Journal Club Theme of November 2014: Catalyzed Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires - Multiscale Models
Introduction
Happy Halloween!
In this issue of the Journal Club, I would like to introduce the problem of catalyzed growth of semiconductor nanowires and ways to model it. I would provide web links to only a few articles, hoping that you would download and actually read them so that we can have a more in-depth discussion.
Composite orthogonal cutting - contact problem
Forums
Hello to everybody,
I am trying to simulate the orthogonal cutting of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite using Abaqus v6.13 software. In my 2D model, Fiber and Matrix are represented as different phases. Damage models for fiber and matrix are implemented.
I have tried to use two different approaches:
Are the viscous hydrodynamic forces and the nonlinear viscous hydrodynamic forces applied on offshore platform in the ocean？
