Energy Calculation of Permanent Magnet
Does anyone know how to calculate the total energy or power of permanent magnet?
Thanks a lot
Tiaxiality in unit cell calculation
Dear imechanica Members,
I want to make a comparison between the results of a calculation of unit cell model and Gurson but I have a little problem on the triaxiality.
How to use the Riks algorithm in AbaqusCAE that the triaxiality remains constant during the loading of a unit cell?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
How to represent a "bird" in ABAQUS
Dear all,
I will model a bird to impact a shell at high velocity by ABAQUS. I decide to model the "bird" by ALE mesh and referred by EOS equation.
However, most simulation works are done by LS-Dyna. Do anyone know how to determine the parameters in ABAQUS for the "bird" in EOS equation?
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
Jason,
Best regards
Fracture initiation in NiTi
Hi!
I am investigating the effect of triaxial stress state on the superelastic behavior in NiTi. In this regard I have conducted some simple tensile tests on notched specimen until fracture. The next step is to investigate the fracture surfaces in SEM to determine point of initiation and the structures. However, as my knowledge in fractography is limited at best, I am not really sure what to look for to determine eg. fracture initiation.

Lectures on Soft Active Materials, 2nd edition
In May 2008, I posted 3 lectures on Soft Active Materials given at UCSB. I have since given similar lectures on other occasions, but never all three at the same place. The field has been active. The lectures have been updated with new items. I’m now posting the “2nd edition” of these lectures.
- Dielectric elastomers
- Neutral gels
- Polyelectrolyte gels
- pH-sensitive gels
The slides are posted as delivered. No effort is made to eliminate repeating slides.
MPC omega method
Hello All..
i am finding the MPC omega method for the devlopment of Isochronous curve..in which i am searching in the ASME catalogue but it will want 599$ so it will not affodable me...so anybody who will guide me..

about the multiscale aggregating method (MAD) of Prof. Belytschko
Hello all
I have spent a large amount of time trying to undertstand the multiscale aggregating method (MAD) of Prof. Belytschko. Unfortunately, I still can not compltely understand the method.
If there is anyone here in the forum already gets clear about the method, please help me.
