Active Research groups in Computational Plasticity

Submitted by bitamendi on

 

Hello everyone,

 

I'm last year PhD student. I would appreciate if someone could advice me about active research groups in Computational Plasticity (material models, hardening models, yield criteria, UMAT) in California or Australia.

 

I'm looking for an interesting research group to find a post-doc but I don't know from where start.

 

Thansks to everyone!!

sandwich composite: equivalent transverse shear stiffness

Submitted by tatiana on

 Hi,

 I wish to calculate an equivalent transverse shear stiffness of a simple sandwich plate. The plate is made of two skins and a layer of a foam.

Does anyone know an analytical formula for determination of equivalent (kGS) ?

 Thank's.

Dynamic Vibration Analysis of a cantilever beam and its effect on neighbouring beams by using ansys

Submitted by madhava on

Hi,

As a first step in the vibration analysis of the beam, I have modelled 2 rectangular cross section 3D beam and am doing the modal analysis in ansys, but the problem is there is no interaction happening of the 2 beams(ie i have defined the contact and target parameters to the' nodes of the 2 faces of the beam facing each other',by using cintaca170, 174), the beam behave as if there is no neighbouring beam.

Can anyone suggest something.

University Lecturer Position in Solid Mechanics in Oxford

Submitted by goriely on

We have opened a position of University Lecturer (more or less equivalent to Assistant Prof and Associate Prof in the US system) in " Mathematics in Materials Science".

This is a position at the interface between mathematics and solid mechanics (and associated fields). People either with strong modelling skills or strong mathematical background are encouraged to apply.

More details can be found at http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/17924
