Seeking US citizen MS/PhD applicants with computational mechanics background
Hello - trying AGAIN to get this to post. I'm seeking applicants with computational mechanics background for new work in security applications. Areas include blast, failure, acoustics, and related fields. Security requirements dictate that we must have US citizens for this work - sorry, I know that's restrictive. Please feel free to email me at cipolla [at] wai.com (cipolla[at]wai[dot]com) for inquiries and details.
Max penetration error in ABAQUS
Forums
I am doing contact simulation of soft material. I want to change the default criterion for max penetration error, but can't seem to find how to do it. I tried contact controls relative and absolute penetration tolerances, hcrit but that did not affect the error criterion. Can someone help me please?
I want some informations about computational mechanics as i want to do my master's in this field
Hello Everyone,
I am Md. Zahidul Mustakim from Bangladesh. I have graduated in Mechanical Engineering and I want to pursue my Master's Study in the field of Computational Engineering/Mechanics. As i was not familiar with this field in my undergrad study I really dont know much about this subject. I would be really grateful if You please send me some informations about the points mentioned bellow:
1. Is computational Engineering same as Numerical Simulation?
How should one compare material fatigue strength in thin film area?
For several common electroplated materials: Ni, Cu, Au and Al, which one has strongest fatigue strength? We know the mechanical properties of thin films are different with their bulk counterparts due to the so called "size effect", and material properties depends largely on the microstructure and processing technique. But is there some mateiral laws or guidelines for designers to choose the "best material" as for fatigue resistant? Yield limit? ultimate tensile strength? or elongation? How could one compare material candidates without doing time-consuming test?
What are the criteria for the decomposition of the total strain into elastic and plastic parts?

We know that total strain is the symmetric part of the displacement gradient. Total strain can be represented by the sum of the elastic and plastic (eigen) strains. Let consider a dislocation in an arbitrary solid. Suppose we computed the displacement filed, therefore the total strain can be obtained immediately. What are the criteria for the decomposition of the total strain into elastic and plastic parts?

Nice and low-cost introductory texts
There are two very nice companion texts on continuum mechanics and nonlinear elasticity printed by Dover recently: "Continuum mechanics" by Spencer and "An introduction to the theory of elasticity" by Atkin and Fox. Great and fairly affordable reading!
reflection boundary condition
I am planning on using finite difference coding to solve a wave equation. The domain is a rectangular domian with wave reflection on the boundaries. Does anyone know how to set the reflection boundary condition?
