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?
I am doing impact analysis about beam with FEM.I don't know what source of information should I read in order to model the beam indentation and deformation with FEM.Can you recommend some Impact FEM information and examples to me?Thank you.
hii all..
i am working on fracture mechanics. i had modeled a 4 pt bend specimen having single notch crack(in ABAQUS). i am trying to find the range of K-dominant region at the crack tip.i had modelled radial mesh at the crack tip and using 20 noded reduced integration elements. To analyze the K-dominat region, primarily i had compared the theoritical stress plots and computational stress plots. stress plots means Sxx Syy Sxy values plotted againt the angle(angle measured from uncracked segment) at particular radius.
In beam FEM problem generally the nodal displacement (v) and slope (θ) are taken as primary unknowns to determine the element shape function. What will be the obstackle/s if, instead of considering the slope, the nutral axis curvature (κ) is considered as primary unknown along with the displacement?
I would like to know which software is people using for meshfree simulation. Is there any more or less "standard" one that people tend to use? I'm interested in knowing about any one for any kind of problem.
A post-doc position is available at the University of Notre Dame in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The project focuses on nanocomposite deformation modeling and performing corresponding experiments using primarily atomic force microscope and X-ray diffractometer. Initial position is for one-year and is extensible for another year contingent upon continued funding. The position offers attractive collaborative opportunities with national labs and material synthesis groups across different universities. Salary is negotiable.
Hi guys,
if any body know how to break elements at some specific points during the analysis, would yo please help me?

A postdoc position is available immediately in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Gerogia Tech. Interested persons with atomistic/molecular level simulation of metal/polymer interfaces are invited to contact Jianmin Qu at jq [at] gatech.edu (jq[at]gatech[dot]edu)
I am in urgent need to present structural analysis for construction permits on this simple, small house I designed.
Can anyone present some step-by-step produre to do the analysis of a simple room with these 3D Panels? This way I can proceed to do the entire house.
Or is there any software that can help us in this?

I am looking for two postdocs in the analytical and computational modeling areas. One position will focus on the theoretical and computational modeling of microstructure-modulated failure processes, with an emphasis on nanocrystalline materials. The other will focus on hypervelocity impact fragmentation problems, including planetary scale impact and fragmentation. The latter position is available immediately, and the former is available as of June 1, 2008.
