Hi! I am looking for a postdoctoral position of the following interests:

1. Structural design, analysis and optimization;

2. Mechanics, Heat transfer, Acoustics or Electromagnetics;

3. Numerical Methods (FEM, BEM).

I would be very thankful that if you are going to have a position and

A computational study of flexoelectricity

Submitted by Amir Abdollahi on

Flexoelectricity is a size-dependent electromechanical mechanism coupling polarization and strain gradient. It exists in a wide variety of materials, and is most noticeable for nanoscale objects, where strain gradients are higher. Simulations are important to understand flexoelectricity because experiments at very small scales are difficult, and analytical solutions are scarce. Here, we computationally evaluate the role of flexoelectricity in the electromechanical response of linear dielectric solids in two-dimensions.

VUMAT Subroutines for multi-phase material behavior.

Submitted by simumano on

Hi everyone. I would like to know how to get started with a VUMAT subroutine for multiphases for example a subroutine for pore water and sand. It could be helpful when anyone could share VUMAT subroutines for learning such complex programmings. Could be appreciated when some one teaches with equations. thank you.
