Does internal heat transfer attribute work with VUMAT subroutine?

Submitted by abhime07 on

I am running J-C plasticity VUMAT subroutine and trying to club inbuilt heat transfer attributes for temperature update, but it's not working. I would appreciate if someone can advise me if there any way to club inbuilt heat transfer with VUMAT or I have to write separate subroutine? 

Thanks & Regards,

Abhishek

Time integration scheme for Dynamic Crack Propagation in XFEM?

Submitted by abbhuiya on

Hello,

 

I am trying to implement the time integration scheme proposed by Combescure et. al [1] to simulate a dynamic crack propagation problem in XFEM (2D edge crack under impact loading). But I have an interesting question to ask.

 

Postdoctoral Position on Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut

Submitted by Dongare on

The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a  postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of impact behavior of materials at the mesoscales. The work is based on the newly developed quasi-coarse-grained dynamics method that extends the time and length scale capabilities of molecular dynamics simulations to the mesoscales.  The postdoctoral researcher will work on the extension of this method to model shock/impact response of complex materials systems.
