Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering).  Based in Cardiff, there will be frequent interactions with the University of California, San Diego as well as major aerospace companies in the UK. The research will formulate and develop numerical methods for mulitiscale and multiphysics design optimisation using level set topology optimization.

One or more of research experience in the following areas are required.

Hi all, 

     I want to model mode II composite delamination incorporating frictional effects. I found papers by Alfano and Sacco (2006) and few others also. My question is that to model such a situation are :

1) should I incorporate plasticity or damage analysis or both? What is the rite approach? 

2) In each of these cases, do I need to have a plastic yield function and damage surface ??  

The international conference is focused on the following topics:

Paper II.  A METHOD OF GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES BY MEANS OF SURFACES, 1873

Nanobrücken 2016: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting will take place March 2nd - 4th, 2016 at the INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken, Germany. This will be the 6th edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series. 

As in the past, the workshop is open to all aspects of nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, including biomechanical, in-situ experimentation and theory/simulation.
