Aalto University School of Engineering in Finland has an open position for a doctoral student in the Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at the Department of Applied Mechanics. Our research group studies the behavior of ships and structures in ice, ice mechanics and also assesses the impact of sea ice on the safety of maritime transportation. An important part of our research is experimental work. For that we have excellent possibilities as we operate the Aalto Ice Tank, a 40 m × 40 m ice model basin.

A postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the laboratory of Rafael Grytz, PhD, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, for 2 years, starting immediately. The candidate will be instrumental in developing computational methods to quantify and simulate growth and remodeling mechanisms in ocular conditions and diseases.

Dear Colleagues,

Indentation, in particular, instrumented nanoindentation has become an elegant and effective technique for probing materials behavior at nanoscales and up.

We are now organizing the Fifth International Indentation Workshop (IIW5), which will take place at the University of Texas at Dallas, USA on November 1-5, 2015.

Helo everyone,

I did the UTM Tensile testing for my standard specimen and got the stress strain table.

As a result i got the Tensile Strength (in Mpa). 

In abaqus i modeled the standard specimen and created the weld like model.

The plastic material properties (material properties of my Electrode E7018) is given to the weld geometry and

UTM results for the standard specimen, and got the same result for the UTM tested with welded specimen.

i am trying to simulate sheet metal bending.

die and punch were given as analytically ridid body.

the following error occured ,

kindly clarify me regarding this.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to simulate trsmition lines with and without dampers.

Who knows how can I define "Bending Stiffness" for a cable or beam?

thanks in advance
