Frequency analysis with Contact constraint

Submitted by sidd04mech on Tue, 09/11/2012 - 13:11

Hi,

I am trying to analysis a model in ABAQUS with a plate bolted to the Bracket top surface at 4 ends. I have to define contact between them (and also bolted at 4 ends) to get the Modal frequency. But When I searched for it, I got the answer that contact doesn't work with Modal analysis as contact is a nonliner problem and Modal Analysis only solves linear problem.

HYBRID COMPOSITES

hello everyone..i am a beginner in this field so ultimately seek help in order to escalate in my research.Currently i am working on hybrid composites using graphite filled FRPCs so kindly encourage me and help me make up my mind for better understanding in order to have an effective research.I am concentrating on tribological properties and if there is anything i can possibly implement to make it more profound please guide me so.I am working on my theoratical thesis right now.

User subroutines in ABAQUS

Hello every one....

I am new in abaqus/cae, abaqus/explicit. I have googled but not able to get any tutorial or example for metal cutting with chip formation. just few youtube animation videos are available on 3D orthogonal cutting, milling. But now such video or doc is available.

So, if any one having any kind of tutorial, example, or short notes.. please please share with me or mail me on my ID badwl24 [at] yahoo.com.

Is Thermoelectric Conversion Efficiency of a Composite Bounded by its Constituents?

thermoelectric composite

We analyze the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric composites, and conclude that thermoelectric figure of merit ZT as we know it is ill-defined for composites, and is irrelevant for their conversion efficiency. In addition, we prove that thermoelectric conversion efficiency of a composite is not bounded by its constituents, and can be higher than all its constituents in the absence of size and interface effects, in contrast to previous claim.
