iSIGHT and modeFRONTIER
hi all.
i'm not a researcher like allof you, i'm just a final year EEE student. i am seeking help for comparisons between iSIGHT and modeFRONTIER. if anybody can help i'ld be most grateful.
thank you and good day.

Application of FEM in geotechnics
I am looking for specific research topics in applications of FEM in geotechnical engineering. It is just to gather some topics so as to pick the interesting one for my PHD.Anybody willing to share something on this? You can suggest any topic and of course few details will be helpful.

Cell tractions are the outcome of the complex process of cytoskeletal force generation that cell uses to maintain structural stability, to sense the physical environment and to propel itself. We are only now beginning to understand the process of cytoskeletal force generation, and we cannot yet say much about the losses in transmission through focal adhesion/integrin complexes (attachment ‘islands’ at the cell-substrate interface), but we can definitely measure the tractions that result from cytoskeletal force generation. The mechanics behind the measurement method might be of interest to the wider audience of iMechanica, as it involves an interesting inverse problem and different solution methods that have incited lively discussions in past years.
Predictive modeling schemes for wear in tribometers

Study of wear in complex micro-mechanical components is often accomplished experimentally using a pin-
on-disc and twin-disc tribometer. The present paper proposes an approach that involves a computationally
efficient incremental implementation of Archard’s wear model on the global scale for modeling sliding and
slipping wear in such experiments. It will be shown that this fast simplistic numerical tool can be used to
identify the wear coefficient from pin-on-disc experimental data and also predict the wear depths within a
Not just another pillar compression paper
We show that it is possible to distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous dislocation nucleation on the basis of differences in experimentally measured theoretical strengths. From nanoindentation tests, the critical shear stress for dislocation nucleation in two different Mo-alloy single crystals (Mo-3Nb and Mo-10Al-4Ni) is found to be ~1/8 of the shear modulus. The corresponding stress in uniaxially compressed Mo-10Al-4Ni micropillars is ~1/26 of the shear modulus.

Hi:
2D orthogonal metal cutting problems in MSC-marc code
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica
Hi everybody
How do we use MSC-Marc finite element code to simulate the orthogonal metal cutting process? Is there anybody having example or tutorial about that?
best wishes

Question: 3D implicit surface mesher
I want to mesh a 3D surface given as an implicit equation into triangle elements. For example, cos(x)+cos(y)+cos(z)+0.2=0 with -pi<x<pi, -pi<y<pi,-pi<z<pi. Is there any software can do it?
