First announcement of
GADeS Summer School on
Stability and Bifurcation of Dynamical Systems:
Theoretical Aspects and Applications
July 3-7, 2017, Savona, Italy
I have implemented a Arc length continuation method for material non-linearity. The program quits with low arc length values while it progresses well for high arc length values. I am attaching a png image for your understating about the nature of the force deformation curve. Can you please clarify me about the problem and provide me any suggestions on it.
Thanks in advance.
This is a reminder that the deadline to apply for the financial aid for the summer course in Udine is approaching: March 22.
Short course at Centre International de Sciences Mechanique (CISM), Udine.
May 22-26, 2017
Lecturers: S Forest, I Groma, D McDowell, S Mesarovic, J-N Roux, H Zbib

Recently, Politecnico di Milano in Italy has attempted to force all teaching at Master level in English. This has been stopped by some academics who went to different levels of administrative courts, and recently there was a prononciation of the Supreme Court. The matter is not settled yet, but you can find an account of this with various links here.
Hi,
I am a PhD student working on rock mechanics. I have studied Cohesive Method for a few times. But I am confused on What the special functions the Cohesive element have compared with Discrete method?
For one DEM software UDEC， model is consisted of solid elements and joints elements. What's the difference between Cohesive element and Goodman element?
When: Tuesday, February 7, 2017
Where: Synopsys Reading Training Centre, 100 Brook Drive, Green Park, Reading, RG2 6UJ, United Kingdom
Overview
This one-day intensive training course intends to give new and existing users sufficient knowledge of the basic functionality of Simpleware software. It will allow you to develop workflows based your areas of research and future projects.
Hello everybody,
I am trying to perform a harmonic analysis of a material sample (say a simple 2D plate) with an edge crack in it using 'Ansys R16'. I see that under sinusoidal loading condition, the two crack faces open or close and interpenetrate (after closing which is not possible practically).
