Dear all,

Can anyone tell what kind of value of power i need to use for a PU glue? At the moment i am using the Benzeggagh-Kenane (BK) criteria.

Or will it be better to use the power-law mixed mode criteria for a glued in rod in timber?

I look forward to receiving your answer,

Ronald

 INSAVALOR, the subsidiary of industrial development and further education of INSA Lyon and further education service of Grenoble INP offer throughout the year a high-level seminars based on the results of research laboratories schools.

These seminars in English or/and in French (with a duration of 2 to 4 days) are designed for global companies that wish to promote the development of skills of their executives, experts, specialists, researchers. 

Public Profile

Mini-Symposium on "Developments in Finite Element and Meshless Formulations Applied to Metal Forming Problems" (MS124), within the ECCOMAS 2012 International Conference, September 10-14, Vienna, Austria 

Mini-Symposium description

Numerical simulation analyses of metal forming processes involve a high level of complexity, from both fundamental and industrial application standpoints, requiring robust and comprehensive technology in order to achieve realistic solutions.

At Oxford University we are seeking to appoint a post doctoral Research Assistant to work on the modelling of cavity nucleation and growth in the heat affected zone of a welded component operating in the creep regime. A detailed advertisement and further particulars about the post can be found in the attached files.

Further Information can be obtained from Prof Alan Cocks - alan.cocks [at] eng.ox.ac.uk

Hi all,

I am using FEAP 8.2 in my university, and have to write a user material routine, but there is no clear guideline/example about which files to modify for this purpose. Sorry to say, the programmer's manual is very short, and very little detail is there.

The old tutorials/examples based on FEAP (7.x) are no longer helpful because the FEAP 8.2, 8.3 source code has changed considerably (atlease the files in user folder), hence the novice can get mad after trying for many weeks to figure out the way for doing this.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear
Colleagues:

We
would like to invite you to submit abstract(s) to the Applied Mechanics and
Materials symposium (Track 10-21) at the upcoming 2012 ASME International
Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition to be held Nov 9-15,
2012, at Houston Texas.

Prospective authors should submit a 400-word abstract via
the web tool at the Congress 2012 website

Dear Colleagues,



A summer school on Nonsmooth Contact and Impact Mechanics is organized from September 10 to 14 at Aussois in the French Alpes. The main focus of the school will be on modeling and numerical/simulation  aspects,  and the following topics will be covered:



Algorithms for contact detection in time-stepping numerical methods

Convergence of time-stepping methods

Multiple impacts in multibody systems

Painlevé paradoxes

Waves in chains of balls

Simulating large fiber assemblies such as hair
