Despite the controversial debates concerning a unified theory, the continuum plasticity has evolved during the last few decades and an uncountable number of articles has been published on the subject. The proposal of Lee to decompose the deformation gradient, F, into elastic part F^e and plastic part F^p (i.e. F=F^eF^p) combined with the principle of maximum plastic dissipation is used in many publications to formulate the ensuing developments.

Dear Professor,

Having achieved many goals in my career of aircraft design and its material mechanics, I am interested in expanding my professional horizons by seeking new challenges in the area of mechanics of composite materials. I am interested in a postdoctoral position and have enclosed my Curriculum Vitae and a brief description of my research accomplishment for your review and consideration.

Dear all,

I need to calculate SIF in abaqus for some user defined material but I am getting the below error:

 ***ERROR: "*CONTOUR INTEGRAL, TYPE=K FACTORS" CAN NOT BE REQUESTED FOR A USER
           MATERIAL.

Is their any other process to calculate the SIF in abaqus, in case we use user defined material. Please guide me.

Thanks in advance
