Thanks all, for your interesting comments and advise. Looks like corporate interests are converging towards settling down in the Dallas, TX area.. Seems not like the best place to live, but there must be some nice communities there as well. By the way, is it common practice to rent furnished homes?
Thanks guys for the helpful responses. FYI, our company provides products and services for the semiconductor industry, therefore TI, Freescale etc.-> Texas, IBM / Micron / Infineon -> east-coast, Intel etc.-> Oregon, Arizona.
On the other hand, we'll be looking for engineering and manufacturing...
Hi all,
I've been asked by my current employer to start up a branch office in the US. Our (potential) customers are based all over the place, the East-coast (Virginia to NY), Texas, Arizona and Oregon.
We still need to define where our HQ will be, and this will also affect my future living...
Hi all,
I have a question wrt a code combination that I've found on an old report (the company that wrote the report no longer exits) about a hollow slab (1.2x4.8x0.2 meters).
It states the following codes which refer to a allowable moment:
0.4.0.0. 48.26 kNm
0.5.0.0. 54.43 kNm...
I have a question regarding the height of wind turbine towers. As I understand, the bigger turbines (1-2.5MW) currently operate (in Europe) at around 70-100 meters. Now I've read somewhere that at a higher operating height, the wind speed, thus the operating power, is greater. The problem is to...
sms: We are operating out of the Netherlands. The airlines let us check the equipment, but at customs, they pick them out of the line to open the luggage and then they have to explain what is inside (sometimes, they even had to do an actual measurement of the office floor!). Most of the times...
Hello all,
I have a non-technical question, but since there is much experience with measurement equipment available in the forum, maybe you can help me out.
Our engineers travel around the world with measurement equipment (analyser, sensors and impact hammer). Since we do not have over-capacity...
Hi,
I'm looking for a good software package, suitable for modal analysis. We currently use Iotech wavebooks (8 ch) and PCB ICP sensors. Signal analysis is done with Dasylab.
Any advice?
thanks

The .dat file is a good start, but the material properties are in someway tuneable, i.e. you may have to try to fit your calculations with an experiment. I'm not familiar with the way the .dat file is set-up, we use a little bit different approach; also I must add that doing non-linear...

About applying the dynamic displacements part:
If you apply dynamic forces, these would result in (dynamic) displacements and then could be used for plotting.
Dynamic forces may be applied using harmic analysis type, which is a harmonic analysis.
About the plotting part:
Define a path...
The formula gives the strain as a function of the time, so the unit is correct.
The Burger model indeed refers to Viscoelastic flow, but it seems to be quite accurate for epoxy like materials.
Maui,
Thanks for your answer. It clears up a lot of things. In the mean time I've found some different formulas and models, for visco-elastic approach of creep (I believe it's called Burger's model) and is as follows:
strain (t)= stress * (((sin (m*pi))/m*pi)/E0) * t exp m
where m is a...
Has anybody here experience with creep of concrete? I'm investigating this behaviour in terms of microns.
Any book or reference would also be helpful.
thnx
This means that a material may rupture, although the applied constant stress is far below the allowable stress?
Can you give me a web-page, or book/publication were I can find these curves?
Has any material creep, concrete, steel etc.?
