Monsieur Pineau, as I remember him

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Andre Pineau in Paris yesterday. I happened to be one of ~100 PhD students he graduated over the course of his career.

Gordon Conference on Adhesion - Late July 2023

The Gordon Research Conference on the Science of Adhesion is this summer (23-28 July 2023).  The meeting will be held on the campus of Mount Holyoke College in western Massachusetts and will have more than 20 invited talks from world leaders in the fields of adhesion, soft matter, and materials. This is a great meeting for students and early career researchers to get connected to the community. Poster presentations are strongly encouraged from all participants, and poster abstracts can still be submitted.

Predicting high cycle and ultrasonic vibration fatigue with unified mechanics theory

The unified mechanics theory (UMT) is ab-initio unification of the second law of thermodynamics and Newton's universal laws of motion, in which Boltzmann's second law of entropy formulation governs dissipation & degradation. Hence, the unified mechanics theory does not require any empirical dissipation & degradation potential function or an empirical void evolution function. Material degradation is quantified on the Thermodynamic state index (TSI) axis based on the specific entropy production, which starts at zero and asymptotically approaches one at failure.

Post-doc 18 months - highly competitive European Space Agency - EMTD Lab post-doc position - Interdisciplinary Centre for Security and Trust

Dear Colleagues We are looking for a post-doctoral level researcher for a 18 month project in collaboration with a startup company EMTD lab and the European Space Agency. The work to be done is related to radiation shielding and fatigue fracture. We are looking for people with a background in polycrystalline fracture, phase field/enriched finite element methods and multi-scale methods. Knowledge of metallurgy and crystallography would be welcome. Due to confidentiality, we cannot divulge more information at this stage.

Phase field modelling in octave

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi I tried to code a basic phase field model for fracture in octave.

It doesn't seem to converge to the correct load. It fails later.

Also mesh refinement did not improve the results.

The link to the GIT is here

https://github.com/dontcallmesuren/Phase-field-modelling.git

 

Any idea where I am wrong?

Ping me. Thanks in advance.
