I am trying to model a rigid box which deforms into a parallelogram on application of
displacement/velocity. I have made a box using 4 rigid plates ,but when I apply
the shear force the plates lose contact. I have used no seperation technique
it didn't help .kindly give a solution asap.

Hi freinds,
I have a model in ansys, I did modal analysis on it, but low frequency don't appear in it. in experimental results appear low frequency . please help me, why low frequency don't appear in ansys.

Hello everyone,
I want to model a connection between two steel plates which form a T-section. The welds are fillet weld. Do you have any recommendation how to model the weld? One way I think of is to connect the two plates with two solid elements weld through tie constraint. You think that's a right way of doing that?

We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to the symposium of Mechanics of Multifunctional 2D materials and 2D-based Nanostructures at the 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES 2016) to be held at University of Maryland College Park (October 2-5, 2016).
Symposium Description
By: A. Deraemaeker and Payam Soltani
Abstract:
Pendulum tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) are used to passively mitigate the vibrations of tall structures and buildings. The main objective of this short note is to introduce analytical formulae for the optimum design of the linear PTMD coupled to an undamped primary system. Den Hartog's equal peak method is applied to derive the optimum design. With the mass ratio between the primary system and the PTMD, the optimum length and optimum damping of the pendulum are calculated. The formulae are presented in both dimensional and non-dimensional forms and are simple to apply in real applications. It is also shown that the vibration mitigation performance of the proposed optimum design precisely matches the results obtained by numerical optimisation techniques.
