Call for Abstracts TMS 2016: Biological Materials Science Symposium

Submitted by Francois Barthelat on

We are organizing a Symposium on Biological Materials Science at the 145th TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition (TMS 2016)

February 14 – 18, 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee.

This symposium will encompass the following themes:

• Biological materials (soft and hard tissues, cells, etc.)

• Biomaterials (implants, tissue engineered structures, and devices)

• Modeling and experimental evaluation of mechanical properties of biological and biomaterials

• Biomimetic and bio-inspired materials

Conversion of gemotry in beam section

Submitted by sachin46 on

Dear all,

In ANSYS mechanical I am interested for free vibration analysis of ship structure, for it I have an weight distribution information along with all geometry details . I am looking for frequency as a an output from it. 

I want to convert the ship into equivalent beam section ,anyone has an Idea how to convert it into beam element ?

As per my knowledge I have to take care of CG location ,Ixx ,Iyy and Izz.

Kindly help me to perform same.

Regards

UMAT subroutine for 3d solid elements

Submitted by hermatician on

Dear All,
I am okay in ABAQUS although trying subroutines for the first time.
I am trying to modify some codes available online, but the primary UMAT which I am posting here, is not working.
It shows no error in .log file but the job monitor says "Problem during compilation - D:\Abaqus Work Directory\Trial_user_subroutine\try\Umat_mine.for"

Please help me this, its very urgent.
Thanking you all,
P.S. The code is attached in .txt format
Here is the code

Postdoc position: Phase field models for inelastic deformations in materials

Submitted by ndaphalapurkar on

A Postdoctoral position will likely be available at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, U.S.A. in the area of phase field modeling of inelastic deformations, including fracture, under extreme thermomechanical loading conditions. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D. in engineering or physical sciences disciplines, background in numerical methods, intensive experience related to a topic in multiscale simulations of materials.

PhD Position in Arterial Biomechanics and MR Imaging in Trinity College Dublin

Submitted by trionalally on

The aim of the research project is to develop a means of identifying alterations in collagen fibre architecture of arteries in vivo using non-invasive imaging techniques that can be linked with disease progression. DT-MRI has been used to characterise fibre patterns in animal tissue and this project will explore the means by which this can be enhanced in human tissue. Potential applications of the NODDI (neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging) protocol in arterial tissue will be explored.

Define Density

Submitted by Braad on

Dear All,

I do not know how to see the density (or any other arbitrary variables) contours as the result of my process. Should I define any special things? should I write any code?...

 

Any helps would be highly appreciated.

Career perspectives in the field of "porous media"

Submitted by setareh on

Hi everyone,

 

 I was wondering what the career opportunities would look like after getting a PhD in numerical simulation of porous media. Besides a research job in universities, what other possibilities are there? Would industry also be interested in such specialization and if yes in which sectors?

 

Thank you for your opinions.
