PhD students and postdocs needed soon at the University of Oxford

Submitted by v.tagarielli on

Dear All,

I would like to bring to your attention seven new research opportunities at the University of Oxford and at the Fraunhofer Institute in Freiburg (DE).

These are for four Post-Doctoral Research Assistantships (one at Oxford, three at Freiburg) and three PhD
Studentships (all at Oxford).

The details can be found here: http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/NP/RESEARCH/VACANCIES/vacancies.html

Many thanks,

strain evaluation in relaxed nanowires

Submitted by Yongfeng Zhang on

Due to the existence of surface stress, the interior of a free standing nanowire is in non-zero stress state especially near free surface (see attached). This stress state corresponds to strain field in nanowires. A reference configuration would then be necessary to define the strain. Any good suggestions on the selection of the reference configuration?

Simulation of FRP in ANSYS

Submitted by omaromar on

I make a master research about concrete beam strengthened using FRP strips and u-wraps. i do the FEA for my test samples in ANSYS so,i hope if someone can tell me what the better element is for simulation of strips and which one for u-wraps. another question, is the local axes effective in ansys and how i can control it.

Many thanks

Finite element modelling fracture mechanics of polymer/clay nanocomposites

Submitted by CeciliaPisano on

I am Cecilia. In 2007 I graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy).

During the degree courses I took several classes on structural mechanics, including, Mechanics of Composite Materials,

Fracture Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (with Ansys and Abaqus).

Now I am a PHD student at the Univesity of Cagliari and this is the aim of my research:

Finite element modelling of polymer-clays nanocomposites with
