10 PhD Scholarships / Postdoctoral Positions in Computational Materials Science
The Cluster of Excellence ‘Engineering of Advanced Materials’ of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is inviting applications for doctoral students and postdocs in the area of Computational Materials Science to join the institute for general materials properties, the computer chemistry center and/or the chair of theoretical chemistry.
International Conference on COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS
September 4-6, 2013 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Objectives and topics:
Development
of nanoengineering technologies and creation of nanomaterials opened
new perspectives for a number of areas of industry and everyday life.
These materials demonstrate increased strength, toughness,
biocompatibility, and can ensure higher service properties, reliability
and lifetime of devices and systems.
Having nanostructuring and
nanoengineering technologies as the tools to enhance the service
Topic 36: Deep Sea Disposal of Oil and Gas Installations – Acceptable risk?
The subject cannot be discussed
without reference to the Brent Spar incident in which Shell, with the UK
government permission, decided to sink the Brent Spar (a redundant oil storage
installation) into the North Sea as a decommission and disposal [1]. Greenpeace,
an Environment protection organization, rallied public support against the
move, culminating in Shell changing their stand even though they had earlier
met all conditions satisfying that the option was environmentally safe.
Fracture strain for steel in Abaqus
Hello Everyone,
I am modeling a machining simulation in abaqus. there I have to used JC material model and Ductile damage. I am taking mateial properties for Steel specifically AISI 4140. So in ductile damage option, i need to put fracture strain value. for time being i am putting 1.5. I will be very thankful if anyone tell me the actual value of fracture strain for steel or more specifically for AISI 4140.
Thanks in advance.
regards

Simulation of solids mechanics with impact contact and friction, The Siconos software release 3.5.0
Dear colleagues,
For people interesting in the simulation of solids mechanics with impact contact and friction, we are pleased to announce the release 3.5.0 of the Siconos software. The software is open-source, under GPL Licence and can be found at http://siconos.gforge.inria.fr/
It contains several time--stepping integrators for the nonsmooth dynamics and a large colection of solvers of the frictional contact problems that can be used separately.
Are we going away from mechanics?
Hi all,
Let me clarify first. The topic is not about imechanica.org is going away from mechanics or not.
