I have had some time to write down an informal introduction to Moving Least Squares, from my coding perspective. It is supposed to be a condensation of experiences after some years of using it, although it does not contain any new theoretical aspect.

Dear everyone
If we considerer a 3D fracture stress and strain field as a combination of numerous 2D fields in thickness direction, the J integral at each 2D plane can be obtained according to Rice’s definition (Abaqus and Ansys also include this function). What I concerned is the ratio of J integral at the surface of SEB or CT specimen to that at the mid-plane of the specimen. What factors have influence on the ratio? How to find the quantitive relationship between the factors and the ratio in linear elastic model?

in case you need to explain the epsilon-delta definition of continuity to an engineering student.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for several enthusiastic research students with a strong interest in fluid dynamics. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in fluid-structure interaction problems. The research will be mainly experimental and focused in the area of fluid structure interaction with application to several engineering problems.
Hi,
I am trying to model a reinforced concrete element in Abaqus. I have been running a couple of models for a few weeks. Recently, I tried to validate an new experiment but ran into this error, "The Plastic Strain At First Yield Should Be Set To Zero". For my steel material model, i used elastic = 29520ksi and for the plastic, i keyed in the yield stress followed by the plastic strain. At the first input, plastic strain is zero for the initial yield stress.
I would like to know why ABAQUS is the dominant FEM program (in terms of comments) in this forum? Why do you consider ABAQUS over ANSYS?
I have been using ANSYS for at least 8 years and I am very please with the capabilities of it. But I have not seen ABAQUS or used it. Beside, reading all the comments that are posted in imechanica, I feel like I am using the wrong FEM program.
Which are the advantage of ABAQUS over ANSYS?
Thank you,
Mario J . Juha
Hello,
I'm new in this forum and I've a problem that i can't resolve.
I need to model nitinol in Abaqus: I've red the documentation and many topic in Internet but I don't understand if I must use a VUMAT subrutine or it is sufficent the tool of user defined material in Abaqus/CAE. I need something simple like an elastoplatic behaviour with hysteresis given by the different states of austenite and martensite.
Thanks in advance,
Jam3s
