I am going to study the diaphragm behaviour of the composite slab under the lateral loading.
To simulate the system using FEM package (such as ANSYS or ABAQUS). the obtained results from FEM package would then be verified by experimental results that must be done by myself.
Applications of deformable bodies and their simulations?
Hi all,
I am going simulate a plate of porous material (SiC) to evaluate its strengh.
Would someone share some knowledge on the mechanics of the porous materials.
Thanks.

Hi, friends,
Now, I am implementing the non-local continuum theory in ABAQUS through UMAT programming.
Unfortunately, I have been obstacled by the following question:
On one hand, in non-local continuum theory, the non-local strain of every particular integration point is determined by the global strain field all over the specimen.
Hi!
I am wondering if anyone here knows of a generic heat engine simulator. I.e. something that can simulate the behavior of reciprocating engines, Stirling engines, and so forth.
The outputs I'm interested in include things like power and efficiency. The input variables that I would play around with include engine dimensions and material properties.
I have carried out several coupon tests (rectangular coupons similar to
those of ASTM E8). Some of these tests have kind of weird behavior. The
problem arises when I simulate results with ABAQUS. It goes pretty well
until a few steps after necking. Test and ABAQUS results match exactly
until several steps before fracture. After this point, there is a
discrepancy between results and my attempts in capturing the observed
behavior was unsuccessful. (around 10% or more plastic strain).

Dear All,
A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.
The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural
and social sciences.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming NAFEMS North American 2008 Regional Summit: NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation. This is an excellent opportunity for academic researchers, industrial practitioners and software developers to meet for mutual benefit.
For those of who you not familiar with NAFEMS, it is a non-profit, vendor neutral, engineering analyis community.
