How to perform sequential thermo mechanical analysis using FEAP

Submitted by Vivian.Tini on

Dear members,

I am a newbie in FEAP and I would like to perform transient heat transfer analysis followed by a series of static analysis using FEAP.  Where does FEAP save the temperature history from the transient analysis and how to use this as input for the static analysis? I am using user constitutive model and most of the material parameters are temperature dependent. Which file do I need to include?

Best regads,

Vivian Tini

Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation (SSDIC)

Submitted by Francois Barthelat on

Following our recent article on this new method, we are making our Matlab routines available. The package contains standard DIC, SSDIC, plus a few extras. More info here

“Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation” (SSDIC) is based on DIC, but in addition SSDIC can capture displacement discontinuities near shear bands or cracks, where standard DIC fails.
