Stress intensity factor from Abaqus

Submitted by MathuPhD on
 
How we can calculate K1 value from J - integral result from abaqus?. 
K1 value directly from abaqus is reliable? Because its crack initiation criterion is Max tangential stress, Max energy release rate and KII= 0. Which criterion will give correct results? Its depends on problem we handle. Thats I know. But if no value is available for crack initiation criterion ( Also, I introduce crack initially. So its invalid as crack initiation criterion - As of my understanding)
 

Postdoc opening in 3D printing of soft biomaterials at UVA

Submitted by liheng.cai on

The Cai Soft Biomatter Laboratory (http://softbiomatter.org/) at the University of Virginia is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Researcher position in 3D printing of soft biomaterials. The project consists of two core areas: (1) materials innovation and (2) technology development. The successful candidate will develop new soft materials as inks for 3D printing, and use customized 3D printing technologies to transform the materials to adaptive structures for photonic and biomedical applications.

Photomechanical coupling in photoactive nematic elastomers

Submitted by Ruobing Bai on

Dear Colleagues,

Our paper on theory of photomechanical elastomers has been published in JMPS. We explored the interplay between mechanical stress, light-induced reaction, and large deformation in photoactive nematic elastomers. You can find 50 days' free access here: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1bceu57Zjx1Q7
