Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for a potential postdoctoral fellow of any nationality to work at Microsolidics Group, IIT Guwahati in the area of micromechanics and homogenization of fibrous composites/ multiscale modeling of composites.
There is a funding opportunity from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India limited to 2 years which is received by the candidate directly. The advertisement link is here.
Deadline: 08.10.2023, 17:00 hrs IST
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention as well as share an excellent standing-out example of an outcome of decades of focused academic research as commercial software which finds usage in several industries such as biomedical, electrical, aerospace, civil, mechanical, manufacturing, biological, and agriculture.
Have you ever wondered that you can visually see the stress patterns live in a loaded structure! I am not speaking about the contours that you see in commercial finite element software #fea .
For e.g. see the colorful image attached. The fringe patterns are the live stress field around a crack in a loaded structure.
Find more answers on how to interpret these images using state of the art image processing technology in the newly published book:
For simplicity in understanding Perioidic BC in ABAQUS, I am trying to implement in a single element elastic model.
Material is elastic. There are two reference points defined Refpoint 1 for x-direction pull and Refpoint 2 for y-direction pull. Please find the attached picture for clarity in the model.
I have defined the equations for PBC in ABAQUS as below:
x1-x2+Refpoint1=0
y1-y2+Refpoint1=0
x3-x4+Refpoint1=0
y3-y4+Refpoint1=0
x2-x3+Refpoint2=0
y2-y3+Refpoint2=0
