A fully-funded Ph.D. position is available with a start date of Spring 2016 or Fall 2016 at the Computational Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory (http://www3.villanova.edu/biomech/) at Villanova University which is located in the greater Philadelphia area (http://www.villanova.edu).
Dear iMechanica community,
I came across a problem in plasticity for which I am unable to find a reference in the literature and kindly ask your advice.
Hi,
i am simulating a heat transfer in soil using umatht subroutine.need to specify the variation of the temp as a solution dependent variable??
Anyone have any idea how can i do that in abaqus/cae or is there anyway to do that by editing keyword(indirectly)?
eny help is realy appreciated,
A postdoc position is available in the Department of Engineering Technology, University of North Texas-Denton in the fields of crystal resonator modeling and experiment. Candidates should have a PHD degree in engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering and should have some experiences in the following:
(1) In-depth understanding of piezoelectric theory and crystal resonators,
(2) Proven publication record on crystal resonator modelling or experiment,
(3) Fundamental knowledge on tensor analysis and transformation,
After several years of research in the area of additive manufacturing, biofabrication, and additively manufactured biomaterials and implants, I finally put up the first version of the website of my lab. I will gradually improve the website, but there is already links to all publications coming out of my lab in the general area of AM.
Hi, I have used langrangian framwork proposed by Needleman in 1994 to model materials' failure under compression. In this model cohesive elements were inserted along solid elements boundary.
hi all,
i am working on abaqus and using umat subroutine.
after i wrote a simple example code(isotropic) on fortran language and make a model on abaqus, i tried to run it together. it is worked.
after, i changed the simple code to my own code(anisotropic code) and run it with abaqus. i
the result is following:
too many increment made for this increment.
for step 1 converge but not step2 step 3 step4.
I tried to reduce the time increment but not way even the mesh i changed.
the time step i used is dynamic implcit
A postdoc position is available in the Computational Mechanics Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas. The research will focus on high-performance computing application in the general field of computational mechanics. The potential candidate shall have a Ph.D. degree in mechanics, mechanical engineering and related areas with emphasis on computation and simulation and integration with experiments. The project will involve extensive programming on HPC platforms.
PhD position(s) are available for Spring 2016 semester to perform theoretical and computational work on phase field modeling of variaous structural changes in engineering materials and modeling of interaction between phase transformations and plasticity. MS degree and background in continuum and computational mechanics is required. Please send vita to Prof. Valery Levitas (vlevitas [at] iastate.edu (vlevitas[at]iastate[dot]edu)).
