hallo all
i am new to abaqus and i have a problem
i am designing a pool with water in it.
and i dont know how to define the water as a material in abaqus
so that they will act like water on a dynamic analysys that i plan to do in the future
please help
i spent a days triyng to model the water
Mechanical Properties of Silicon Nanowires
In this paper that was published a few months ago, we reported the size effects on the elastic modulus and fracture strength of silicon nanowires. In addition, we observed that the silicon nanowires are linear elastic until fracture with a very large fracture strain up to 12%.

Abstract:
Fracture toughness of wood in mode II
Hi everybody,
I have done some experiments on the fracture toughness in mode II of wood specimens using attached geometry;so using
formula KIIc= 5.11P(3.1415*a)^0.5 /(2BW) I was able to calculate the frcature toughness of wood, but I am quite suprised
why this equation does not iclude depth of the specimens and moreover, I think that I have obtained higher values for the
fracture toughnes values. Is there any other formulation for obtaining the fracture toughness in mode II for this specimen?
P.s. dimension of my specimens is 100*100*63mm
Estimating Terminal Velocity of Rough Cracks
In this paper we first obtain the order of stress singularity for a dynamically propagating self-affine fractal crack. We then show that there is always an upper bound to roughness, i.e. a propagating fractal crack reaches a terminal roughness. We then study the phenomenon of reaching a terminal velocity. Assuming that propagation of a fractal crack is discrete, we predict its terminal velocity using an asymptotic energy balance argument. In particular, we show that the limiting crack speed is a material-dependent fraction of the corresponding Rayleigh wave speed.
