bform

Paper and data management web application for plastic forming

This project is related to my thesis in SJTU SMSE (School of Material Science and Engineering). It is used to collect and index papers related with plastic forming, especially forming limit theory and diagram. Further more, model and experiment data can be attached to related paper, you can play with the model if you have added runnable code. For researchers who use FEM a lot, you can run simulation on server to validate theories from papers, though it might requires a lot of config for the first time, but once you have it up and running, you no longer need to keep your laptop open.

Develop

In order to simplify travis ci settings, the project has three repos.

• API is in bform-api
• Backend is in this repo
• Frontend is in bform-web

Features

• Paper store, index and share.
• Attach model to paper, ie: R Hill 1948, Swift
• Attach experiment data to paper
• Export, import model and data
• Visualization for theory development
• Run MatLab and Cpp code on server and show graph in browser
• Run pre-configured FEM using Dynaform, Abaquas etc on server, and show/download result.
