hi friends am doin my my project on" FEA of plasticity induced crack closure". my specimen size is 80*80 mm. by using symmetry condition i modelled 1/4th of model in ANSYS. therfore i created 40*40 mm plate. with initial crack length of 4mm.means its MT specimen of 80*80mm with 8 mm crack length, by symmetry condition i modelled 40*40 with 4mm crack lenth.
We have an immediate opening for an outstanding post-doctoral fellow in our Multiscale Mechanics& Physics (MMP) Laboratory. We are broadlyinterested in the fundamental physics and mechanics of nano/bio materials andtheir applications in innovative nano/bio devices. The focus of our current projects include: (i) nanoscale transport phenomena in pharmaceutical, biomedical and biologicalsystems, (ii) mechanics of nanodefects and their applications in engineering nanodevices,(iii) multifunctional and advanced materials for structural applications.
Joint Postdoctoral Fellow Position at KAUST
and Georgia Institute of Technology — Accepting applications until the
position is filled
We have one more opening and have no U.S. visa waiver requirement anymore.
what should be the abaqus damage evolution parameters for the case of deformable body (aluminium plate) impacted by rigid projectile. the damage initialisation criteria is J-C model...
thanks in advance
Hello all,
I am implementing a Finite Shell element in Abaqus as a User Element. I have a question regarding the Residual Lod vector that has to be defined in the User Element Subroutine.
We know that K(du)=R-f where R is the external force vector at time t+dt
All,
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Catholic University of America (Washington DC) offers yearly a Fellowship to attract new Ph.D. students to the program. This Fellowship is currently available.
Dear all,
I am searching UMAT or numerical algorithm for anisotropic model for soil (clay).
Please give me the link if u have one.
Thank You in advance
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in theoretical, computational, and/or experimental research in the general area of Structural Engineering and Mechanics effective September 1, 2011. The appointment is expected to be at the Assistant Professor level, although exceptional applicants at higher ranks will be given serious consideration.
SoftInWay invites engineers to take part in free 1-hour webinar "Design of High Efficiency Steam Turbine in AxSTREAM" that will take place on Thursday, October 21, 2010, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.
The webinar demonstrates the steps of steam turbine design on 1D/2D level, with particular focus on influence of different factors on turbine efficiency at the following stages of design:
- 1D Preliminary design and optimization: number of stages, geometrical and structural constraint
