Are Finite Element Softwares Reliable ?
Hello,
Some Finite Element Softwares use the Formulation of an Element and Jump to another one
by Merging Nodes : Quadrilateral to Triangular and Hexahedral to Tetrahedral without modifying
the Shape Functions.
This Method is Mathematically and Numericaly Forbidden because they use the Same Shape Functions
when Merging the Nodes for the Defined First Element (see Element Definition and after Mesh Process).
piezoelectric composite plate analysis using ansys
which element should i consider for the piezoelectric composite plate analysis in ansys. the lay up consists of top and bottom piezo layers and middle graphite epoxy? i want to apply sinusoidal voltage on top piezo layer and i need noidal deflections, please help in doing
Combination of FMEA or HAZOP or Job Safety Analysis and Fault Tree Analysis
Can anyone share how the output of any one of hazard identification techniques such as HAZOP/ JHA/ FMEA in be used as input of Fault Tree Analysis?

Gurson's PhD thesis report
Greetings,
As I was struggling for several months to find Gurson's PhD thesis report and as I received many emails from people who were also not finding this reference and asking for help, let me share a scan of the thesis report that I managed to get thanks to a kind and helpfull professor.

Abaqus on Windows 8
hi,
I'm a newbie in Abaqus, but I think I have a great passion to explore this software a bit deeper. One problem is coming when I try to install Abaqus 6.11-2 on Windows 8 64bit operating system. It stuck on the pre-installation system check, and when I click on Next, the installation has topped. Has anyone got the same problem like these? Need a little help to solve this problem. Thank you
