Hello everyone,
The institute of Modelling and Simulation in Mechanics and Materials is looking for a post-doctoral researcher with less than 10 years experience (post-PhD) to work in the area of lubricated contact at the theoretical and computational level. The selected candidate will be supervised by Prof. Evans and Prof. Borodich.
The position is for 12 months and the salary in the vicinity of €35,000.

Dear all,
I have several questions about how to use existing constitutive law of material to code UMAT in Abaqus. I have carried out experiment for several powder materials, including metal, ceramic, polymer powders. The powder aggregate is compacted in a cylindrical die. After the compaction, relationships between axial stress and axial strain, radial stress and axial strain are obtained. The material under such condition is always treated as elastic plastic material.

Hi my friends,
in Mohr-coloumb plasticity model in abaqus program, there is hardening table,this table includes both cohesion yield stress and absolute plastic strain.
the question is this cohesion yield stress is calculated from the stress -strain diagram, or this cohesion is estimated from the shear test, you know when you draw a relationship between shear stress and normal stress you can get both cohesion and friction angle.
the second question is :- how can i see the model while it is running, i am using abaqus 6.6.
thanks alot.

I'm trying to better understand the 3-noded triangular element with drilling rotations.
I think that the 3-noded triangle with drilling rotations is derived from the 6-noded linear strain triangle by, for mid-side nodes, constraining out-of-plane dof & converting in-plane dof to nodal rotation.
In particular, I'm wondering about the following:
