Dear Colleague,

The 21st Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM21) will be held at the Conference Centre of the City Campus, Victoria University, Melbourne, 7-10 December 2010. The conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to advertise an opening of a lectureship in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford
The lectureship is in the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics part of the Mathematical Institute . I am particularly interested in candidates at the interface between mathematics and mechanics.
(Note that a lectureship at Oxford is a permanent Faculty appointment more or less equivalent to an assistant, or associate level in the US).

Please pass the information to anybody who may be interested.

Dear all

 I am doing my dissertation on laser forming of 304 stainless steel. as part of my dissertation I need to model the proces by Ansys. I need the to know how the properties such as density, thermal expansion etc change with temperature.

does anyone knows from where I can found such information please?

Thanks for your help

The Global Enterprise for Micro Mechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4, www.gem4.org) and the Research Centre of Excellence (RCE) in Mechanobiology will be organizing a Summer School on Cellular and Molecular Mechanics with a focus on Mechanobiology. The 2010 GEM4 Summer School will be held from July 25 - 31, 2010 at the National University of Singapore. This 2010 Summer School will comprise both lectures and lab demonstrations.

As we all know, finite element matrices are sparse and many memory can be saved if their sparsity is exploited. Due to the latter, we are often provoked to declare the nxn stiffness matrix as a sparse one just before the element loop. Be careful of this method since the larger the matrix the slower the assembly operations. There is a better and more efficient way to code the assembly procedure in Matlab. I will show how to accomplish this.

hello to every body ;)

  Iam hasani- gradute student

I'm new user in adina. i worked by ansys and abaqus for several projects.

in adina  when i choose control>solution process...>adaptive meshing> full the program return it to none!.

i tried to understand about the reason. but in fact i can not find the problem.

i think in program , there are some constraints that should be change before the full adaptive meshing.

please help to find the problem. thanks

Having achieved many goals in my career of computational methods in structural mechanics, structure engineering, finite element method and computational simulation of structural construction process, I am interested in widening my professional horizons by seeking new challenges. I am looking for a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics and structural engineering.

Dear all,

Can anyone help me to define water materials in Ansys ls dyna to simulate impact of water on materials

Best regards,

Hi all

 I want to derive a load-displacement curve for a compoaite laminate shell which is subjected to a uniform displacement field in ABAQUS. The problem is somehow similar to example 1.1.14.

I have derived the data for Reaction force of each node and also for the Us. The curve for the maximum node is plotted but the data are half of the values reported in Example 1.1.14. I don't know what's wrong with it. Please help me with this problem.

Hello,

I am looking for PhD position in Vibration specially in German Universities so please if you have any idea just get back to me.

I am presently working in Pune, INDIA
I have near about 2.6 years of Industrial Work experience in CAE using ANSYS, ABAQUS, HyperMEsh FEA tool.

I have done my M.Tech in Machanical Engineering Design from Nagpur, INDIA.

Now I would like to do PhD in Mechanical Vibration which is my field of interest and I also have experience in this domain.

ScienceWatch.com (affiliated with Thomson-Reuters), has ranked University of Illinois as the most cited institution in engineering from 1999 to 2009 (http://sciencewatch.com/inter/ins/10/10febTOP20ENG/).  It is followed by Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, University of Michigan, and Georgia Tech.
 
For each institution, ScienceWatch.com has also listed a few research directions that have received most citations.  The mechanics work by Professors Yonggang Huang (University of Illinois), Huajian Gao (Brown University), Bill Nix (Stanford) and Hutchinson (Harvard) on Mechanism-based strain (gradient) plasticity leads the list from the University of Illinois.

Early bird registraion is open for the 2010  SCC which will be held May 25 - May 27, 2010 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, RI, just a short distance from SIMULIA's world headquarters.

There will be more than 80 customer presentations over the course of the 2 1/2 day conference. Advanced Seminars are offered on Monday May 24.

All users of SIMULIA products including Abaqus FEA, Isight, Fiper, and SIMULIA SLM invited to register for the conference.

SIMULIA Academic programs would like to offer you a complimentary copy of our Abaqus SE (student edition). Now students can have their own personal finite element analysis tool to use on or away from campus. Abaqus Student edition is ideal for students using Abaqus as part of their coursework as well as for practicing engineers who wish to become more proficient with Abaqus.

Does anyone know how to switch failure criteria from mises to tresca in ABAQUS/Standard?

hi all,

my name is christian, i'm a master degree student in mechanical engineering. i've been doing a swaging  process simulation using MSC.MARC, but i have a problem.when i ran the simulation, there were some node or element that penetrated into the other element and/or rigid body. i tried to change the value of contact tolerance and mesh, but i got the same result (pentrated still happened). what should i do to solve this problem?should i use mesh adaptivity? please help me ^^
