Call for Papers

Hi

I am looking for a 12-15 months post-doctoral fellow to work on crystal plasticity finite element simulation of impacts. This project is parts of a larger collaborative project with Pratt and Whitney, Bell Helicopter, L3 and Héroux Devtek aiming at understanding the effects of shot peening on fatigue life. The project involves 3 other post-doctoral fellows and 4 PhD students.

The starting date is flexible and could be as soon as now, depending on the candidates expertise.

The interested candidates are invited to send me their CV and publication lists.

I know the mechanics community have many codes to share. If you have developed engineering software including legacy Windows codes or linux codes, you can easily publish your code in the cloud and have it run on any devices including smart phones through cdmHUB.org. The codes could be simple codes you wrote for your dissertation or comprehensive commerical package like ABAQUS or ANSYS. You don't have to change your code, no source codes are needed. All you need to do is to upload your executable through a very straight forward way which only takes a few minutes.

"We see from the above that the virtual work statement is precisely the weak form of equilibrium equations and is valid for non-linear as well as linear stress-strain (or stress-strain rate) relations." --- written by O.C. Zienkiewicz etc. at Page 71 of <The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals  Sixth edition>

Here is my question: Will the virtual work still be valid for the case of non-linear strain-displacement relations (finite deformation)?
