The provisional program for WOM 2013 (14-18 April 2013) is now available at www.wearofmaterialsconference.com
Special tutorial session: Fundamentals of Wear and Wear Testing
Taught by invited experts led by Professor Ian Hutchings, this popular half-day overview will be held on Sunday afternoon before the conference. For more information, go to http://www.wearofmaterialsconference.com/tutorial-session.html
A new scientific journal, Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems (MEMOCS) [http://msp.org/memocs/], has been launched this winter. You may view the first edition at http://msp.org/memocs/2013/1-1/index.xhtml. MEMOCS is a very unique publication in several ways: a
nonprofit publication owned, managed, and supported by academic
institutions from countries all over the world. Because it is supported
by these sponsoring institutions, subscription fees and page charges are
not necessary, and electronic access to the publication is open
and free to all. Accepted manuscripts are published free of charge
R&D Engineer: Design optimization of piezo-composite transducers using Level Set Method
Reference : AMS/MODSI-12/027 -- 2 years -- Luxembourg
Mission :
Within our on-going research programmes:
• You collaborate in the framework of a global research project based on the design optimization of piezo-composite transducers using eXtended Finite Element Method and Level Set method;
• You define a numerical schema for modelling of distributed transducers using eXtended Finite Element and Level Set Methods;
I am solving a simple solid mechanics problem by meshless method. use RPIM to calculate shape function.
when i calculate the derivatives of shape function, i found the derivative is not close to zero at the compute point, when the point is on the boundry of problem domain. and good derivative result can be got if the compute point is in problem domain.
is there anybody has experience in working with RPIM shape function help me to fix the problem?
If your research activites are related to modeling the dynamic behaviour of materials then you may consider participating in minisymposium 4.10 at
12th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics
Raleigh, NC (July 22-25, 2013)
See attachment for details. The deadline for submitting an abstract is February 28, 2013.
Hi All
Hope all are doing well. Suppose I have a specimen and I want to find out the Johnson-Cook material model parameters (A, B, C, m, n). Can any one tell me how can I proceed? Experimental or Numerical simulation??
Thanks in advance
We would like to invite you to a symposium entitled "Mechanics and Dynamics of Periodic Structures" as part of Society of Engineering Science (SES) 50th Annual Technical Meeting & ASME-AMD (Applied Mechanics Division) Annual Summer Meeting, Brown University, July 28-31, 2013. This special session aims to aggregate the latest research efforts contributing to the theoretical, experimental, and/or computational research on the mechanics and dynamics of periodic structures.
Hi all,
I am working on Abaqus 6.8. I am doing a pile loading
analysis in dense sand. I am not understanding how to plot
load-displacement plot by using static general step. I mean where i
should assign reaction forces and displacement in output request. i have
assigned a set at middle of pile and requested for disp. in output
request also i have made a set of bottom which is fixed and ask for
reation force in output request. i summed up all reaction forces and
combine with displacement. but i am getting zero force and graph becomes
