crack face unloading
hi all
how the crack face unloading is done in Abaqus in 2-D model? i.e. how the nodal reaction force is brought down to zero while there is crack extension?
please help me
hello i am writing u from ethiopia now i am doing design and modeling of motorcycle helmet using viscoelastic materials but i couldn't be able to understand how to use the material models so please help me by showing the prosudure how to use viscoelastic materials proporty

Create a crack on 2D plate using ABAQUS, looking for the stress intensity factor
Hi all,
I am a new user to ABAQUS, and, i am trying to create a crack on a 2D plate by using ABAQUS, and hence look for the stress intensity factor(material: PMMA)
However, i really dun know wut to do after i have created the part (set up the coordinate).
Could anyone please give me the procedure? (PLZ, PLZ, PLZ)
Thank you very much.

Based on the Spatial Twist Continuum, which was discovered by the founder in 1992, a new method has been developed into a commercial level software package that is being rolled out first as a premium high quality hex meshing service.
Faculty Position Open at The Johns Hopkins University
The Johns Hopkins University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in the general area of mechanics and materials. Modeling and simulations are of particular interest, but all outstanding candidates will be considered.
PDF position at the University of New Brunswick, Canada
A post-doctoral position is available in the area of material modeling of composite at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. Particularly, expertise is sought in finite element simulation of damage/fracture and thermomechanical properties of fiber composite. Experience in multiscale finite element modeling of fracture and damage behavior of composite materials is required.
ANSYS
Dear all,
Hello, I am working on stress analysis of a plate by ANSYS, I need to change material properties and real constants of some elements while the load is increased say from load step 1 to 1.1 and onwards. By using restart command the program either restart the analysis from zero loading with new values of MT and RC for the elements or keep the substeps of the load and does not change the MT and RCs.
Please note that the selected element does not support "kill" command.

Dynamic fracture toughness of PMMA decreases with crack velocity
Dear Alls;
I am loking for the paper which said the Dynamic fracture toughness of PMMA decreases with crack velocity under impact loading, but after crack starts propagation, crack velocity is a decreasing function with crack propagation length.
So, if you know the paper which related to that problem, Could you please show me its title?
Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
