Cable integrity inspection tactics for flying wires in hang gliders
Hang glider manufacturers supply flying cable sets; how might pilots inspect the condition of those cables?

Model of Pavement for moving load
Hi
I want to model a pavemnt of three layer and apply moving loads on it by ANSYS. There will be interface between the layers. How can I apply the load? If I merge and compress all after meshing; Is it the correct way to do that?

How to model the contact in a Pile soil Interaction problem using ABAQUS
Hi can anyone please find me a way for modeling pile soil interaction problem using abaqus.Please emphasis on the modeling aspects of contact between pile and soil(clay)...
Thanks in advance

Optimal structural design against elastic instability
In the classical Euler buckling problem, the critical buckling load can be increased by a factor of four if the first mode is suppressed by placing an additional simple support at the mid-point.
modelling of axisymmetric cold extrusion die by abaqus
my problem is simulation of axisymmetric cold extrusion die. the die is conical, i have to determine die pressure, ram force and temprature in billet as well in die, plz see attached file and see simulation figure, my problem is same as in file,i have facing interaction problem in abaqus while solving this problem. plz help me
Mr
Hi friends,
I need to transfer stiffness and mass matrices from ABAQUS to Matlab. ABAQUS does generate matrices but those can be re-used by ABAQUS only. Is there a way to use these matrices in matlab. I know about SDT toolbox for matlab and I-MAT but they are costly.

How to change the Navier equations for non-uniform Lame's constants
Hi Everyone,
I have to confess here that I do not have a mechanics background but I am currently working on a problem where i have to solve the Navier equation with non-uniform Lame constants of an object. If anyonme could guide me towards the necessary literature or any other resource it would be very helpful. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Query on transformation representing deformation fo space , change of basis and orthogonal nature
Hello All
I am trying to read the text book Tensor analysis by IS Sokolnikoff and stuck in
chaper 1, there is some confusion in my mind regarding orthogonal transformations,
change of basis and and a transformation representing deformation of space.
Please bear with me if my confusions are unfounded.
1) Is is safe to say that transformation representing deformation of space acts on
vectors where as transformations representing the change of basis acts on
components?. (if yes then the following questions are resolved and need not be
looked)
2) Sokolnikoff builds up the reasoning for orthogonal transformations based on
deformation of space (i.e orthogonal transofrmations keep the length of vector
