UMAT subroutine help for li-ion battery lithation process
Hi everyone,
I am trying to run simulation of lithiation in anode material used for li-ion battery. To encounter for plastcity; it needs UMAT subroutine.
Can anyone help meto make this subroutine (as I am not good in programming :()
..?
Thanks
VOLUME MESHING IN ABAQUS
Me,being a novice in abaqus,could anyone tell me how to do a volume meshing in abaqus???Also,how to link a centre node to surface nodes in order to apply boundary conditions to centre node???
Laminated composite smart stiffined plate
I am working on topic ' Finite Element Analysis of laminated composite smart stiffened plate'. I am not getting proper proper mathematical formulation for using in coding for MATLAB program.
Surface Pressure in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Model
Hi, All: I am working on a fluid structure interaction problem with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in Abaqus. My solid is a deformable structure. I would like to know the pressure on the surface of structure where solid and fluid (particles) contact with each other. I wonder how could I output this vailable from the SPH model in Abaqus. Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
3-D Microstructure Reconstruction of Polymer Nano-Composite using FIB-SEM and Statistical Correlation Function
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0266353813001012?np=y
Abstract
3-D
reconstruction of Halloysite nanotube (HNT) polypropylene composite has
been performed using two different methods. In the first method,
several slices of the composite material were obtained using focused ion
beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A representative
volume element (RVE) of the real material’s micro/nanostructures was
Traffic-induced vibrations of frame structures
A paper titled "Traffic-induced vibrations of frame structures" (Marija Nefovska Danilovic, Mira Petronijevic, Branko Šavija), related to Branko Šavija's diploma thesis work, has been published in the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering.
Abstract:
Durability of Reinforced concrete from Composition to Protection
The 6th International PhD Student Workshop on Durability of Reinforced
Concrete will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, during July 4 and 5,
2013, hosted by TUDelft. After a series of successful workshops, most
recently in Espoo (2012), Madrid (2010) and Guimarães (2009), IPSW2013
will be held under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities
Committee), aiming to bring together young researchers in the field of
durability of concrete.
This workshop, aimed at PhD students dealing with concrete durability (in a broad sense), is free of charge.
