Job; lecturer; Dynamics

 

The UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering seek to appoint an outstanding academic with a suitably strong record of research and teaching in Dynamics.  Dynamics is a core discipline within Mechanical Engineering and has strong connections with Solid & Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and most aspects of Control. It is also fundamentally important for other branches of engineering, including Civil, Electrical, Biomedical, and Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering.

Image-based modelling can be used to analyse mass transfer phenomena through porous media, with particular applications to reservoir rock pore-throats networks. The aim of these analyses is to improve our understanding and characterisation of the way fluids move through variable pore-scales.

Using real geometries from micro-CT, this project involved generating a 3D model in Simpleware software for visualisation and processing prior to meshing and export to COMSOL Multiphysics® for studying chemical transport mechanisms.

The interaction between cars or trains and bridges has been often described by means of a simplified model consisting of a beam loaded by a traveling mass, or by a traveling oscillator.Among others, two aspects are essential when dealing with masses traveling along flexible vibrating supports: (i) a complete relative kinematics; and (ii) a continuous transition between a traveling mass, rigidly coupled, and a traveling oscillator, elastically coupled with the support.

Abaqus contact problem

Hello Everyone

I am trying to simulate material dumping process from shovel onto mining dump truck. And for that i am using Abaqus/Explicit.  When i plot the contact force of material falling onto truck body under gravity, it gives me the maximum value of 0.12e+11, where as a simple theoretical analysis shows that the resulting impact force for 100 tons of material falling under gravity should be 9e5 N. I am not been able to understand the reason that why Abaqus /Explicit is exaggerating the impact/contact force so much. And i dont know how to correct this thing.
