YOU COULD WIN: The Look What I Did Challenge
As we approach the last few months of 2013, it’s interesting to
reflect upon what took place over the past ten months. Reminiscing can
be fun, but do you know what makes it even better? Sharing memories for
prizes!!! This month we are launching a new contest and here is how it
works…

using abaqus pore pressure cohesive element to model hydraulic fracture
hello:
I am using pore pressure cohesive elemnt to model hydraulic fracture with abaqus 6.13. Iwant to export the fracutre opening (or fracture aperture) of the injection point. The PFOPEN(pore pressure opening) or U(Displacement), which is the best to choose.
Waiting for your answer, thank you very much!!!!
Modeling programmable deformation of self-folding all-polymer structures with temperature-sensitive hydrogels
Combining
soft active hydrogels with hard passive polymers gives rise to all-polymer
composites. The hydrogel is sensitive to external stimuli while the passive
polymer is inert. Utilizing the different behaviors of two materials subject to
environmental variation, for example temperature, results in self-folding soft
machines. We report our efforts to model the programmable deformation of
self-folding structures with temperature-sensitive hydrogels. The self-folding
structures are realized either by constructing a bilayer structure or by
incorporating hydrogels as hinges. The methodology and the results may aid the
Application of phase-field method in Geoscience - Microstructure evolution
The recently published work shows the application of phase-field methods, which is more popular in the material science community, in the area of geophysics.
