The
schedule for our 2012 training classes is now available. The classes cover the following topics: polymer mechanics, experimental testing, material model selection, and advanced finite element modeling techniques.
The
next class is on Feb 15 - 16, 2012. Register now while space is still available.
Both online (web-based) and in-person (classroom-style) training classes are available. The training classes are targeted to people with an interest in learning the state of the art in testing and analyzing the mechanical performance of parts made from plastics, rubbers, thermosets, or other types of polymers.
I gave a presentation on advanced FE modeling of PLLA intereference screws at the ANSYS User's conference in Boston on Sep 14, 2011. In my presentation I discussed how the design of degradable screws can be optimized for use in Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. PLLA is a non-linear viscoplastic material that can be accurately modeled using the PolyUMod library.

I'm able to manage rigid motions successfully, but what is giving me hard time is matrix change due to material non-linearity and that is what needs to be captured by the scaling factor. To be more...
