The turbocharger efficiency has a direct effect on the fuel efficiency of the engine. However in many turbocharger turbine applications it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve the turbine efficiency with conventional design methods.
I need to extract the consistent mass matrix of a solid element, the thing is every time I use *MATRIX GENNERATE it gave me the lumped mass matrix which is a reduced version of the consistent mass matrix. However, if I use a beam element, I just need to print out next to *Beam Section, Lumped = NO to give me the consistent mass matrix but only this option is applicable for beam element which will not be helpful model cause I need a solid element.
In summary, I just need to know how to get the consistent mass matrix of a solid element and not the lumped one.
Orr Early Career Award (ASME Materials Division)
The Materials Division of ASME is pleased to announce that nominations are being accepted for the Orr Early Career Award. This Early Career Award is given by the Orr Family through the Materials Division of the ASME to recognize early career research excellence in the general area of Failure of Materials, with particular emphasis on experimental, computational, and/or theoretical aspects of fatigue, fracture or creep.

I am writing a subroutine DFLUX, the FLUX(1) is dependent on strain and stress. But I don't know how to get the strain and stress. I use SPRINC in the code but it seems to be wrong.
The equation for the problem is
q=(α^2XΩXε^2XE)/2
E=(σ/ε)*sin(d)
σ is stress and ε is strain
A one-year postdoctoral position is available at the Laboratory of Mechanics & Acoustics, CNRS & Aix-Marseille University, France.
The project focuses on image-based identification problems for physical quantities of interest in solid mechanics within the framework of optical measurement methods for complex manufactured materials. The guideline objective is to develop an identification framework for multiscale, heterogeneous and anisotropic media.
More information can be found in the attachment.
Application deadline: February 28th, 2015.
Dear ALL,
Does anyone here has an experience carry out FE analysis for a part[bracket] which was deformed plastically during cyclic loading test.
I'm now working to resolve this issue when a bracket was fail to withstand the constant loading of 500N during cyclic test. It was reported fail at ~3800 cycles which was less than target.
Rgds.
Graduate Research Assistant Positions
Graduate Research Assistant Positions are available for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents who have completed a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Civil Engineering or a related field and wish to pursue Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Fall 2015. We will also consider outstanding students who have completed their B.S. degree and want to directly pursue their Ph.D. degree starting.
