Call for Papers on Abaqus FEA for 2011 SIMULIA Customer Conference
The 2011 SIMULIA Customer Conference (SCC) will be held May 16-19, 2011 in beautiful Barcelona, Spain. A city filled with world famous museums, historical sites, shopping, entertainment, and culinary delights.
We are pleased to invite you to join your colleagues and share your Abaqus FEA experience by submitting an abstract by November 8, 2010.
Abstracts are also being accepted for papers detailing the use of Isight for simulation process automation and design optimization.
Spectrum(PSD) analysis of composite structures in ANSYS
Forums
Hi,
I am trying to perform PSD analysis of a composite structure in ANSYS software. I wonder that is a failure criteria such as Tsai-Wu available in this analysis type. In ANSYS Help writes that
Validation and benchmarking problems for 3D fluid simulation with free boundaries

I have a hard time finding problem sets for validation and
benchmarking of methods and codes for 3d fluid simulation with free
boundaries. Please guide me to (standardized) problem sets or key
litterture that is a suitable starting point. If there are not many
standardized tests I would like to initiate a dsicussion about what a
good test collection should be. I understand that iMechanica is focused
more on solid mechanics than fluid dynamics but the overlap is big.
The Nobel, Graphene and 20% Google
Only after learning that 2010 nobelists AK Geim and Novoselov* got the
inspiration for Graphene during a 20% time break from "ongoing"
lab research. Did I realize how important is to have a "scheduled" free mind
and open Lab environment.
Does your lab practice "crazy friday" experiments jam sessions like Dr. Geim Lab in Manchester?

Most prestigious engineering award
Physics, chemistry, and medicine have Nobel prizes. Mathematicians have fields medal. What do you think is the most prestigious engineering prize? Do we have any Nobel equivalent?
Fracture of electrodes in lithium-ion batteries caused by fast charging
During charging or discharging of a lithium-ion battery, lithium is extracted from one electrode and inserted into the other. This extraction-insertion reaction causes the electrodes to deform. An electrode is often composed of small active particles in a matrix. If the battery is charged at a rate faster than lithium can homogenize in an active particle by diffusion, the inhomogeneous distribution of lithium results in stresses that may cause the particle to fracture. The distributions of lithium and stress in a LiCoO2 particle are calculated. The e
Faculty Positions at the University of Illinois
The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. We especially seek candidates whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of energy, manufacturing, and biomedicine. However, the innovative nature of the candidate’s research and the candidate’s potential for leadership are more important than specific research area.
