Hello Sir, I am doing research on the journal "A continuum damage mechanics model for void growth and micro crack initiation". In that i am modellling the cylinder with preneck. i have applied tensile load and found the induced stress. Now, I want to find out the damage and i need to plot the damage vs plastic strain graph and I dont know how to do it abaqus or ansys. Can u please guide me or let me know how to find out the damage and plastic strain and also suggest me the weblinks if there are any which tells about the evaluation of the damage?

Nice place.

wire bonding

The Micromechanics Lab at the School of Engineering in Monash University Sunway Campus (Malaysia) is
seeking candidates to fill a research assistantship post who are
interested to continue the project as a Master or PhD project. The research
assistant will work on a project that requires carrying out experiments and computer
simulation using state-of-the-art equipments, namely the Bruker SAXS/WAXS
machine (available at MIMOS Sdn Bhd), micro-tensile test rig and multi-physics
Finite Element software to investigate basic properties that are responsible
for ensuring the mechanical and electrical reliability of the sub-micron
wire-bond in semiconductor devices such as RAM. The work will be conducted in

hi everyone,

i am modelling aluminium laminated cfrp using hashine damage criteria for cfrp in abaqus 6.10.after submitting the job for analysis error encouterdis showing a no. of elements can not be used for HASHIN DAMAGE INITIATION CRITERIA.

If a buddies have any clue please help me.

conference

Dear Colleague:

The SEM XII International Congress and Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics will be held at the Hilton Orange County, Costa Mesa, CA, USA on June 11-14, 2012.

I would like to invite you to submit a paper to the session entitled "Viscoelastoplasticity and Damage" sponsored by Time Dependent Materials and Composite Materials Divisions. I am soliciting papers involving time (rate)-dependent constitutive and fracture/failure behavior of materials.

Shot Peened Surface Characterization Using 3D Profilometry

Submitted by NANOVEA on Wed, 10/12/2011 - 18:29

Shot peening is a process by which a substrate is impacted with round metal, glass or ceramic beads, also known as shot, at a force intended to create plasticity on the surface. The characteristics present prior to and after the peening process provides vital information to better the understanding and control of the process. Among many others, surface roughness and dimple coverage area left by the shot, are of particular interest using a profilometer.
