Experiments in anti-plane deformation of thin films
Dear all,
I was curious whether there are any
experimental information and / or results regarding the out of plane (anti-plane)
deformation of (very) thin films. For example an elastic thin film subjected to anti-plane loading on its surface. Any other suggestions regarding possible applications of anti-plane loading conditions in thin films would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Thanasis
Scalar done wrong
Update on 9 April 2016. At the bottom of this post, I attach a pdf file of my notes on scalar.
Notes on scalars now forms part of my notes on linear algebra.

fiber reinforced concrete modeling
hi everybody.
i want to simulate and modelling fiber reinforced concrete in abaqus. but i don't know and i can't how to do it.
how can i simulate the fibers in concret?
please help me in this case.
thanks
RA position available in Piezoelectric sensors
A RA (MS level) position is available in the Department of Engineering Technology, University of North Texas-Denton in the fields of piezoelectric sensor modeling and experiment. The position will start from Summer, 2014. Candidates should have a Bachelor/Master's degree in engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering with good academic standing and should have some experiences in the following:
Large deflection of a cantilever
Hi
I am working on large deflection analysis of a cantilever by finite element total lagrangian approach. the results for six element are reasonable but when I increase elemenets to nine solution is diverged. i.e. tangent stiffness matrix becomes singular. can anaone help me on this problem.
thanks in advance.
DCB test - CONTINUUM SHELL ELEMENTS vs SOLID ELEMENTS
Hello,
I modelled a 3-D DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) test specimen to simulate crack propagation (delamination) in composite materials.
To do so, I used surface cohesive properties between plates in Abaqus/Explicit, and applied a displacement at the plates tips.
When I used continuum shell elements the crack propagated as expected and the delamination occurred.
Solid Mechanics mini project
Guys , we've been given a mini project of solid mechanics to make any simple model which shows movement . We're getting short of time so please ....
I'm looking for some ideas of how and what to make .
