We are ready for UKACM School. If you would like to have a sneaky peek look into MoFEM webpages.

Hoang Nguyen continues the second part of the #UKACM2021 school presenting the implementation of a simple Poisson's problem in MoFEM MoFEM / @[email protected]

After a short break, Karol Lewandowski continues the second part of the #UKACM2021 school presenting the solution of elasticity problems in MoFEM MoFEM / @[email protected]

See the new tutorial (MIX-0) about p-adaptivity by Andrei G. Shvarts mofem.eng.gla.ac.uk/mofem/html/tut…

The first plenary lecture of the #UKACM2021 conference is being delivered by Prof Joaquim Peiró Imperial Aeronautics Imperial College London. Prof Peiró presents a variational approach to high-order curvilinear mesh generation and adaptation for compressible flows

UKACM Must see at noon talk by Adriana Kulikova. Finite element model without constitutive equations; is this possible?

UKACM See Ignatios Athanasiadis afternoon ideally brittle crack propagation and contact. Perhaps the only problem formulation that treating unilateral Griffith Constrains and unilateral contact constrain in the fully coupled monolithic scheme.

And here beam like in FENICs and TFEL/MFront example, pushed to limit capacity.

Put two filaments (e.g. ropes or elastic rods) in contact and pull. Simple mechanics problem, right? Well…not so fast. In a recent paper, we have studied this system in detail. pnas.org/content/118/15… Super collaboration with the group of John Maddocks Math EPFL. A thread 1/n

Another test before release of fracture module v0.12.0. We testing it with Valgrind to be sure that are no leaks. Here is a tricky bit, brittle fracture under contact surface. Implementation done by Ignatios Athanasiadis and test was invented by Andrei Shvarts. Team work :)

As Scotland prepares to play England tomorrow it’s worth reminding all of the ⁦University of Glasgow⁩ student who became Scotland captain and led Scotland to a great victory. Different footballing times but a real UofG #WorldChanger #Euro2020 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

I am presenting tomorrow at Office For Nuclear Regulation/EDF Level 4 meeting. MoFEM (MoFEM / @[email protected]) continues to createte impact.

Ok. I going to sleep. Cycling loading. Thermo-plasticity. Implicit integration Calrk-Nicolson in time, with temperature fluxes in h-div, and a couple of other new tricks. Loading until plate temperature reaches 200 degrees, and then code crash.

If we make good progress, as a humanity, we could calculate fatigue of elements, with such precision, that washing machine, or dishwasher, or car part will break within weeks after the warranty expires. Progress in computational mechanics is so cool ;)

The new MoFEM / @[email protected] module for contact and dynamics passes the first tests. 😉 Soon, we will add support for TFEL/MFront library materials. Thank you, Ignatios Athanasiadis and Andrei, for fantastic mortar contact development.

Our paper is online. Multifield finite strain plasticity: Theory and numerics. This is just the beginning, more things are to be done in this approach, and explore possibilities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
