Publication citation metrics and h-index for Australian Universities

Submitted by Gareth Forbes on
opinion
h-index

For similar reasons outlined by Zhigang’s post node/2345 I
have found it necessary to find comparisons in publication citation
metrics/indices whilst in Academic employment. Much has been discussed about
the appropriate use of these metrics and the arguments on the benefits and
drawbacks are both compelling. Whatever your opinion, it seems that for the
foreseeable future these publication citation metrics are here to stay.

dispersive and nondispersive results!

Submitted by amceuma on

Hi dear friends 

I am working about wave propagation modeling in solids. in FEM for 1D beam model when governed differential equation of motion is solving by central difference method the output results of displacement are nondispersive but by using MATLAB "lsim" command for simulation of LTI system for arbitrary inputs, the outputs are dispersive which we expect this phenomenon will be happen in beam like models!

in bar models both methods leads to nondispersive results which is resonable.

could you help me?

Postdoc position — Modeling fragmentation in brittle materials

Submitted by ndaphalapurkar on
job
crack propagation
dynamic fragmentation
statistics of fragment distributions
Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI; hemi.jhu.edu) of The Johns Hopkins University is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on modeling fragmentation in brittle materials under extreme loading conditions. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D., with some background in fracture mechanics and experience working with the finite element or some other numerical method.

Questions about UEL

Hi everybody,

I have a UEL for truss element (T3D2). I'm calling and reading some .dat files inside of the UEL. I'm just reading these files inside of the UEL without doing anything to them or with them (It's just a test case). Here is an example:

Comparing experimental fracture properties and micromechanical (or global-local/multiscale) finite element simulations

Submitted by prathyush963 on

Micromechanical modeling
Flexure
global-local

I am interested in developing a global-local finite element model (micro/macro) to simulate flexural testing of a composite material. Flexural loading will be applied on global model (macro) and crack propagation will be simulated in the local model (micro). I want to compare stress intensity factor or any other fracture property obtained from local model (micro) with that of experimental results.

I would appreciate if anyone could suggest some references/literature in this area. Any kind of suggestions would be great!

Microplane modeling of shape memory alloy tubes under tension, torsion, and proportional tension–torsion loading

Submitted by R.Mehrabi on
research
Shape memory alloy
constitutive modeling
proportional loading

In this paper, a phenomenological constitutive
model based on microplane model is used to simulate tension, torsion and proportional tension-torsion on NiTi thin-walled tube. Validation of the
microplane model against experimental results in different loading conditions demonstrates
the capability of this approach.
This publication will benefit the numerical and experimental study on SMAs.
