i found design variables from Matlab. i want to interface this program in to ansys softare to find optimum stress and strain. how can i interface matlab program in to ansys. if any sample tutorilas please send me.

Xu and Needleman: Potential function in 3-D
Dear all,
I am improving the cohesive zone model in 2-D proposed by Y.F. Gao to simulate delamination between sub-micron thick films in 3-D. However, I did not find the potential function proposed by Xu and Needleman in 3-D. If you know it please tell me
Here is the potential function proposed by of Xu and Needleman in 2-D (in Y.F Gao’s paper)
