Dear all,
I did a three point bending test on a brittle rod. I observed an oblique fracture (slant approx 45 degrees). It can be an easy conclusion that this 45 deg crack is due to shear failure. But i have the following questions
1. Can a shear band occur in bending mode? as in literature very frequently shear bands are reported in pure tension and compression.
Hi all,
[Warning: The writing is long, as is usually the case with my posts :)]
It all began with a paper that I proposed for an upcoming conference in India. The extended abstract got accepted, of course, but my work is still in progress, and today I am not sure if I can meet the deadline. So, I may perhaps withdraw it, and then submit a longer version of it to a journal, later.
Dear All,
I modelled a beam with a hole and used cohesive elements on the possible crack plane.
When I run the model in 2D, it works very well and I can get the results pretty good.
Why running the same model in 3D (making 3D model and running it) has caused me a headach for a long time and I can not
get the results?
Any idea highly appreciated,
Thanks,
Parisa
i am simulating a uniaxial test for coal specimen using Mohr-Coloumb plasticity, there is a friction between the coal sample and the platens, the coal behavior is stain sotening.
i want to know how many points should i use in the hardening table of the mohr-coloumb plasticiy to get a good reults?
i used 3 points:- the first one is the yield stress and the associated plastic stain, the second one the peak stress and the associated plastic strain the third one is the post peak stress and the assoiacted plastic strain. is that right?

A Research and Development Scientist position in developing multiscale-multiphysics computational technologies for composite materials and structures is available immediately at the Multiscale Design Systems, LLC located in New York City. The candidate should hold a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline, such as Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering. The candidate should have a strong background in multiscale simulations and scientific programming (C, C++, or Fortran).
We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of computational mechanics. Specific problems of interest include the nonlocal plasticity, molecular dynamics and meshless methods for continuum damage mechanics. Rich experience of C++, X-windows image processing, and Fortran programming (especially parallel processing) is required. Contact: Professor Jung W. Hong at Michigan State University.
