hi

i am civil structural ph.d student, i want modeling reinforced masonry with ansys or abaqus software.

please guide me. 

The abstract submission of ISOPE PACOMS-2008 will reach deadline in 15 Feb 2008. For further information please visit our website www.ce.kmutt.ac.th/isope

Now, the deadline has been extended until 29 Feb 2008.

iam using abaqus software for simulating warm deep drawing.If any one know about how to do it please teach me.regarding what are all the properties are reqired for simulation,boundray condition.

i am want to know which failure criterion dominates in a ceramic metal functionally graded material composite.

Can anybody pls give me the reference of related material ? 

Hi!! all

  I am doing analysis of piezoelectric composite beam as 2-d problem. there are 5 layers. top layer is PZT-5A and bottom 4 layers are cross ply graphite-epoxy . beam is simply supported and load is udl pressure. plz tell me how to model this beam in ABAQUS.

Thanks u.

Anyone know the Garwood method which is used to determine the fracture energy of concrete (composite materials)?

Garwood method: with a load - load line displacement curve of an three point bending fracture test (or SENB), we have firstly:

J₀=2U_0/B(H-a₀)

After, an iterative relation is used:

J_n=J_n-1(H-a_n)/(H-a_n-1)+2U_n/B(H-a_n-1)

B,H : width and height of the beam respectively.
