Multiscale simulation in particular quasi-continuum or bridging domain methods and fracture

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on

We are interested in making contact with self-motivated candidates with significant experience in multiscale simulation, if possible with a Physics or Mathematics background for projects involving the simulation of multiscale fracture. Researchers with experience in ab initio models are particularly encouraged to make contact.

Please contact stephane dot bordas at gmail dot COM for more detail.

 Thank you

FEM simulation on damage of brittle materials with Abaqus on mesoscale

Submitted by yoyo Li on

Hi,

I'm a fresher in abaqus. Now I'm trying to simulate the damage of brittle kind of materials, like concrete with abaqus on mesoscale. But there are some problems now...

The random meso-structure has already been generated by matlab, but I don't know how to import the information of the geometry which are some coordinates? I find the file formats which could be read by abaqus, like Autocad .dxf,.step...but I'm not sure how to do it exactly since geometry information are in terms of coodinates in matlab.

Wanted: Fast FEA Solvers...

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

Summary:



I am thinking of informally conducting a specific case-study concerning the FEA solvers. The reference problem is a very simple but typical problem from stress analysis, leading of course to the linear systems: Ax = b and Ax = Lx.



I seek advice as to what software libraries currently available in the public domain would be best to use---the ones that would be fastest in terms of execution time for the reference problem.

Dear all,

I have read the paper titled Haversian cortical bone model with many radial microcraks: An elastic analytic solution. My problems and the paper are attached.I hope you can see the problems and the corresponding paper. Thanks for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Mechanics

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Duke Computational Mechanics Laboratory, beginning in September of 2010 (with flexibility on timing).  Funding for the fellowship concerns research in the simulation of dynamic fracture of polycarbonate.  The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following areas (in no particular order of importance):
