Dear fellow Mechanicians,We have done this research on couple stress theory which we believe has resolved the problem of indeterminacy in the spherical part of the couple-stress tensor and the appearance of the body couple in the constitutive relation for the force-stress tensor  (Mindlin and Tiersten, 1962).I humbly request you to read the paper and give me your feedback. I believe you would agree this is an important issue in Continuum Mechanics which can open up new frontiers.Sincerely,

Hi all,

I would like to model the transformation of austenite to bainite and martensite in the simulation software DEFORM 3D.

I am not so much confident with the core metallurgical concepts. I would like to know, if some one has experience in creating a material  model using mixture method in DEFORM 3D.

Would like to hear from you.

With Best Regards

Hi,

I would like to write a simple subroutine to solve diffusion equation d(ro)/dt = k∇²(ro). using finite element method.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Does anyone have an Ansys tutorial for reinforced concrete with FRP? I have to model a beam for my thesis and I am new to Ansys. If you could send it to me at the below email address I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi

I have to do the experimental test to study the diaphragm action in lighweight slab. it will be grateful if i find some guideline or some advise about that.

Dear All

I am working on large deformation finite element analysis for my research work. To consider the self-weight I need to calculate the distributed (consistent) mass matrix. So my question that how calculate time (for static analysis time will be representing only load steps) dependent distributed mass matrix in new configurations. 

Any comment will be appreciated 

Thanks
