ASME IMECE 2008: Current Issues in Polymer Nanocomposites

Submitted by Frank Fisher on
The symposium "Current Issues in Polymer Nanocomposites" is being organized for the 2008 ASME IMECE Conference to be held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA from October 31 - November 6. The symposium is Track 13-11 [corrected track number] and is co-sponsored by the Materials Division of ASME. General topics of interest for the symposium may include, but are not limited to:

* Consistency between experimental and computational studies on nanocomposites

* Processing-property relationships of nanocomposite systems

EFD or CFD Softwares Help

Submitted by projpeixe on

Please, I need some EFD or CFD software that has an Student Version. I have to make an analysis Solid-Fluid and vice versa, but i have no software to make that.

Now I'm using Pro/E to make Streches and statics analysis, but i cant do any EFD or CFD without any patch or software.  Anyone knows any?

Review: Coarse-grained model for normal mode analysis of proteins

Submitted by Kilho Eom on

The preprint provides the summary and/or review of current state-of-art in coarse-grained modeling of protein structures for normal mode analysis. This review summarizes the quasiharmonic analysis, Go model, elastic network model, and recently suggested coarse-grained models for protein structures.

ANSYS-smeared crack models

Submitted by LINH TRUONG HONG on

Dear all,

 

I just use ANSYS to model brick masonry.  I use solid65 for modeling brick masonry to define crack with smeared crack model but I have some problems:

 

1. The solid65 is only for isotropic, beside brick masonry exbihits as orthotropic. Could you introduce me what element can model brick masonry with orthotropic behaviour to define smeared crack?
