Cutting iron foam samples
Hi, I have a sheet of open cell pure iron foam (porosity> 90% , thickness around 2.5 mm), and I would like to prepare 1 cm x 1 cm samples for subsequent compression tests. My foam is ductile and also it can be easily squeezed or bended with hand. I was wondering if I use a big rotatory saw (Bosch 4310, picture attached) to cut long rectangular strips (cuboids) of the foam (20 cm x 1 cm), could it significantly change the mechanical properties of the whole foam sheet, or it would change the mechanical properties of the cutting surface only.
Bifurcation & Chaos in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics: Novel & Highly Efficient Optimal-Feedback Accelerated Picard Iteration Algorithms
A new class of algorithms for solving nonlinear structural dynamical problems are derived in the present paper, as being based on optimal-feedback-accelerated Picard iteration, wherein the solution vectors for the displacements and velocities at any time in a finitely large time interval are corrected by a weighted (with a matrix) integral of the error. We present 3 approximations to solve the Euler-Lagrange equations for the optimal weighting functions; thus we present 3 algorithms denoted as Optimal-Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration (OFAPI) algorithms-1, 2, 3.
Postdoc position in granular mechanics and discrete element modeling
A postdoc position is available in the area of computational mechanics, in particular, granular mechanics and discrete element modeling (DEM), in support of a Department of Energy-funded research project on Integrated Process Optimization for Biochemical Conversion. This is a multidisciplinary research project with collaborations between multiple academic institutions and the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory.
Funded Ph.D. position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering- Engineering Mechanics at the Michigan Technological University. Starting September 2018.
We are looking for a self-motivated PhD student to study Machine Learning enabled computational models for applications in Biomedical Imaging and Multi-Scale Material Modeling.
This project will draw ideas from various subjects including Computational Mechanics, Machine Learning and Materials Physics. This is a collaborative project between MTU and University of Wisconsin, Madison.
The candidate would have access to the advanced computing facilities, collaborations with researchers in other universities, and experimental collaborations.
