Help on ABAQUS UMAT subroutine

Submitted by m.khorrami on

I plan to use UMAT to do some simulations on soft tissue. Since I do not have experiences on this, I hope to find some example UMAT code to start with, especially on the thermo-elasto-pelastic models. I searched from google.com, but can not find useful information. Is there any resource on UMAT fortran code for downloading? Thank you very much.

Faculty Positions, Mechanical Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Submitted by Linda Conway on

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering.  This includes candidates whose research interests are in mechanical science and engineering but whose backgrounds are in another area of engineering, or in biology, chemistry, physics, or applied mathematics.  Information about the department, and the relevant research areas, can be found at http://mechse.illinois.edu/.

Working for a journal in collaboration

Submitted by mullerab on

I have been working in Numerical Simulation for sometime and would like to work with people who are familar with numerical simulation and are working for a certain paper right now or planning to work. I am located in Ethiopia. I am not  familiar with the research community, and instructor in one of the  university  in the country. If you are interested, I am eager to work. As it is one way of helping me  to introduce my self to the research community, while working on a certain paper, and further opens a way for addition works. 

Thanks 

Predicting the Young’s modulus of nanowires from first-principles calculations on their surface and bulk materials

Submitted by guofengwang on

Prof. Xiaodong Li and I are collaborating in identifying those physical mechanisms that govern the mechanical properties of nanomaterials. Recently, we have a manuscript accepted by the Journal of Applied Physics and would like to share it with you.
