Submitted by Matt Pharr on

Colleagues,

The technical meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis on September 28-30, 2020. As part of this meeting we are organizing a symposium in Track 5: Frontiers in Mechanics of Materials with a minisymposium title of “Mechanics Of Electrochemically Active and Ferroelastic Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is March 17th. We encourage you to submit an abstract or to forward to any interested parties, e.g., your students or colleagues.

Molecular mechanics of beta-sheets

Beta-sheet protein structures and domains are widely found in biological materials such as silk. These assemblies play amajor role in the extraordinary strength and unique properties of biomaterials.  In our new work, we employ simple Langevin-based models to investigate the behavior and the collapse of these structures.

Question about wire model with beam element in ABAQUS

Submitted by XJIAN QIU on

I want to do a finite element analysis of the braid vessel stent model with the B31 beam element and the explicit solver, and I find that the wires in the analysis are discontinuous. Should I add some constraints or cross-sectional connections?

I set the radial displacement of all the nodes, as usual the stent should be extended, but the result was not, and the lines became independent segments.
