Advanced Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices

Submitted by BShiari on

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring your attention to the symposium on "Advanced
Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices ". The
Symposium will be held at the University of Michigan from April 19 to April
20, 2011.

This Symposium brings together leading researchers in this field to review
recent progress and latest developments and review future challenges in
NEMS/MEMS and Micro/Nano-Fluidics.

New Chairs at University of Exeter

Submitted by Chris W Smith on

The University of Exeter will shortly announce several new chairs it is seeking to fill.

The chairs are full tenured chairs and in the following areas -

Cell Mechanics (two chairs, one nominally experimental and one nominally theoretical).

Structural Dynamics, possibly with an aerospace flavour.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me (c.w.smith-at-exeter.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.

Regards,

Chris Smith

 

ANSYS Mechanical Thermal Analysis - Average Temperature

Submitted by noppawit on

I've a result from thermal transient analysis. The result shows the maximum and minimum temperature of 4cm * 4cm plate with thickness of 1 mm.

Since the temperature of that plate is not uniform, so I'd like to see the average temperature from overall plate. How can I do it?

Thank you.

Hi...

 I am modeling orthotropic plate containing holes and cracks which element canI use for this purpose..?

 can anyone suggest what type of element I can use for above purpose..?

thanks in advance.......

Streamline Measurement Process with Technological Advance Tooling for Measuring Brake Disc

Submitted by sifisonxumalo on

Any who has ideas on my reseasch project.

These are the topics are need to cover for now.

1. Wearing modes to classify the disc failure.

2. What are the latest advance technological technics avaliable to measure disc brakes more efficient, 100% accurate with scale of micro's and effective.

3. Any work that has been conducted on disc brake modes literature

4. How big is this problem brake disc failure global
