Crack length in fracture mechanics
Forums
Hi,
Could please any one knows give me an idea about solving a problem which I face for the ages.
I have modelled a beam with a sharp edge at the corner of a rectangular hole with ABAQUS. I have introduced different crack length and using LEFM, I have made some predictions for the failure load of the beam. Now the predicted load is dependent on the crack length. How can I chooose the right crack length?
Thank you
FEMhub: Scientific computing for the rest of us
I came across a wonderful site a couple of weeks ago. nb.femhub.com
FEMhub is still at its beginning stage, but it can already do lots of interesting stuff. For someone like me who teaches numerical/computer methods in engineering at a developing country where computing is costly, tools like FEMhub are very much welcome.
More about FEMhub on my website. Try out the example worksheets and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Open Source Software Repositories
I will be setting up an open source project for parallel finite element analysis in the next month or two. I am just wondering what the community's opinion is regarding the best repository to use.
SourceForge? Google Software? Others?
Your opinions are welcome.
My initial experience with VTK
I wrote my first experience of using VTK with my hp-FEM code here. This is only with linear tetrahedra. To use VTK for high-order elements seem formidable, altough there's a paper that describes how it can be done. If anyone has experiences with VTK in FEM, I'd love to consult with you.
