Dynamic Modeling for Viscoelastic material using ANSYS

Submitted by parimal_maity on

Hello,

I am planing to model a viscolestic material in ANSYS and condition is dynamic.

Could anyone please suggest what are the essential things (i mean datas) required for modeling a viscoelastic material?

For example, If I do the DMA test of viscoelastic materials i can have the modulus data at different frequencies. How to use those data in ANSYS to find out the stress-strain curve?

Thnaks for your kind help

Chair and Lectureship in BioEngineering at Durham University, UK

Submitted by Charles Augarde on

Colleagues

Can I draw your attention to a Chair position and Lectureship in Bioengineering at the School of Engineering, Durham University. While the curent Chair position is occupied by an experimentalist, the postitions are open to candidates with interests in computational modelling and I would encourage anyone in that area to take a look.

Further details are available at the Durham jobs website https://jobs.dur.ac.uk/default.asp. Closing dates are 10/07/09 for the Chair and 31/07/09 for the Lectureship.

cohesive element definition in ABAQUS

Submitted by roodge on

Hi there,

 I am sure a lot of you have been using ABAQUS to define cohesive elements. I have seen a lot of forums here and a lot of them specified the Alfano 2001 paper as a great reference. Here is the title of the paper incase anyone is wondering which paper:

G. Alfano and M.A. Crisfield, Finite element interface models for the delamination analysis of laminated composites: mechanical and computational issues, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering 50 (2001), pp. 1701–1736.
