Literature for Multi-surface plasticity

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Dear all,

 

Can someone please guide me to comprehensive literature for implementing multi-yield surface plasticity in numerical codes. I am not sure if I, properly, understand the algorithm.

 

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Cast iron plasticity in abaqus

Submitted by YangTan on

Hello all,

 I want to use Cast iron plasticity in Abaqus/Explicit, but the cast iron plasticity in abaqus can only be used in Abaqus/Standard, so  a vumat should be written to do it. But in the document, the formulation of flow potential in tension region  is not given explicitly, i stopped here.

Can anyone help me with this?

 if anyone have the ph.d. Thesis of Hjelm,H.E., please send me a copy.

thanks.

reinforced concrete earthquake response with FEM

Submitted by blondie on

Hello!

 

I am a student currently working on my Master's thesis. I am supposed to model a reinforced concrete wall-slab connection undergoing seismic loading. I read an article where this was done with ANSYS. However, my experience with ANSYS is non-existent so I was wondering are there any tutorials on how to model the reinforcement or do a time-history analysis (preferably both)? I'm supposed to test connection configurations and then conclude whether or not they're suitable for seismic detailing. ANY help would be deeply appreciated!

i am doing my mtech project on ballistic imapct of composite plates.i want to include the shock wave response of the material in the vumat code.can anyone provide useful suggestions regarding this?i also want to know can we plot the output results using the vumat code?if its possible what is the command line for that?

Engineering journal that is reliable (high impact factor is better) that discuss about the expert opinion

I have been asking this question in physics, chemistry, corrosion engineering, the same question.

now, in this forum, i am hoping to get some information in this subject too.

Engineering journal that is reliable (high impact factor is better) that discuss about the expert opinion, philosophy. Not on the data 'show and tell'

thanks

Journal with high impact factor that discuss more on expert opinion?

Submitted by Peter A on

what is the journal with moderate or high impact factor that discuss about expert opinion on the philosophy of science in general?

I am not interested in indepth particular data show and tell type. I am more onto scientifical philosophy.

Sorry, I have been asking about this also in chemistry forum and corrosion forum.

and now, I am asking in the mechanics...

your answer could be both in the science in general, or in the subject of your expertise.

thank you.
