Modelling and Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes (EUROMECH Colloquium 587)
9-11 May, 2016, University of Aveiro, Portugal (pre-announcement)
Aims and Scope
Dear Colleagues,
Following the last successful events in the past years, the next ESAFORM
Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2013) will represent the 16th
edition of one of the most important and well-established international
research meetings on the material forming field. The conference will be held
at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 22 to 24 of April, 2013.
Mini-Symposium on "Developments in Finite Element and Meshless Formulations Applied to Metal Forming Problems" (MS124), within the ECCOMAS 2012 International Conference, September 10-14, Vienna, Austria
Mini-Symposium description
Numerical simulation analyses of metal forming processes involve a high level of complexity, from both fundamental and industrial application standpoints, requiring robust and comprehensive technology in order to achieve realistic solutions.
Date: August 29 - September 2, 2011
Venue: Dept. Mechanical Engineering, University of Aveiro, Portugal

Scope
We are looking for suitable candidates for a PhD research work in Computational Mechanics and numerical simulation, to be carried out at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Aveiro, Portugal, in one of the following areas:
- development of new finite elements for metal forming applications;
- numerical simulation of metal forming (sheet and bulk forming);
- tubular hydroforming numerical simulation;
- structural stability and buckling analysis of reinforced aircraft panels;
