Submitted by Lifeng Wang on
The 1st International Conference on Mechanics of Composites will be hosted by Stony Brook University, Long Island, New York, USA. This conference intends to bring forward the best research and applications on composite materials and structures. The conference has the support of Composite Structures, an International Journal of Elsevier.

The Conference will take place from 8-12 June 2014. 

Quantitative/Qualitative Measurement of local strain analysng the microstructure

Submitted by Bharadwaj on

I've performed a fatigue experiment on aluminium.I want to observe the microstructure and make a qualitative/ quantitative analysis of strains based on observation the grains.Is there any technique that would help me achieve the objective?Could someone help me on this?

Random strength (weibull distribution) input at each integration point in Abaqus

Submitted by prathyush963 on

Hello,

 I am trying to input random strength (following weibull distribution) at each integration point. I want to use either USDFLD (preferably) or UMAT subroutines in Abaqus. Please help me in this regards. Any references/suggestions will be great.

  

ANSYS , LS-DYNA: simulation of full penetration impact

Submitted by yousof.mohandes on
Is
there any one here who could help me through the step-by-step creating and analyzing
a 3D simulation of ballistic, full penetration impact of a steel, rigid
projectile into the 3D composite plate?



note1: as i know,
available HASHIN damage model in ABAQUS isn't an appropriate tool to do
that. because it has an important restriction that confined you in the
"2D" damage analysis of composites and using 2D planar elements only.



note2: so, my preferred software is LS-DYNA or ANSYS-APDL now.
