Catastrophic thinning of dielectric elastomers

Submitted by peppezurlo on

Consider a thin dielectric plate with conducting faces: when will it break if a voltage is applied? If it is rigid it will break once its dielectric strength is overcome by the voltage. But what if it is highly stretchable, like the elastomers used for soft actuators, stretchable electronics, or energy harvesters? The precise answer to that question is not known. 

A novel class of highly efficient and accurate time-integrators in nonlinear computational mechanics

Submitted by Xuechuan Wang on

A new class of time-integrators is presented for strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. These algorithms are far superior to the currently common time integrators in computational efficiency and accuracy. These three algorithms are based on a local variational iteration method applied over a finite interval of time.

Postdoctoral position in mesoscale plasticity

Submitted by AnterEl-Azab on

The School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the area of Computational Mesoscale Plasticity. The successful candidate will model plasticity of single crystals using continuum dislocation dynamics and perform computational solution using finite element method. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in computational materials science and/or computational mechanics, good background in elasticity and plasticity theory, and knowledge of dislocation dynamics.
