Applying friction induced torque

Submitted by MehdiTU on

Hello,

I am modelling a beam inside a tubular constraint using beam elements in Abaqus explicit dynamic analysis.  I used connector elements for creating a radial clearance. The connector can apply axial friction, but I am wondering how to apply friction induced moment. It clearly depnedes on moving direction of the beam. Please let me know what you think about a strategy to model the moment.

Thanks.

Submitted by RAJAT KUMAR on

I hava a problem regarding to solve the analysis of plates with transverse  loading with help of ANSYS.

plz help me how can i proceed becoz it's results are not maching with theoritically as given analysis methods  in " theory of plates" by s. chandrashekhra.

Approaching CNT Reinforcing Up-limit by Hydrogen Passivation Induced Dispersion

Submitted by Xiaodong Li on

We have developed a technique, described in Advanced Materials , which combines hydrogen passivation with ultrasonication to successfully disperse multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in both absolute ethanol solution and epoxy resin, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in the application of nanotubes.

Finite Element Modelling of Soft Matter

Submitted by Chris Szalwinski on

I'm interested in developing finite element software for soft matter configurations.  Is there any open source FE software already developed for such materials?  My purpose is to research and develop algorithms that use GPU technology for modelling complex materials on a desktop
