Using XFEM with Implicit Dynamic step in Abaqus
Hi,
I have used XFEM in Abaqus for static analysis. I use traction-separation cohesive behavior with XFEM.
I want to use XFEM in implicit dynamic analysis. I am using Abaqus version 6.12. As far as I know xfem was allowed only with static analysis in earlier Abaqus versions (6.9). I read that the newer versions have implicit dynamic analysis compatiblity with XFEM.
PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Soft Active Materials
I am looking to recruit a new PhD student in the area of computational modeling of soft active materials. The position will begin as early as January 2014, or alternatively in September 2014. Requirements for this position including the ability to program in C++, knowledge of nonlinear finite element methods and continuum mechanics, and a good background in solid mechanics. If interested, please contact me at parkhs(at)bu.edu, with a copy of a CV and a description of your previous research experience.

large deformation of beam element
hello
my name is mohamad. I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to use of total lagrangian formulation for analysis of a cantilever. my difficulty is on implementation of newton raphson method and incrementing load. my code does not converge. can you help me. if there is a simple code I was wondering if someone aware me.
thanks in advance.
