Postdoc position at MIT: Thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites
A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately,
focused on the analysis and development of multifunctional thermal
management structures, by using theoretical and atomistic multiscale
modeling and simulation. This project specifically involves calculations
of thermal and mechanical properties of graphene based metal- and
polymer nanocomposites, with a focus on various aspects such as
interfacial transport properties, tunability, mutability and phonon
engineering. Additional aspects of the project relate to the general
pin forces in ANSYS
hi all,
i am doing static analysis on a pick and carry crane, i need to find the pin forces. for this i created entity set with the nodes where the forces are to be derived and ran a static analysis in ansys.In order to derive the forces , i first picked the entity set and then applied the nodal loads from the list result options. the result that i got was not fine. it states there was zero forces on the pins, but its not.i need to find the pinforces, so kindly let me know , how to do it.
thanks

A Thermodynamic Model of Physical Gels
Nancomposite textbook for undergrads ? recommend me one.
Dear All,
I've got to start teaching a masters level programme on nanocomposites, well 7 lectures worth of one anyway. It will serve as an introduction to NCs and briefly review the current stat of the art.
I would like opinions on textbooks to accompany such a module.
Any of you had any good experiences with any particular books ?
Thanks,
Chris
Experimental notch fracture testing to calculate KII
Hi,
I am doing a v-notch fracture testing (experimental) with opening angles from 0,30,60,90,120 to 150 deg and need to calculate KII. I need a equation that could be used to calculate KII for both 0 deg and also for non-zero opening notch angles. I am using TestResources machine to do this shear testing and I will get results in terms of load vs. d. The material is PMMA. What could be the appropriate displacement/min or load to break the specimen.

Eulerian Mesh for Modelling Solid Mechanics !
In modelling fluid-solid interaction, it is more common to use a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian mesh. It would be advantageous, in a way, to model solid through an Eulerian mesh to establish a unified mesh for the whole problem; however, the litrature seems to be poor (or at least to me after searching Google) in that area!
I know that Lagrangian meshes are better for modelling solids. Nevertheless, it should not be the only way or is it?
Would you please advise on Eulerian meshes for solid modelling?
Best regards,
INTERFACE FRACTURE IN ABAQUS
Hiii alll,
How can we calculate J integral of interface fracture. I'm trying to reproduce results of Hutchinson paper crack defection at an interface between dissimilar material. But while using VCCT im confused that what value i can give for crack growth parameter G1c, G2c..how can we get G1c and G2c for an interface, is it needed. Want to find the energy release rate of deflection at the interface. The material interface is of aluminium and aluminium oxide. Please do reply.Hope u understand my problem.
Thank you...
Flow stress
Hello
I am working on a thesis project dealing with flow stress in cold rolling, a plane strain operation. To determine the flow stress, tensile tests were carried out. I am aware, that the engineering strain/stress hast to be transfered to the true strain/stress and then the true strain/stress from the tensile test has to be mulitplied with the Von Mises yield criterion to yield the correspondent compressive flow stress in the rolling situation.
