Hi all,
Hi all
Do i have to use geostatic step when i use hermal expansion to analyze single pile in expansive soil?

Wave propagation simulation in elastic bar
Hi ,
I'm working on simulation of wave propagation in a bar. I'm using
newmark time integration scheme to solve my problem. I have a bae
clamped at one end and under tensile at the other end. when I decrease
my time step ,at the beginning of the loading I see tiny negative
strains which is so weird. I used some numerical damping with the scheme
and I could reduce the time step but still I have this problem in
smaller time steps. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much!!!
One postdoctoral position in advanced concrete materials starting May 2012
Dear All,
I am looking for one postdoctor to work on advanced concrete materials and modeling. The desired candidates will have a solid knowledge on concrete materials and mechanics, and are familiar with advanced modeling of hydration, water or chemical transfer in concrete. Extra considerations will be given to candidates with some experimental experiences on concrete microstructures and material characterization.
PhDs/Postdocs in modeling composite structures/materials
Dear All,
I am looking for highly motivated PhDs/PostDocs to join my group to work on various aspects of efficient high-fidelity modeling of composite structures/materials, mainly related with VABS/VAPAS/VAMUCH. The basic qualifications are: basic training in solid mechanics and composite materials, excellent math and programming skills, and good English communication skills. Please let me know if you are interested or if you know somebody is interested.

Parametric study
Dear Mechanicans,
I work with Abaqus 6.11-1 and would create a parametric study to studie results from multiple analysis.
In my first example I use a geometric easy specimen where I sampling the young's modulus in a cube.
I create and perform a parametric study what works very well. But if I would gather results of one element set from the output database (odb) Abaqus prompt that "element or node labeles are required". I have read the Abaqus User's Manual but dosent found a suitable solution.
for any helpful hints I am very grateful.
J integral variation through thickness in tubes with through-wall circumferential crack, calculated with Abaqus/CAE
Dear friends: I am a PhD candidate studying fracture problems in tubes. I am doing J integral calculations in Abaqus, for tubes with through-wall circumferential cracks subjected to tensile and bending loads. I am using quadratic 20 nodes isoparametric elements with reduced integration (C3D20R), ranging from two to five elements through the wall thickness mesh.

career as computational seismologist
Dear Mechanicians,
I have got an offer to do PhD in computational seismology in a very good university in Europe, however, I have no idea what sort of career I should expect after getting my PhD in this field. I got my BSc and MSc in mechanical engineering but have never worked in the field of geophysics and seismology. Therefore I am hesitating whether to take the offer or not.
uniaxial compression test in abaqus
Hello all,
I am trying to simulate singke element uniaxial compressive test in abaqus.
Now I need to extract results in terms of stress-strain curve.
Can anybody tell me which foeld output should I extract
Thanks in advance
