Simpleware Case Study: Homogenisation of the Material Properties of Multi-Phase Materials
Modelling large structures containing multiple phases over much shorter length scales is often very difficult. Learn how Double Precision Consultancy in the UK solved this problem using Simpleware software when analysing a Mussel shell acquired using X-ray tomography.

Are shear-moment diagrams wrong in ANSYS Workbench 16.1 ?
I think I found an ERROR in ANSYS Workbench 16.1 and I hope someone can either CONFIRM or show me what I did wrong.
This is very important because I am teaching this material, but I do not have support from ANSYS, so I am asking for your help.
beam_static_structural.jpg : shows a cantilever beam 8 in long under line load -50 lb/in, E=29 msi, cross section 0.75 in wide by 1.5 in tall.
beam_triads.jpg: element triads clearly show cross section coordinates are aligned with global x-y-z coords
Aneurysm rupture
Aneurysms are local dilations of the arterial wall that are prone to rupture with high mortality risks. The biochemical mechanism of the aneurysm development is not clear. The mechanical mechanism of the aneurysm rupture is not clear either. I attach three papers that study two possible mechanisms of the aneurysm rupture.
Mesoscale Constitutive Modeling of Non-Crystallizing Filled Elastomer
We have just published a new paper, 1st in the series, that presents a computational model to understand the microstructural changes in the filled elastomers as a consequence of mechanical forces. A heterogeneous (or multiphase) constitutive model at the mesoscale explicitly considering filler particle aggregates, elastomeric matrix and their mechanical interaction through an approximate interface layer is presented. An innovative lego-set method is discussed for generation of random microstructures that can be used for simple stochastic analysis.
