Finding a PhD position of 2012 Fall about Materials

Submitted by Yongjie WANG on

Being a undergraduate student of Harbin Institute of Technology,China, I will get my bachelor degree in JUL 2012 majoring in Composite Materials and Engineering. Then I want to find an availible PhD position of 2012 FALL to further my study.

I have studied all the basic courses of materials and mechanics in my bachelor education. Also I have got good scores in both class and lab. And you can see details in my CV and PS attached. 

CSME 2012 International congress- Recent developments in fatigue and fracture of engineering materials and structures

Submitted by rajeshprasanna on

Scope of Symposium

It is widely accepted that fatigue is the most common failure mode of structural components. Losses due

to fatigue failures annually are over several millions to billions of dollars. Apart from these economic

losses, fatigue failures are also responsible for causing major safety concerns due to the rapid and often

undetectable nature of the final components’ fracture. This symposium will bring together researchers

Title : Experimental and numerical study
of the composite materials fatigue under multiaxial loadings

The Polymers and Composites Technology & Mechanical Engineering
Department of the Ecole des Mines de Douai (France) is currently offering a
postdoctoral fellow position aiming at studying the behavior of composite
materials under multiaxial loadings.

non linear frequency analysis

Submitted by phrankie81 on

Hi,

I'm trying to run a frequency analysis of a composite beam with non-linear properties in Abaqus. Is it possible to make use of the non-linear properties in the frequency analysis. If so how can I do it?

Composite beam in this case refers to a combination of steel and concrete. 

Any detailed contributions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Shot Peen Hardness With Nanoindentation

Submitted by NANOVEA on
The intention of shot peening is ultimately to alter the mechanical properties of a given surface. By hitting the surface with controlled shot the surface will deform plastically. Proper Instrumentation, nanoindentation, will play a vital factor in achieving reliable and intended results.

Basic question regarding composite failure during impact

Submitted by viveknra on
Hi everyone.. I am doing low velocity impact analysis on graphite/ epoxy
composite plate using abaqus. I have a basic question. During transverse
impact, when does a composite fail? The transverse tensile strength of
my composite is 45 Mpa, transverse compressive strength is 252Mpa,
Longitudinal tensile & compressive strengths are 1520 and 1590 Mpa
respectively. During my analysis, I got the Maximum von mises stress as
2093MPa at the point of impact, but still the failure criterion is not
