Multi-Scale Material Modeling

graphene

Polymeric Materials.

We are looking for a self-motivated PhD student to study Multi-Scale Material Modeling for different material systems such as Graphene and Polymeric Materials. This position is supported by the MEEM Department at MTU. This project will draw ideas from various subjects including Computational Mechanics and Materials Physics.

The candidate would have access to the advanced computing facilities, collaborations with researchers in other universities, and experimental collaborations.

Abaqus VUMAT

hypoplastic law

Please, I’m investing about the hypoplastic model for granular materials to study the behavior of sand under a dynamic excitation. I try to use the UMAT – VUMAT interface, Interface between UMAT (Abaqus/Standard) and VUMAT (Abaqus/Explicit) from http://www.soilmodels.info/ node17.html website.
