Call of interest - Post-doc position at IMT Lucca on computational mechanics for photovoltaic applications

Submitted by marco.paggi on
This is a call of interest for a post-doc position (1 year renewable up to 3 years) at the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy (www.imtlucca.it), in the field of computational damage and fracture mechanics. The activities are in the framework of the ERC Starting Grant IDEAS "Multi-field and multi-scale Computational Approach to design and durability of Photovoltaic Modules" (Prof. Paggi, Principal Investigator).

CABLE BENDING ANALYSIS THOUGH FEA

Submitted by Alain Cardou on

Single strand cable (spiral) bending and OEC (Overhead Electrical Conductor) bending are somewhat similar problems. This is the reason why the following new paper is noteworthy within the context of this blog. It emanates from a Slovak team: S. Kmet, E. Stanova, G. Fedorko, M. Fabian, J. Brodniansky. Title : “Experimental investigation and finite element analysis of a four-layered spiral strand bent over a curved support”. Published in “Engineering Structures”, Vol. 57, December 2013, pp. 475-483.

load effect in ansys

Submitted by engmohsen on

hi everyone;

we know that axial load effect on dynamic responses of structur ( for example comparsion axial load decreas frequencies) and Modal analysis does not depend on load too.

i want to obtain dynamic responses for simply supported beam under axial load. How do modal analysis in the presence of axial load in ansys (How apply effect of axial load)???

plz help me

A numerical study of elastic bodies that are described by constitutive equations that exhibit limited strains

Submitted by Alejandro Orti… on

Recently, a very general and novel class of implicit bodies has been developed to describe the elastic response of solids. It contains as a special subclass the classical Cauchy and Green elastic bodies. Within the class of such bodies, one can obtain through a rigorous approximation, constitutive relations for the linearized strain as a nonlinear function of the stress. Such an approximation is not possible within classical theories of Cauchy and Green elasticity, where the process of linearization will only lead to the classical linearized elastic body.
