POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE POSITION University of Pittsburgh The Shankar Research Group (www.shankarlab.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting tentatively in September 2014. The position’s primary area of research will focus on mechanical instabilities and actuation in structures fabricated from photoresponsive, azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystal polymers and polyimides. A background in experimental mechanics and mechanical characterization is required.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard University seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. We seek an individual who will perform the highest quality scholarly research, with potential applications to meet an important societal need, such as energy, environment, or health. The expected start date is July 1, 2015.
I am new to abaqus and am going through this tutorial on "Damage and failure of a laminated composite plate". I find lot of input files at the bottom of this example. I tried "importing" them by going to file->import but I find that there is no geometry or mesh associated with it. Does one create the geometry oneself? How do we use the sample ".inp" and ".f" files to learn about abaqus sample problems.
What design considerations should i take to lessen my deformation in the assembly.
And what changes can i implement to reduse the deformations like (Should i use some holes etc.)
Thanks in advance.
The reproducing kernel element method is a numerical technique that combines finite element and meshless methods to construct shape functions of arbitrary order and continuity, yet retains the Kronecker-δ property. Central to constructing these shape functions is the construction of global partition polynomials on an element. This paper shows that asymmetric interpolations may arise due to such things as changes in the local to global node numbering and that may adversely affect the interpolation capability of the method.
The posting was temporarily offline yesterday. It’s been re-posted since. The new link is attached below as the old one does not work anymore. Also attached is the description of the position. Thanks again for your interest and help!!
