Help in abaqus modelling
Hi all,
I am currently working on my Masters thesis which is the analysis of sandwich structures subjected to blast loading using Abaqus. Can someone suggest some references which would explain me how to apply blast loading using abaqus.
There is an example problem of submarine in the abaqus user's manual which includes the blast loading. But they've only given the inp file for that.
So can someone also tell me how to generate .cae file from .inp file in abaqus.
Best Regards,
Effect of Gurson model parameters on the J integral for a CCP specimen with Abaqus
Hi
The question is coupling the Gurson model with the crack propagation on a CCP specimen with Abaqus. Then a study of the influence of parameters of the Gurson model J-intgrale And deduct the best set of the parameters with we can adjust the JR curve computed on the experimental curve

Post-doctoral Research Associate Position
A post-doctoral research associate position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Maryland NanoCenter at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the area of multi-scale modeling (from atomistic, molecular, coarse-grained to continuum) of carbon-based nanostructured materials. Material properties of specific interest include mechanical and electrical properties, with special focus on deformation/failure mechanisms and bandgap engineering.

Pijaudier-Cabot and Bazant concept of non local damage
Hello all,
I would like to seek help on a topic on which I am slightly ignorant.
I do not understand the concept of non local damage and the internal length of the non local continuum as described by the well quoted paper of Pijaudier-Cabot and Bazant (1987) in continuum damage mechanics. So may I please ask the experts in this forum to please explain to me using some simple analogy.
Dependence of relaxation time on the polymer length (via a string of viscoelastic springs)
Dear all,
According to polymer theory, the relaxation time depends on its length (or unit number), and there exist some relationships to describe such dependence. The smaller number of polymer units, the smaller the relaxation time of the polymer is. How to describe this via a simple model of visco-elastic springs?
