Communication time out in Fluid Structure Interaction Problem in Abaqus

Submitted by jayendiran on

Hi,

I am working on Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. I am trying to understand the tutorial problem (Flow through a bent Pipe (FSI)) given in Abaqus. When I submitted the Coexecution job I am getting an error in the abaqus comman window "Session has been idle for longer than 3600 secs". But the coexecution jon shows it is running, there is no update in .sta file also.  Please help me to solve this issue. Thankyou in advance.

 

Transfer printing enabled soft composite films for tunable surface topography

soft composites - transfer printing - tunable corrugations

Transfer printing, an emerging manufacturing technique for heterogeneous material integration, is combined with the unique mechanics of soft composite films to realize a responsive surface for tunable topography in this work. Soft composite films are fabricated by transfer printing thin silicon ribbons on elastomeric films in a staggered manner. The corrugation formation in soft composite films requires a well-organized spatial distribution of the silicon ribbons which is enabled by transfer printing processes developed here.

Search for a postdoc position

Over the years i have been following with keen interest the various posts on this website especialy those related to the progress in research. I am always fascinated when new posts present current works which at time seem so difficult for me to understand but at times, very familiar and i identify with those. Such topics include those related to materials characterisation, tribological properties, thermal analysis of composite materials (polymer composites, metal alloy, aluminum matrix).

challenge

cdmHUB has completed the level I micromechanics simulation challenge. Several micromechanics methods/tools including both commercially available tools such as  Altair MDS, ESI VPS, Digimat, SwiftComp and research codes such as MAC/GMC/HFGMC and FVDAM, are used to analyze six typical 2D/3D microstructures. All the results and model files, inputs and outputs, and the report are hosted on cdmHUB as a live project at https://cdmhub.org/projects/mmsimulationchalleng/.

How can I avoid stress concentration at fixed support

Submitted by Echeban on
education
beam bending

I have a cantilever beam, 8 in long, rectangular cross section W=0.75 in, H=1.5 in, E=29 msi, Poisson's=0.3, under uniform line load qy = -50 lbf/in (y direction) entire length, bending around strong axis (zz). Beam theory solution M*c/I gives max. stress = 5687 psi.

I model with ANSYS Workbench, uniform mesh Ex-3-6-3D-Normal-Stress.PNG attached.

If I refine the mesh I only get more and more stress concentration. Expected but how to avoid? I just want to get the same result as M*c/I to show how FEA can predict the same as beam theory. 

Call for Papers - Optimization for Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)

Submitted by a12najafi on

The AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Technical Committee (MDO TC) is very pleased to announce a call for papers to be presented in a series of special sessions on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) within the AIAA SciTech conference. To this end, the MDO TC is soliciting papers with recent research, technological advancements, and systems level perspectives that address issues/challenges involved utilization of computational methods in optimization and design over multiple length scales from “processing”

The Mechanical Theory of Heat, by Rudolf Clausius, edited by Thomas Archer Hirst, 1867

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

This book collects English translations of nine papers, published in journals by Clausius, between 1850 and 1865.  This collection of original papers should not be confused with a later book of the same title, also by Clausius, where he worked his original papers into a textbook.
