Hook up to this live online presentation with interactive capability and you’ll
be rewarded with a comprehensive course, including:

Hi there,

I am new to Finite element method. I would like to know if their are any books for implants, bones and their interaction.

Thank you for your consideration.

We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of computational mechanics. Specific problems of interest include molecular dynamics and meshless method for continuum damage mechanics. Rich experience of C++, X-windows image processing, and Fortran programming (especially parallel processing) is required.   Contact: Professor Jung-Wuk Hong at Michigan State University.  Email: jwh at egr dot msu dot edu.

The 20th International Workshop on Computational Mechanics of Materials (IWCMM 2010) will be held on 8-10 September 2010 at Loughborough University, UK. Selected papers will be published in a Special Issue of Computational Materials Science by Elsevier.

For details see iwcmm.lboro.ac.uk .

Topics:

Any one can tell about the modelling of viscoelastic materials in ANSYS. In the modeeling how material properties can be given. Like I have material data in the form of Prony series parameter. If sone is having relaxation data how can that be fed to ANSYS model?

Hi Dear IMechanica User

I have faced up a problem during micro-scale cutting using abrasives. I am trying to model this process using Abaqus/explicit and with remeshing module. but currently there doesnt exist any remeshing technique in abaqus/explicit. Could you please suggest the way for doing this simulation by using remeshing technique in Abaqus/explicit. Abaqus/standard is not helpfull to model cutting simulation. this is because i am using Abaqus/explicit by the way.

I am awaiting your valuable suggestions and helpfull informations.

Hello everyone!

 I'm interested in branching of Mode II propagating crack, mostly in high Cr steels, but any info may be useful and interesting. Does it tend to branch? What are the criteria? Velocity? Angle of branching?

Thanks,

Marina
