Rubber Adhesion Behaviour
Dear everyone
My project is about the adhesional friction between rubber and a rigid surface. In this case I have modeled a block of rubber which is sliding on a real rough rigid surface in ABAQUS.

confusion between UMAT and UEL
My Masters thesis work is on fatigue crack growth analysis on microalloy steel using cohesive zone model for mode-I crack growth.I had seen papers
on cohesive zone model which is attached here,in that damage based cohesive model is implemented. I would like to know how can we implement
damage mechanisms in ABAQUS,means whether it is necessary to write UMAT or UEL for the same?
can any one give me some suggestions?
Looking forward to your reply.
thank you very much.
Washington Research Foundation Innovation Fellows Program in Clean Energy
We are pleased to announce the Washington Research Foundation Innovation Fellows Program in Clean Energy (http://www.cei.washington.edu/innovation). With the generous support of the WRF, we have been able to establish a competitive program that will help us recruit some of the most talented clean energy researchers to the UW. Here are some of the program highlights:

matlab code to create cohesive elements (or UMAT) in any 2D mesh
To use cohesive elements, normally user can add a layer of elements between neighbouring node pairs. This matlab code can help you to process that especially your FE mesh is irregular. The code, the initial .inp file and corresponding out put files are attached for a better illustration. The new generated cohesive elements won't cause any trouble in the element number. Also you can apply this code to generate new UMAT elements in mesh.

Post-doctoral position at Purdue University in computational modeling of biomineralized materials
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Computational Multi-Scale Materials Modeling Lab in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University to work with a multidisciplinary/multiuniversity team in the area of modeling of biomineralized and bio-inspired materials. The goal of the program is to uncover fundamental design rules and develop simple and basic scientific foundations for the predictable design of bio-inspired materials that are light-weight, tough and strong.
