ABAQUS unit conversion for nanometer length.

Hi all,

I ran a pre-buckling analysis using ABAQUS. I chose nanometer as my length unit. So for the Young's modulus, since my sample has 100 GPa for the Young's modulus, I put 0.0000001 as the value for the Young's modulus under the material property in the ABAQUS.

However, the resulted eigenvalue (~2 nN) was not as what I expected (~2uN). Based on the calculation based on the Euler buckling theory, the critical load should be around 2 uN.

Design Centered Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs?

Submitted by Gus Engstrom on Mon, 12/08/2008 - 20:56

I would like to pursue graduate study in thefield of mechanical engineering design. I am familiar with Stanford's JointProgram in Design which emphasizes Human-Centered Design, Design Creativity,and Desirability along with standard graduate engineering subject matter. Ihave not however been able to locate other graduate schools which emphasizedesign methodology in such a way. I would be very interested if anyone hasknowledge of schools who teach similar design centered graduate programs.
