Several approaches have been used to deal with the complex problem of helical strands in bending. One of them is based on Love’s curved rods theory. It has first been used by Costello in his classical monograph “Theory of Wire Rope”. It has been extended by Sathikh et al. in several papers. A new contribution from this group is a Ph.D. Thesis by D. Gopinath : “Some studies on bending response of the stranded cable under free bending and constrained bending”, Anna University, Chennai (India), October 2013, 121 pages.

We are offering the PhD studentship at the
University of Surrey, and we are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates.
This project focuses on applications of metallic foams where structural functionality is combined with energy absorption, damping, heat insulation, and noise silencing.

Hi,
Iwant to model progressive impact damage problem in Abaqus. I know the theory, but I don't know how to use Abaqus to modeling damage. is there any example, tutoial or etc to help me?
thanks
I am doing my thesis and my topic is hypervelocity impact testings on foils.
Can anyone suggest me which software will be quite useful to perform simulation for my thesis.
LS-DYNA- Abaqus- AUTODYN. And where i can find related materials to start up with these software.
I find it quite confusing and since on internet for LS-DYNA & AUTODYN, less materials are available.
Thanks
I am modeling a plate under three point bending with Abaqus. The plate
is a sandwich structure with aluminum plate (thickness: 5mm), adhesive glue (thickness:
0.02mm) and a kind of foam (thickness: 15mm) bonding together. Their Young’s
modulus is at the order of 100GPa, 1MPa and 100MPa. While in incremental
calculation, the job is always be aborted for not achieving convergence. I just
wonder whether the cause of not achieving convergence should be attributed to
the huge difference in Young’s modulus.
