Is it possible to produce a small scale prototype to support the experimental work? If it is made a small scale sample,is it possible to simulate the required impact force or crash force to real size condition? what is the desired equation in simulating the impact condition?
An intensive metal plasticity/viscoplasticity literature review is needed, with drawbacks and capabilities of different models. Any found previous work?
I'm working on modeling of mechanical properties of polymer based nanocomposites with clay.I have prepared a code for distributing plat like particles in polimar matrix (preparing RVE) with ABAQUS. I saw DIGIMAT software by www.e-xstream.com Company in internet some times ago. Now I want to test accuracy and application of this software one my project. I want to know if anyone in this club has had worked with this software and so if any one can provide me with a link of academic version of this software for a while.
There is a potential opening for a graduate student research assistantship in Department of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Interested students with strong academic background with interest in theory and experiments in the areas of dynamics and vibrations, applied (solid) mechanics are encouraged to apply. Initial queries to be addressed to Srikanth (spa21 [at] bath.ac.uk (spa21[at]bath[dot]ac[dot]uk)).
Several postdoctoral and PhD research positions are currently open in the Advanced Computational Technology (ACT) group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects in the multidisciplinary areas of computational nanomechanics, bio-nanotechnology, renewable energy, and nanomedicine:
I am currently simulation arc welding process. i have performed plate butt welding using abaqus software. Dflux subroutine was used and the heat source model i used is goldak double ellipsoidal model.
Now i want to apply this technique to the welding of pipes, but currently i am having difficulty with the nodal coordinates. I have defined my glodal CS to cylindrical coordinate system in part and assembly defintion. But after generating the mesh the input file contain nodal coordinates in cartesian coordinates.
