The Center for Advanced Materials (CAM) at the British University in Egypt (BUE) has an opening for full time Research Associate to fill immediately. BUE is located in El-Shorouk City, 30 km east of Cairo and provides a UK work environment. Information about BUE and CAM can be found at www.bue.edu.eg and cam.bue.edu.eg.

Description: To work on aproject related to modeling of composite materials and structures. The project focuses on micromechanics, multifunctional constituents and finite element implementation of developed models.

All,



Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.



Best regards



Lee

Hi There

I have analysed a composite part with ansys with solid46 element . I need to show layered stress in each layer for example stress in fiber or stress in epoxy. how can do that ?

please help me

We are currently seeking a PhD student to pursue research project within the Roberval Laboratory at Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France. The position is available in the scope of the OASIS project "Optimization of Addendum Surfaces In Stamping" involving several French academia and industrial partners.

The overall goal of the project is to propose methodologies to optimize the process parameters for service properties of high elastic steel parts, while taking into account the residual stresses due to the stamping process. 

Can anyone have idea how to find interlaminar stress using Ansys Software . Please provide some suggestion if anyone have gone through it thanks
