Fracking has been an important research topic in recent years. JAM just published a paper "Why Fracking Works" by Professor Zdenek Bazant and his co-authors (JAM, volume 81, paper 101010, 2014). This paper is of great interest, not only to mechanics, but also to engineers interested in fracking.
The paper is attached.
I am developing a 2D model in Abaqus v13 in order to study the fatigue properties of a plastic material in oxidative atmosphere. I am using the direct cyclic approach and the XFEM technique. When defining the crack propagation direction I can just select:
-direction perpendicular to the element 1-direction
-direction perpendicular to the element 2-direction
-maximum tangential stress criterion
EMI 2015, the annual conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, will be held at Stanford University on June16-19, 2015. It will be chaired by Prof. Ronaldo Borja ( Department of Civil Engineering, Stanford University).
Immediate Openings for a Post-Doctoral Researcher and Ph.D. student
at
Johns Hopkins University
Center of Excellence in Integrated Materials Modeling (CEIMM)

is there any command available to skip/suppress the element quality check, while running an analysis in abaqus?
A postdoctoral positions in Computational Materials is available in the group of Peter Kroll in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UT Arlington, Arlington, TX. The project focuses on boron nitride, its conversion from "soft" hexagonal to "hard" cubic boron nitride, structural developments during sintering, and mechanical properties. Applicants will have a strong record in solid-state materials simulation and the demonstrated ability to work independently and drive a project.
I have been thinking of doing a college minor project. but because of limited resources of materials and equipments I can take any project so please suggest me some work. The softwares I know are ABAQUS, SOLIDWORKS, MATLAB. plz suggest
Dear Mechanicians,
