Design and Optimization of Axial, Mixed-flow and Radial Turbines for Turbochargers Webinar

Submitted by ADT on

The turbocharger efficiency has a direct effect on the fuel efficiency of the engine. However in many turbocharger turbine applications it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve the turbine efficiency with conventional design methods.

Extract Consistent Mass Matrix for Solid Element - ABAQUS

Submitted by Evelyne El Masri on

I need to extract the consistent mass matrix of a solid element, the thing is every time I use *MATRIX GENNERATE  it gave me the lumped mass matrix which is a reduced version of the consistent mass matrix. However, if I use a beam element, I just need to print out next to *Beam Section, Lumped = NO to give me the consistent mass matrix but only this option is applicable for beam element which will not be helpful model cause I need a solid element.

 

In summary, I just need to know how to get the consistent mass matrix of a solid element and not the lumped one.

Question about calling subroutine to get strain and stress

Submitted by zengziw on

I am writing a subroutine DFLUX, the FLUX(1) is dependent on strain and stress. But I don't know how to get the strain and stress. I use SPRINC in the code but it seems to be wrong.

The equation for the problem is 

q=(α^2XΩXε^2XE)/2
E=(σ/ε)*sin(d)
σ is stress and ε is strain

Postdoctoral position on: Identification of elastic microstructures from full-field measurements - CNRS & Aix-Marseille University France

Submitted by Cédric Bellis on

A one-year postdoctoral position is available at the Laboratory of Mechanics & Acoustics, CNRS & Aix-Marseille University, France.

The project focuses on image-based identification problems for physical quantities of interest in solid mechanics within the framework of optical measurement methods for complex manufactured materials. The guideline objective is to develop an identification framework for multiscale, heterogeneous and anisotropic media.

More information can be found in the attachment.

Application deadline: February 28th, 2015.
