On proposals
Every year I try to get funding for things that I'm personally interested in but which may not have any immediate economic benefits. A couple of years ago, after reading Penrose's "Road to Reality", I thought about applying Clifford algebra ideas to fracture mechanics and wrote up a proposal to that effect. The proposal wasn't funded, but I think the idea is worth exploring.
The summary of the proposal was
From the literature
Naturally negative bulk modulus material.
Negative Linear Compressibility and Massive Anisotropic Thermal Expansion in Methanol Monohydrate
material parameters calibration for crystal plasticity
Hi
I am doing the crystal plasticity analysis of tensile test, at the first step in order to calibrate my model
I can use either force-displacemnt or stress-strain curve I was wondering which one is better to use, I am using abaqus-explicit
Fatigue
Hi,
I d like to ask you how could fatigue loading be modelled in cae. I know that you can set up the load as a sin function with min and max values. But where do you set-up the total nr of cycles? Is at the step part and where exactly?
And another question could anyone provide me with details of the input file for the hysteresis loop, where the stess nd strain resistance of the material drops after certain cycles..

Extrude a solid section
Hi all,
I am having some troubles with the extrude command in Abaqus cae. I have modeled my sample as a 2-D geometry and now I want to move to 3-D for the same section. But I am having trouble extruding my 2-D section. It seems to me very weird and far to complicated the extrusion process in abaqus for such a simple task...
Thank you,
Panos
welding simulation
hi cam any one tell me how to do welding simulation in ansys with element birth concept and also share code in ansys if posible
