Submitted by Junlan_Wang on

Dear Colleagues,

The ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT-2015, to be held in Seattle from June 29-July 1, 2015 is a prime opportunity to showcase your research and network with other researchers in the field. The website for abstract submission is now open. On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to submit your abstract (up to 2 per speaker) at:  Http://www.asmeconferences.org/mcmat2015

Sincerely,

VUHARD for material subroutine and abaqus 6.13.1 requirements

Submitted by aayusha on

Hi all,

I am new at subroutine and abaqus requirements and its compatibility. I am trying to use a subroutine VUHARD for the material modeling of polycrystalline material under shock loading. I am not sure if I can use VUHARD because of my lack of experience in subroutines. I have couple of questions listed below and I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a insight in this subject.

1) Can I use visco-plastic formulation (rate- dependent) in VUHARD?

Fluid Modeling by Lagrangian elements

Submitted by ho1mo on

Hi

I want to extract frequencies from a fluid/structure model by ABAQUS, but fluid elements just available in Explicit library, and frequency procedure just put on Abaqus Standard, So I decide to use lagrangian element instead of eulerian for fluid. But I don't know how I can do it,

Has EveryBody a solution to extracting frequencies of fluids instead of what I mentioned?

 

Thanks in advanced

Submitted by claudiosaul.lopes on
The research group of Design and Simulation of Composites Structures at IMDEA Materials, led by Drs. Carlos González and Cláudio S. Lopes, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of multiscale computational mechanics of advanced composites. Candidates with strong background knowledge on computational damage mechanics, model development, and numerical simulation of advanced composite materials and structures are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience in experimental mechanical testing of composites is highly valued.

Adaptive periodical representative volume element for simulating periodical postbuckling behavior

Submitted by Bin Liu on

Finite element method (FEM) with fixed representative volume element (RVE) encounters some difficulties in simulating the periodical postbuckling behaviors of infinite long beam or infinite large film on soft substrate under compression, because the wavelength and pattern of buckling are not known before simulation and will change with the increase of compression strain.
