Hi,

 

I am pursuing my master's in Mech. Engg. and working on Abaqus for FEA of components. In one of the analysis, 

I am required to apply cyclic loading on the component to determine the Stresses at the edges. Its a compression

cyclic loading with kinematic hardening taken into account. From the documentation for ABAQUS 6.9.1, I found that

in order to apply kinematic hardening in metals, one must take it as Combined (Isotropic + Kinematic) Hardening.

 

The two concerns I have about this analysis are:

At the department of Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D student positions starting immediately in the general area of Computational Mechanics/Materials Physics. The material systems that we are interested in—for example, graphene, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots—are relevant for nanotechnology and energy applications. The current research topics are multidisciplinary in nature, with underlying principles drawn from Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics.

Journal impact factor

I'm pleased to announce that the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials (JMBBM) has received its first impact factor. For 2009 the impact factor is 3.176*, ranking JMMBM 4th in category Materials Science, Biomaterials and 8th in Engineering, Biomedical.

Congratulations to the editorial team - a great result reflecting all their contributions since the Journal's inception in 2007 - and sincere thanks to the authors and reviewers who supported the Journal in its first three years!
