Altair OptiStruct is a general finite element analysis code with comprehensive analysis solutions for linear and nonlinear static and transient analysis, buckling, eigenvalue analysis, NVH (noise and vibration), Component Modal Synthesis (CMS), thermal analysis and fatigue. It is the world leading structural optimization solution. OptiStruct serves over two thousand companies worldwide for analysis and simulation-driven design.
Applications are invited for a 2.5-year postdoctoral position at Aarhus University, Denmark. The focus of the project will be on shape optimization of cutting edge for improving milling process of stainless steel. This research opportunity broadly involves the development of physics-based computational approaches and systematic simulations for understanding the micromechanics of material removal from metallic surfaces. This project is part of a big Grand Solution industrial project, which is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark.

I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show that kinematic hardening effects play a significant role in monotonic/static fracture.

In this manuscript with Lev Truskinovsky, we developed a new nonlinear theory of large-strain incompatible surface growth. Surface growth is a crucial component of many natural and artificial processes from cell proliferation to additive manufacturing. In elastic systems, surface growth is usually accompanied by the development of geometrical incompatibility leading to residual stresses and triggering various instabilities. Here we developed a nonlinear theory of incompatible surface growth which quantitatively linkes deposition protocols with post-growth states of stress.

Damage Mechanic Challenge
The purpose of the conference is to gather computational scientist and experimentalist to define and launch a numerical challenge to predict damage evolution and signatures of failure in brittle material. At the workshop, participants are invited to
(1) present their computational approach for numerical simulation of damage;
In this progress report, we reviewed recent advances in strategies for applying mechanical strain into 2D materials and recent state‐of‐the‐art characterizations of interface mechanics for 2D material–substrate systems.
