I want to do modal analysis of a simple structure under the effect of residual stress. How can I do it in Abaqus ?? I need the precise steps to do with the GUI.
I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).
Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)
Can you define FEM in one line?
If yes, what would it be? And, in that case, permit me a second question: How?
...Really interested in knowing what the members of this community think (of this matter), if they do...

I would like to conduct simulations in Abaqus using a St.
Venant-Kirchhoff constitutive law, but when I try to define a material
in Abaqus CAE I do not see it as an option.
Is this available as a
built-in model?
Is this just another material model with a parameter set to a specific value? (Hyperelasticity isn't my strongest area.)

I am working on the surface features of steel . I understand that surface features are broken down into various wavelengths and represented as Wa to We (0.1mm to 30mm wavelengths). Could some guide me to a reference which shows how to go about this process from the raw surface profile data ? Possibly, it involves Fourier Transforms, but I need a basic reference which shows how it is done .
Thanks!
