The Department of Mechanical Engineering invites outstanding applicants in all areas of
Mechanical Engineering for tenure-track positions at the level of Assistant Professor beginning
Fall 2014. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is multi-disciplinary with strong research
programs in Biomechanics, Robotics and Control, MEMs and Nanotechnology, Thermo-fluid
Sciences and Energy, Bioacoustics, and Materials. The department is further strengthened by its
affiliation with the Photonics Center, the Division of Materials Science and Engineering, The
Division of Systems Engineering, and the Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation.

Equilibrium theories for a continuum body may be formulated by either of the
following the classic paradigms: (1) We begin with the stress postulation (Cauchy’s formulation) and write down the kinematics, conservation laws, and
constitutive relations. In this way, one can obtain a system of field equations
which, presumably, can be solved upon specifying boundary conditions and
determine the equilibrium state of the body. (2) A second way is to start from
the energy postulation (Green’s

Fatigue and Fracture

Dear Colleagues,

The 20th European Conference on Fracture (www.ecf20.no) will be held at Trondheim, in Norway on 30 June - 4 July 2014. We are inviting abstracts in the areas of fracture and fatigue at all scales! The deadline for abstract submission is 4 October, 2013.

hello,

 I am trying to solve a simple cantilever beam (2D)  in ansys.

I wish to find out the critical time-step that can be used to explicitly solve a transient problem. 

 

I started with modal analysis to determine the maximum natural frequency of the model. I then computed dt < 2/Wmax.

I use this dt with beta = 0.0 and gamma = 0.25 (Newmark parameters). However the solution is unstable.

I am including my apdl script with this post.

Basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulations

Submitted by chandrashekhar… on

Dear all,

Can you please suggest me some basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulation of materials. I am quite naive in this field. I have some exposure to solid mechanics and finite element techniques. I understand that I need to study molecular dynamic simulations also, where again I need advice for basic references.  I would be thankful for your help.

Thanks and regards,

Shekhar
