Looking for Post Doc position in Finite Element modeling of manufacturing process

Submitted by hfawad on

hi, i am Fawad and I am from Pakistan and i am looking for a possible position as post doc researcher in the general area of modeling of manufacturing processes like EDM, Welding. i have exp of modeling welding and Rapid Prototyping process and presently i am working on the development of model for EDM process, i already have 08 journal publication since 2005. My area of research during PhD deals with the thermo-mechanical modeling of welding based Rapid Prototyping with emphasis on reduction of residual stresses and deformations.

Cell sensitivity to substrate stiffness

Cell sensitivity to substrate stiffness

In Féréol et al. (Biophys. J., 2009, 96: 2009-2022),

we propose a coupled theoretical and experimental study in order to understand the

mechanism of cell sensitivity to substrate stiffness. To do so, we first consider

that adhesion sites pass through different stages of development, e.g., Initial

Adhesion (IA), Focal Complex (FC), Focal Adhesions (FA), characterized by the

dynamic crack initiation

Submitted by llguang on

Hello everyone, I am studying the dynamic crack initiation problem of composite material. Just like the below imagine ,a crack perpendicular to the interface of two different materials, under dynamic load, the crack will propagate, at the crack tip I use the singular element to simulate the stress and strain state. after I have the crack tip stress, how can I calculate the energy release rate of different direction, for example, also along the original crack line or perpendicular to the original crack line., or kink from the 45 degree of original crack line.

Probelm with Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by Gouse on

Hi,




I am using cohesive elements to model the interface around a
circular inclusion. First I used Abaqus/standard I got proper results
but when I used same values with an amplitude curve (tabular, linearly
applied) to apply load quasi-statically in Abaqus/Explicit, I could not get a converged
solution. Field variables are oscillating and elements getting
distorted excessively. In Abaqus/Explicit I am applying load very
slowly but even though same problem persists.
