Nonlinear free and forced vibration analysis of a single-walled carbon nanotube using shell model
By :Payam SOLTANI, J SABERIAN, R BAHRAMIAN, A FARSHIDIANFAR
In this Paper, the nonlinear free and force vibration of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is
investigated based on von Karman’s geometric nonlinearity. The SWCNT described as an individual shell and the Donnell’s
equations of cylindrical shells are used to obtain the governing equations. The Galerkin's procedure is used to discretized partial
Image Based Modeling for Biomedical Implant Design
We'd like to share a recent publication based on our software, which converts 3D volumetric image data into computational models; this article, published in partnership with MSC Technology, highlights how we've been able to produce successful FE models for biomedical implant design.
We have more case studies and information available on our website - www.simpleware.com - where you can also download a free 30 day trial of our software.

Fracture in rock using ABAQUS
Hi,
Im doing my research in crack initiation and propagation in rock and i have adopted ABAQUS to do this problem. But i cannot find any tutorial for crack growth in rock. As per some random literature i started using XFEM model to model the crack growth. But i still didnt feel confident about my work. Can anyone suggest me some material and im beginner to ABAQUS tool
Behaviourof non linear material under a load
I am currently working on developing a model of flexible pavement. The middle layer is having a non linear elasticity property. So the elastcity of the different parts of the layer varies with the stress applied. The process continues till the Elasticty stabilises. Can anyon please help me with its implementation in ANSYS APDL?
