Multiscale.Sim 2022R2 version is now available globally.

Multiscale.Sim is an add-in tool for the Ansys Workbench environment (it's also compatible with Ansys Mechanical APDL). It can help to predict materials behavior using virtual material testing without having to rely on costly and time-consuming physical testing all the time. The software includes a templates library to easily create microstructure of materials. It's available in English and Japanese UI.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

In this work, a Ti/SiC metal matrix nanocomposite (MMNC) coating was produced on Ti-6Al-4V substrate by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technique. The MMNC coating had 7% SiC and 93% Ti by volume. It was observed that applying the nanocomposite coating on titanium substrate significantly reduced the wear and coefficient of friction (COF). By applying the coating, 108% improvement in hardness of Ti-6Al-4V substrates was obtained.

3-point bending test procedure for obtaining flexural and shear modulus

Submitted by Faustino Mujika on Mon, 08/03/2020 - 15:00

mechanical properties

flexural test

composite materials

In the case of orthotropic materials like wood or composites, transverse shear has an effect on the modulus determination by bending tests. A procedure based on three-point bending is proposed. The experimental data required are the load and displacement given by the testing machine. The novelties of the proposal are:

Just released, 105 homework problems for mechanics of composite materials in Webwork environment. You can choose 105 randomized (each student gets different data) or the same 105 problems but not-randomized to make it easier to teach online (all students work with same data so it is easier to answer questions online). Take a look at this introductory Youtube video.
