Phase field predictions of microscopic fracture and R-curve behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

Dear iMechanicians,

I hope that the following work is of interest to you. We combine the phase field method with cohesive zone modelling to predict the fracture behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites across scales.

CFD model in ABAQUS

Submitted by YaserTaghikhani on

Dear experts, I wish that you are healthy amid this virus. l appreciate you if you help me

At first, I don't know why I have electromagnetic model instead of CFD model in my ABAQUS 2018.

Secondly, I want to simulate a structure in which I should use an UMAT code (for a solid material that connot be described in property) beside a fluid problem (to simulate water). Is it feasible to have two both models simultaneously?

Thank you beforehand.

Enhancement of hydroxyapatite dissolution through structure modification by Krypton ion irradiation

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

Heavy ion irradiation can be used to modify the atomic structure of a material and improve its dissolution characteristics as shown here. This has implication for the design of bioceramics

 

Abstract

Compressive performance and crack propagation in Al alloy/Ti2AlC composites

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

The morphology of MAX phase composites is examined here. Specifically, crack branching is examined in Al - Ti2AlC composites showing the role of MAX phase distribution on the fracture performance of such materials. Ductile alloy phases serve to deflect cracks in the hard, yet tough, MAX phase.
