6th International Workshop on Design for Civil and Environmental Engineering
Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation.

MODELIZACIÓN AVANZADA DE PROCESOS DE FORJA DE SUPERALEACIONES BASE NIQUEL
La simulación numérica es una herramienta clave para la optimización de los procesos de forja y la correcta predicción de las propiedades finales de los componentes forjados. Tanto en el sector Aeronáutico como en el de la energía, entre otros, las aleaciones de base Niquel se utilizan en componentes críticos de alto valor añadido. Las altas prestaciones de estos componentes junto con el elevado coste de la materia prima conllevan a la necesidad de una correcta optimización de los procesos de conformado.
Post-Doc Position Fracture Mechanics in Sheet metal Forming (Mondragon Unibertsitatea)
POST-DOC POSITION FOR NECKING AND DUCTILE FRACTURE CRITERION DEVELOPMENT
DESCRIPTION
Accurate modelling of sheet metal necking and ductile fracture is a key factor for the reliable numerical analysis of the stamping process feasibility of lightweight metals, such as ultra high strength steels and aluminium alloys.
What are Principal Stresses (explained without math equations) ?
In the following video, I have tried to explain the concept of principal stress in a more physical way and without involving any mathematical equations, hope you can easily imbibe the concept.

PhD position in computational solid mechanics
Aalto University (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, is looking for a doctoral student for a study on the breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks under compressive loads. The fragmentation process is complicated and requires the use of novel modelling methods that can be used reliably on different scales. In addition to the computational work, we will perform experiments on this topic. We start the work using our inhouse FEM-DEM code (other approaches can be also used), while the experiments will be performed in the cold room of our department.
