Necking Analysis of Strain Softening Materials ...
Hi all.
I'm studying the high temperature viscoplastic behavior of titanium alloys. It is well known that at high temperature range, deformation induced dynamic recrystallization (DRX) causes dramatically strain softening. Such strain softening behavior is also treated as plastic instable according to literatures.
My first entry
Hello,
My name is Pawel and I am a Junior in Harvard College, studying Mechanical and Materials Science and Engineering.
The only course in solid mechanics I've taken so far is the Harvard's undergraduate intro course ES 120 - I guess it's similar to intro courses offered at other universities. Bits and pieces of solid mechanics also appeared in some other courses, but mostly in a very basic form.
Kejie Zhao
Hi everyone, very glad to see you here. My name is Kejie Zhao, a first year phd student working in Prof.Zhigang Suo's group (www.seas.harvard.edu/suo). My concentration is solid mechanics with the same name of this course, it also signifies its importance to my future research. I graduate from Xi'an Jiaotong University in China before coming to Harvard. There I obtained my bachelor and master degree in Engineering Mechanics and Solid Mechanics respectively.
apdl programs.....
can anyone give me some links to download apdl(ansys programs) codes or examples

Volume of integration point of 3D solid element
Dear All,
I am using 3D solid element in ANSY program. For calculating energy strain of the solid element,I need to determinate volume of each integration point. The 3D solid element used is 8 nodes. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards,
Linh Truong Hong
