Composites

RVE analysis becomes a routine exercise in material modeling. Usually it is carried out using finite element codes such as ABAQUS or ANSYS. The main thing one should pay attention is to applying the right boundary conditions. It is settled that periodic boundary conditions are the preferred boundary conditions to be applied. The BCs are that u_i-\epsilon_{ij}x_j should be equal on the corresponding edges. This type of boundary conditions can be applied using coupled equations constraints. This requires that one creates a mesh with corresponding nodes on periodic edges.

The deadline of Abstract submission for the 37th Risø International Symposium is the 15th March 2016. The theme of the symposium is the scientific basis for understanding the performance of composite materials.

Tasks:

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in the minisymposium “Nonlocal Theories and Multiscale Methods for Complex Material Behavior” that we are organizing at the 12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) to be held on July 24-29, 2016 in Seoul, Korea, jointly with the 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI).

We are pleased to show the results of our 2015 Animations Contest, which offered our users the chance to demonstrate their innovative work by having their 3D image data converted into a high-quality animation by our experienced engineers.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit an abstract for the 'Dynamic Behavior of Composites' under session track 1 'Dynamic Behavior of Materials' for the upcoming SEM XIII international Conference in Orlando, FL June 6-9, 2016
