Opening for two new Ph.D. students in the Design & Uncertainty Quantification group, Mechanical Engineering Department, The University of Iowa.

The Design & Uncertainty Quantification group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor Sharif Rahman, is looking for two new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on solid mechanics, uncertainty quantification, and design optimization. The research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation, requires building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools, all associated with stochastic analysis and design of complex materials and structures.

Modal analysis of lead-bismuth eutectic flow in a single wire-wrapped rod channel

The thermal-hydraulics as well as flow-induced vibration of wire-wrapped rod bundles calls for accurate and efficient liquid metal flow simulation and prediction, yet it remains a challenge due to the complex geometries and high Reynolds number flow in wire-wrapped rod channel. Previous efforts towards this goal exclusively adopts full-order modeling (FOM), which is prohibitively computation-intensive.

Dynamic Versus Quasi-Static Analysis of Crack Propagation in Soft Materials

Cracks usually propagate dynamically that makes them so dangerous. However, most crack simulations are based on quasi-static analyses because they are simpler than the dynamic ones. Is it correct to use quasi-static analyses instead of the dynamic ones? Will the quasi-static and dynamic simulations provide similar results? We try to answer these questions in the present work. We compare results of quasi-static and dynamic simulations of crack propagation in aneurysm material.

Drag reduction via polymer solute: 3D numerical simulations of pipe flow

The mechanism of drag reduction via polymer additives is long debated in the literature. We present results of 3D numerical simulations of the realistic pipe flow where material instabilities develop into turbulence. We observe in the simulations that the addition of the polymer solute suppresses the chaotic turbulent motion, indeed, in accordance with the experimental observations of the phenomenon.

On the Effective Dynamic Mass of Mechanical Lattices with Microstructure

We present a general formalism for the analysis of mechanical lattices with microstructure using the concept of effective dynamic mass. We first revisit a classical case of microstructure being modeled by a  spring-interconnected mass-in-mass cell. The frequency-dependent effective dynamic mass of the cell is the sum of a static mass and of an added mass, in analogy to that of a swimmer in a fluid. The effective dynamic mass is derived using three different methods: momentum equivalence, dynamic condensation, and action equivalence.
