Flow Stress Curves for 51CrMoV4 material at varying temperature and strain rates
Hie,
1] I am Krunal, currently pursuing my masters for University of Sheffield, wherein for my thesis I require to simulate the forging process for commercial vehicle Anti-roll bars using MSC MARC software.
2] I require the flow stress curves for the material 51CrMoV4 at varying temperatures ( approx 850 - 1400 deg celcius ) and varying strain rates ( approx 0.01 to 50 per second). However I am unable to find it....!!
Summer Position in Washington DC - Conversion of Database Assisted Design (DAD) Code to C++
All,
I am seeking a student for the summer (May-August) to begin working on the conversion of an existing MATLAB-based code for the Database Assisted Design (DAD) of tall steel buildings under wind loads to C++. Obviously, the only prerequisite is proficiency in both C++ and MATLAB. A background in wind engineering is not needed as you will learn along the way.

Using indentation to characterize the poroelasticity of gels
When an indenter is pressed into a gel to a fixed depth, the solvent in the gel migrates, and the force on the indenter relaxes. Within the theory of poroelasticity, the force relaxation curves for indenters of several types are obtained in a simple form, enabling indentation to be used with ease as a method for determining the elastic constants and permeability of the gel. The method is demonstrated with a conical indenter on an alginate hydrogel.
Finite Volume Method and Large deformations
Forums
Hi,
I'm still quite new to mechanics. Would someone please tell me how the finite volume method copes with large deformations?
BTW, is the finite volume method a type of finite element method?
Thanks,
- Olumide
