Postdoc Position in Computational Nanomechanics and Multiscale Modeling at Columbia University

Submitted by Baoxing Xu on Fri, 02/04/2011 - 22:15

job

The energy/bio/nanomechanics group under the direction of Prof. Xi Chen at Columbia University is looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, based on computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling, the mechanisms of energy absorption, conversion, harvesting, and storage using nanomaterials. The initial appointment is one year and the position can be renewed based on performance.

ABAQUS

viscoplasticity

Dear All

I am working on Abaqus simulation for thermo-visco-plasticity, especially on necking problem in circular bar.

I need the plastic strain data to add in the material properties table of Abaqus.

And, any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks

Johnson Cook Plasticity Model

Johnson Cook Model

I'm trying to plot the stress-strain curve described by the Johnson-Cook strength (and eventually damage) models. The strength model is defined as:

σ=[A+Bεⁿ][1+C ln(ε_dot*)][1-T*^m]

where A, B, C, n, and m are material constants, ε_dot* is the non-dimensionalized strain rate, and T* is the homologous temperature where T*=(T-T0)/(Tmelt-T0)

How to display Dload in the .odb file?

Submitted by Nastaran Ghazi on Wed, 02/02/2011 - 16:55

Hi,

I have run a job through command window in Abaqus. I would like to display the Dload in the .odb file , but I couldn't figure out how to do that yet. I really appriciate if anybody helps me about that?

Thanks
