Authors are invited to submit, via the conference website, a 200-250 word abstract by 1 June 2008. The 17th International Conference on Wear of Materials (www.wom-conference.elsevier.com) will take place in Las Vegas, April 19-22, 2009. The conference will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro- and nano-scale.

I am analysing a beam made of composite material in ANSYS. loding is axial and is applied on the end face. Other end is fixed. I want the deformed face  to be parallel to undformed face. no out of plane warping or deformation. How to do it ? I know applying foce and displacement constraints simultaneously is not possible(and is not wise) but is there a way  ?

When I contributed a review article "Time Dependent Materials" to Shock and Vibration Computer Programs, Review and Summaries, Ed. W and B Pilkey, SAVIAC, 1995, I found that ABACUS included well organized capabilities for viscoelasticity with a well prepared manual and believe that ABACUS still being remained as a most capable software for the subject by the finite element method.

Hi all,

 Dear all,

For my final year project, I've done the 3D model of a test fixture which is used for the compression testing of a specimen.

When I apply a downward vertical displacement to top Slider B, eventually the 2-slider linkage mechanism will cause the bottom Slider A to move horizontally and to compress the cube shaped specimen.

Hi, 

I must use user subrutine UEL in a Python script.

elemType1 = mesh.ElemType(elemCode=???, elemLibrary=???)

p.setElementType(regions=r, elemTypes=(elemType1, ))

what are the elemCode and elemLibrary that i must use????

 Thanks for help 

hi,

i just want to know either abaqus/cae can modul the reinfocement..or we need to add the text of reiforcement on the input file from CAE pre-processing.
