how can i define frequency domain viscoelastic material & electrorheological in abaqus ?

Hii all,

How can we model a bi-material interface using abaqus. 

Hi everybody,

have you ever tried to implement in Abaqus periodic boundary conditions?

I am doing this. Particularly, I am applying PBC to unit cells constituted of a clay particle in an epoxy matrix.

When I apply PBC in case of transverse shear, I have convergence problems using Abaqus standard,

so I have to use an algorithm of stabilization but because of this one

I have to renounce to the stress continuity between opposite boundaries of the unit cell.

Do you think this is normal or I am doing some mistakes?

One PhD candidate position is available in the Department of Mechanical engineering at the University of Rhode Island. This fully supported position which is to be filled by January 2011, is for thesis research focusing on microstructure/damage interactions in advanced superalloys at elevated temperatures.
