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.

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.

ABAQUS built-in SMA model

Shape memory alloy

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.

Manipulation of SDV in VUSDFLD subroutines

Submitted by PoojaShah on
research

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.

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

SACHIN46
