 2) in situ dynamic TEM 

 Details and how to apply are included in the attached document. Please make sure to indicate which position you would like to be considered for in your cover letter.

HI,

 i am new in using ABAQUS. I am modelling tensile simulation. elastic and plastic part were ok (isotropic). but i dont know how to include damage model (damage for ductile materials). I need stress triaxilaity, equav plastic strain and strain rate..where i can obtain that?..hope somebody can help.  Material used is ALSi12
