Hi All,
Most exisiting failure critera delevolped for fiber composite laminates and they are rough estimations for fabric composite. I want to know if there is a suitable failure criterion for fabric composites.
Thanks
Azadeh

Hi ,
I have to do a thermo mechanical simulation of rolls (which is used for hot rolling process). I did plain starin cold rolling problem using 2-d analytical rigid surface. But I am quite confused to do the same for hot rolling process. Since during hot rolling thermal load also comes into play. Now how to solve this thermo mechanical coupled problem is an utmost question to me. I have tried to understand the heat transfer problem from given examples of friction brake disk. But it was not cleared.
Professor Wing Kam Liu's group at Northwestern University is looking for a postdoc or a research associate who is good at multiscale methods development, nonlinear finite elements, and has good knowledge of plasticity with some knowledge of high performance computing.

I am preparing my PHD in the National Technical Univercity of Athens (Faculty of Applied Sciences ,Department of Mechanics). We have recently bought an instron fatigue model 1276 (static capacity 2000 kNt ,dynamic capacity 1000 KNt) from the Greek Army. The machine is in bad condition and it needs service. Unfortunately , the manuals of the machine are missing.The machine is quite old and it is very difficult to find the mannuals from the manufacturer . Does anybody has the manuals or knows where i can find them?
Dear all,
I have modeled a cyclic ball indentation problem in
Abaqus. The sphere has been modeled as axisymmetric rigid surface while
the plate is axisymmetric deformable. The material data fed in for the
plate has been obtained from low cycle fatigue experiments and the
combined hardening model using half-cycle has beem employed.
Apart from this, the loading is displacement-controlled and sphere
is the master surface while the plate is slave surface. The other
