Title: Structural FEA Intern
Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Location: Sugar Land, TX, USA
Starting Date: 01/01/2011
Raiway axle failures have been the starting point for the studies on fatigue. However, recent accidents and papers (see [1] by Hoddinott) have shown that corrosion-fatigue plays a significant role.
At PoliMi we have recently investigated this topic finding interesting results by corrosion-fatigue tests on small-scale specimens and, recently, a validation of the model by full-scale corrosion-fatigue tests (see papers [2-3]).
A postdoc position is available next January at Research Center for Applied Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan on the molecular simulation of the water/graphene interface.
For those who are interested, please contact Chun-Wei Pao (cwpao [at] gate.sinica.edu.tw) or Jer-Lai Kuo (jlkuo [at] pubs.iams.sinica.edu.tw).

Hi guys,
i am doing crack propagation analysis using XFEM. My model is working fine. i want to know how one can determine the length of the propagated crack against time increment. Is there any built in histroy out put variable with which one can calculate the length of the propagated crack using histroy output or is there any other way for example using pyton scripting. would be my pleasure to hear valuable comments from you guys.
Alex
