Wavelengths of surface features

Submitted by r.nikhil on

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!

Learn Engineering on Anatomy in an Innovation Course

Submitted by Mimics on

At least 25 Innovation Courses will be organized all over the world by Materialise.
The Innovation Course is an accessible, 2-day, hands-on training in the Mimics Innovation Suite in which you start with medical image data, create accurate 3D models and learn to; e.g. do 3D measurements and analyses, prepare for FEA and design patient-specific implants.

Join us at a location of your choice to see how powerful, yet how easy it can be to preform engineering operations on anatomical data.

problem regarding critical initial time step in poroelastic material during consolidation process.

Submitted by Xiaogai Li on

Dear all,

I have a problem regarding critical initial time step in poroelastic material during consolidation process.

As we know, for implicit integration method, it's unconditionally stable. But for the consolidation of poroelastic material,

there is a critical time step t_critical derived by Vermeer and Verruijt (1981), this has also been inclued in the abaqus software (http://129.25.22.58:2180/v6.7/books/exa/default.htm).

Post-doctoral position in Mechanical Engineering at NUS

Submitted by Shailendra on

A post-doctoral position is immediately available in our research group in the area of micromechanics of materials focusing on failure. Candidates with experience in computational modeling (MD/ meso-mechanics/ continuum mechanics) of crystalline/ non-crystalline (including polymeric) materials are encouraged to apply. Initial appointment will be for one year and may be extended by another year depending on the funding situation and performance.

If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.
