How to simplify the circular section to the 2-D plane strain problem

Submitted by yinqilin007 on

Hi friends, 

   I am calculating the bearing capacity of a circular footing on soil using the 3-Dimensional FE model. Meanwhile, I have seen some literature, in which they simplfied the 3-D model to 2-D plane strain model.  In their plane strain models, the footing has the same diameter with 3-D model.

2 Post-Doc Positions in Computational Materials Science

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

Within the framework of the Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg the materials modeling group of the Institute for General Material Properties is inviting applications for postdocs in the field of atomistic simulations of mechanical properties.  The research projects will focus on the role of interfaces on the plastic deformation and fracture of nanostructured materials.

PhD Position in Computational Materials Science / Glass Physics

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

The Atomistic Materials Modeling group of Prof. Erik Bitzek is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position at the Institute for General Materials Properties within the Department of Materials Science of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany. The objective of the PhD project is to use atomistic simulation methods to study the influence of topological anisotropy on the mechanical properties of inorganic glasses.

Abaqus/Python - commands to find nearest node to a given point

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

Hi,
I need to write a python comman code to find a node (in a given set), nearest to a given point.
The code now looks as follows:
import sys
sys.path.insert(10, 
r'c:/SIMULIA/Abaqus/6.13-3/code/python/lib/abaqus_plugins/findNearestNode')
import nearestNodeModule
nearestNodeModule.hideTextAndArrow()
a = mdb.models['FibreModel'].rootAssembly
n1 = a.instances['Fibre0-1'].nodes
pickedSelectedNodes = n1[0:599]
g=nearestNodeModule.findNearestNode(xcoord=101, ycoord=106, zcoord=58, name='', selectedNodes=pickedSelectedNodes, instanceName="'Fibre2-1'")

help to wright umat for multi yield surfaces j2 plasticity model

Submitted by kamal paknejad on

Hi every one. Im working on multi yield surfaces j2 plasitisity and if its possible i want add cappability to predict time dependant hehaivior of geomaterials. to start i must wright an umat code for multi yield surfaces j2 model. please help me how can i find it or give me any information about it. thanks for every one.
