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.
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.
Dear colleagues,
Please note that the deadline for abstract submission to the 6th Biot Conference on Poromechanics has been extended to: September 30, 2016. This extension is final.
Hi all,
I'm an abaqus subroutine UEL user.
I recently got an existed UEL fortrain file from advisor professor, but had an following error message when I ran the code.
UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotrf referenced in function matinv_lapack
UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotri referenced in function matinv_lapack
The code has "call dpotrf('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" and "call dpotri('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" in function matinv_lapack, so I think I need to install lapack to resolve this problem.
Dear iMechanicians,
I would like to inform you about the workshop WCFA2016-VFA, which is this year organized with the focus set on Vibration Fatigue Analysis. The workshop will be held at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic from November 8 to November 10, 2016. The introductory lessons in the first day will be presented by Prof Darrell Socie, Prof Milan Ruzicka and Dr Jan Papuga, while the main topic - Vibration Fatigue Analysis - will follow in next two days and will be covered by Dr Neil Bishop.

Join us for a live webinar on 'How to improve efficiency and cavitation performance of pump impellers by using TURBOdesign Suite'.
When: Thurs 6th Oct 2016.
Time: 9am (BST) - Europe/Asia time zone and 12pm - (EDT) - US time zone.
There is an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in Professor Jay Kruzic’s group at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), in Sydney, Australia. The initial term will be one year, with the potential to extend the appointment for 2-3 years based on performance and availability of funding.
Key duties:
A cantilever beam with elastic hinge pulled antagonistically by two dielectric elastomer (DE) membranes in tension forms a foldable actuator if one DE membrane is subject to a voltage and releases part of tension. Simply placing parallel rigid bars on the prestressed DE membranes results in enhanced actuators working in pure shear state. We report design, analysis, fabrication and experiment of soft mobile robots that are moved by such foldable DE actuators.
