Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

I was looking at the stress concentration at a corner for both a mode I and mode II loading situation.

For reference, see: Carpenter, 1984. Mode I and mode II stress intensities for plates with cracks of finite opening. International Journal of Fracture. V. 26. 201-214. 1984.

The problem that is being addresses is the stress concentration found at a corner in an infine body as seen in the figure below. β=0...π.

Two Questions in Concrete Modeling

Submitted by m_meisam on

Dear  Friends

I've 2 questions:

1) I use abaqus cae for concrete modeling and how can I attech a file (subroutine/etc.) to my model?

2) which category I should use for concrete while making a part(shell/solid)? while I'm trying to make a section , only shell section have a rebar layer and solid section dont have this option! what should I do?

Regards
