Seventh International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis - 3 - 6 July, 2016 - Abstract Submissions now open

Submitted by Korporaald on

Engineering failure analysis is a key tool for the improvement of the modern innovation cycle now demands that component design involves a whole-of-life approach, incorporating an awareness of manufacture, safety, reliability, environmental sensitivity and disposal. This has focused attention on the pivotal role of failure analysis as an essential tool to improve equipment availability, help prevent accidents and disasters and to inform the processes of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of key plant and equipment.

Simpleware Workshop at CMBBE 2015

Submitted by Simpleware on

We're running a workshop at the 13th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering (CMBBE) in Montreal, Canada.

Date: Thursday, September 3rd 2015
Time: 3.25pm-5.30pm
Presenter: Tom Spirka (PhD)

The workshop allows attendees to learn about the many capabilities in our software for generating models from 3D image data (such as MRI and CT) for biomechanics and biomedical engineering. It will cover topics such as:

to get dynamic pressure from total pressure in CFD

Submitted by sachin46 on

Dear all, 

I am working on project where I have number of  pressure files from CFD analysis (Star CCm). The pressure files are orresponding to ship. My aim is to perform transient structure analysis in ANSYS. As per literature survey I have to do analysis neglecting still water bending moment.

Does anybody know how to remove still water bending moment from pressure history that I have ?

Thanking you in Advance .  

Open Faculty Positions at the University of Houston: Multiple areas; All ranks; Solid Mechanics/Control Systems

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for an open rank faculty position at the Assistant/Associate/Full Professor level beginning Fall 2016. Successful candidates are expected to establish an internationally recognized dynamic research program in the broad areas of solid mechanics or control systems.

 

Is there anyone who can explain my error of input?

Submitted by tslee on

Hello, everyone

 

I made a model to depict thin film on polymer.

Film is modeled to isotropic and elastic material and polymer is modeled to hyperelastic and Neo-Hookean material.

As you can see in my input file, I input all of information needed.

Could you explain why 'elements have incorrect property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set WarnElemIncorrectProperty' error message occurs?

 

Best,

Taeksang

 

Below is my input file.
