PhD or Postdoc position in Materials Mechanics/Numerics/Statistical Physics

Submitted by katrin schulz on

Development of advanced materials for high-end applications is driven by the increasing understanding of the dynamics and properties of defect microstructures, leading to the ability to synthesize and control materials microstructures to meet specific application demands. Dislocation motion is the fundamental physical mechanism of the plastic deformation process in crystalline materials.

what is the reason for Large element deformation?

Submitted by Dincoz on

Hi my Friends,

I am doing abaqus run for a copper specimen under hydrostatic pressure. The magnetude of pressure is in order of several Giga Pascals. In my material definition, I have defined stress-strain flow up to strain of 0.4. But as you can see in attached photo, some elements show very large deformation (considerably larger than 0.4). Knowing that I have not defined stress strain behaviour for srain greater than 0.4, how this can be occure? Unfortunately, niether adaptive meshing nor element deletation were not eliminate this issue!!

西安交通大学毕业典礼,2015.6.27

 

尊敬的张迈曾书记,尊敬的王树国校长,

各位嘉宾,各位老师,各位同学,各位家长,

 

大家上午好!

 

感谢学校让我作为校友在毕业典礼上致辞。年轻的同学们,我想和你们谈一个大家都关心的话题:机会。

 

三十年前,也就是一九八五年,我从西安交通大学本科毕业。毕业典礼上,汪应洛副校长讲话。主题是技术革命与中国振兴。当时技术革命的热点是光纤维。当时普遍认为中国比发达国家落后几十年,赶超世界是一个遥远的梦想。汪应洛教授指出,中国不需要走西方的老路,不需要先普及电话,再建设互联网。在光纤维的时代,中国与世界站在同一个起跑线上。光纤维是中国振兴的一个机会。

Multistable Architected Materials for Trapping Elastic Strain Energy

Submitted by Sung Hoon Kang on

3D printing and numerical analysis are combined to design a new class of architected materials that contain bistable beam elements and exhibit controlled trapping of elastic energy. The proposed energy-absorbing structures are reusable. Moreover, the mechanism of energy absorption stems solely from the structural geometry of the printed beam elements, and is therefore both materials- and loading-rate independent.

PhD and post-doctoral positions on multiscale materials modeling at IMDEA Materials Institute

Submitted by Javier LLorca on

Two PhD and two post-doctoral positions are available at IMDEA Materials Institute within the framework of a project funded by the European Reseach Council to develop multiscale modeling strategies –together with the corresponding experimental validation– to simulate the microstructural development during solidification and thermal treatments as well as the mechanical behavior at different length scales of Al and Mg alloys.

More details and information to apply can be found in the enclosed files.
