Multiscale Material Modelling

Hi,

I have a couple of partially funded positions available, topics include

- A multiscale constitutive model for intragranular failure in metal during sheet metal forming

- Investigation of microstructure evolution during incremental sheet metal forming

Topics require apriori knowledge of constitutive modelling in FE framwork. Interested please contact me on muhammad.amir [at] strath.ac.uk

Thanks,

Amir

Need help in Creep modeling in ANSYS

Submitted by almasudme on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 20:54

ansys

creep

Can Anyone help me how to do creep modeling in ansys?

I need to follow the creep law __> effective creep strain (e at time t) = S. T. e^(-H)

S=(a0)^t.(sigma)^(a1) ; T = t^(a2)+(a3).t^(a4)+(a5)t^(a6) ; H = (a7)/[(theta)+273.16]

a0 to a7 are material constants.

I have the experimental data and tried to fit the curve in Ansys to obtain the material constants.

I tried to follow the ansys help file steps. But facing erros messages.

Nanocomposite Electrical Generators....

Submitted by Kmomeni on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 17:29

A nanocomposite electrical generator composed of an array of zinc oxide nanowires is considered.
The electric potential distribution along zinc oxide nanowires is modeled using continuum
mechanics and Maxwell’s equations for the case of axial loading. A perturbation technique is used
for decoupling the constitutive equations. The governing differential equations are solved using a
finite difference method. It is shown that a gradient of electric potential exists along the axis of the
zinc oxide nanowires. Maximum and minimum values of electric potential exist at the extreme ends
along the nanowire length and have opposite signs. The positive and negative voltages are separated
