Fundamentals of Fracture - Symposium at DPG2013

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

Dear colleagues,



We are organizing a symposium titled "Fundamentals of Fracture" at the 2013 Spring Meeting of the German Physical Society, taking place in Regensburg, Germany.



The aim of this international symposium is to bring together specialists from the fields of solid state physics, materials science, continuum mechanics, statistical physics and mathematics to discuss  the latest scientific developments related to fundamental mechanisms and physics of fracture.



Topic 43: Unsafe acts/conditions during routine tasks in platforms/offshore and how to avoid them.

Submitted by Rovshan on

Dear all. Most of us are working already or planning join to oil and gas industry as an engineer,so you will do routine jobs frequently. I would like to share incidents/accidents and near misses those happened in the rig where I work and explain reasons ,how to avoid them. I hope you will benefit from this information in you future career. 

TOPIC 1

Topic 42: Potential and Safety Issues concerning Biogas

Submitted by JIEFU on

Biogas is a mixture of various gases from organic gas methane to inorganic gases carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen and so on, which can be produced from a wide range of material. Let's discuss it's potential of being a dependable energy source in the future, and the safety related issues.

SPH analysis

Submitted by sachin ahirrao on

Hello,

       I am trying to simulate hydraulic damper by SPH method. I have already tried CEL method but didnt work. In SPH method I have following problem,

1. How to define the particle elements to a fluid inside the damper?

2. for defineing particles we need to write in input file so how and what to add in input file?

 Thanks,

McKenna, Aaron - MSc Oil and Gas Engineering
