Introduction
Happy Halloween!
In this issue of the Journal Club, I would like to introduce the problem of catalyzed growth of semiconductor nanowires and ways to model it. I would provide web links to only a few articles, hoping that you would download and actually read them so that we can have a more in-depth discussion.
Hello to everybody,
I am trying to simulate the orthogonal cutting of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite using Abaqus v6.13 software. In my 2D model, Fiber and Matrix are represented as different phases. Damage models for fiber and matrix are implemented.
I have tried to use two different approaches:
Are the viscous hydrodynamic forces and the nonlinear viscous hydrodynamic forces applied on offshore platform in the ocean？The platform is fixed.
Dear Colleagues,
Prof. Ole Sigmund from the Technical University at Denmark: http://www.topopt.dtu.dk/ was the presenter of the 2014-2015 Newmark Distingusihed Lecture which was given in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. His presentation was titled: Topology Optimization: State of the art and future perspectives. You may find a link to the video lecture here
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University invites applications from outstanding individuals for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the broad disciplinary area of dynamics.
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), invites applications and nominations for a faculty position, at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of structural engineering. Salary is nationally competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Review of applications will begin soon after their receipt and will continue until the position is filled. Topics of specialization will be broadly considered across the structural engineering discipline.
Dear Colleagues
I would like to make you aware of a computational solid mechanics minisymposium being organized for the 2015 EMI conference at Stanford University, June 16-19, 2015: http://www.emi2015.info/minisymposia/symposia#MS41.
