The National Committee on Applied Mechanics of Engineers Australia is hosting the 6th Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics (ACAM 6) in Perth, Australia on December 12th-15th 2010.

ACAM 6 (http://www.acam6.org/) aims to provide an international forum for researchers, industry practitioners, engineers and postgraduate scholars to promote, exchange and disseminate knowledge and experiences of the most recent results and advances in a wide range of topics in Applied Mechanics.

Three year OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship in computational nanotechnology

Submitted by Ashfaq Adnan on
job

Applications are invited for a three year OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship in computational nanotechnology, working with scientists from the Virtual Nanoscience Laboratory in the CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering division at Clayton, in Australia. The successful applicant will work be involved in predicting the material properties for optimal nanodiamond-based drug delivery systems, in collaboration with a multi-national interdisciplinary team.



Problem physics- shallow truss element-Non linear FEM

Submitted by bruno-page on

I have got a shallow truss element-same as in Crisfield’s book.

I have a truss configuration as in the attached file (simple 1 member as in Crisfield as Bathe) . I have a load W = 42 units applied (the force causes compression in the member).I have used incremental approach wherein the laod is applied in 6 increments of 7 units each.

Hi everybody

    At present, I am studying for master's degree for geotechnical engineering.  I am

interest in subroutine umat for ABAQUS very much. Especially, subroutine umat

drained and undrained condition.  I wish you, who has them or know a website to

download them. I wish you to send subroutine umat drained and undrained

Postdoctoral position at MIT on inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling

Submitted by demkowicz on
job

One postdoctoral position is currently available for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations—preferably atomistic methods—to develop approaches for solving inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling (i.e. determining what atomic-level structures and compositions yield desired macroscale properties, rather than predicting macroscale properties given atomic-level information). These methods will be applied to the design of radiation resistant nanocomposites in collaboration with an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Los Alamos NL.

HIGHER ORDER SHELL THEORIES

 

Hello,

 

Recently I faced two questions in course that I am attending:

 

1) Outline the salient features of different higher order shell theories.

 

2)Explain why some shell theories are not suitable as the basis of element formulation.

 

3) Discuss any limitations of elements being used in relation to their underlying formulation ( e.g use of shallow shell theory or cylindrical shell theory).
