Postdoc Position in Experimental Nanomechanics
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in Dr. Yong Zhu’s lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University. The project involves mechanics, multiphysics and interface mechanics of two-dimensioanl (2D) nanomaterials. The successful candidate will have the opportunities to collaborate with researchers in the areas ranging from nanomaterial synthesis to atomistic simulation.
Requirements:
1. A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics or other related areas is required.
3-year post doctoral position in dynamic testing of materials - University of Southampton
As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.
The acceptance rate in JAM is reduced to 16% in 2015
The acceptance rate in JAM, according to ASME Publication Department, decreases from 33% in 2011 to 16% in 2015. The average review time is also reduced from 5 months to 1 month.
Ph.D. Position in Mechanical Engineering
Ph.D. position is available in the area of computational materials modeling using atomistic and multi-scale methods.
ABAQUS built-in SMA model
Dear Mechanicians,
time and again the question of SMA (shape memory alloy) modeling pops up.
In ABAQUS, you can achieve this only by (V)UMAT coding or by using the little-known built-in SMA model.
In the past I have frequently responded to queries on SMA modeling and could refer to a customer help site of SIMULIA. That site is down, regrettably.
I decided to post the files here to avoid responding with a longer explanation to every individual seeking assistance and uploading the files as E-mail attachment every time.
vuinteraction sumroutine
hi dear friends
i must learn to work with VUINTER and VUINTERACTION subroutines.plz help me...
is there any body who knows how to work with these codes??
best wishes
Manipulation of SDV in VUSDFLD subroutines
I am trying to write a subroutine with VUSDFLD
I would like to manipulate the Solution Dependent Variables based on its previous value as follows:
Statenew(k,2)=Stateold(k,2)*10
But Multiplaction and Divisiion operations do not give any results. They give 'No value' when they are output.
Would anyone know why this happens?
Thank you.
