Invite speakers for talks on SIAM conference on life science

Submitted by dolken on

There is a SIAM conference on life science on August, 2014. See website  http://www.siam.org/meetings/ls14/



I want to organize a minisymposium on topic of "soft tissue modeling
by bio-mechanics". The organizer is responsible for inviting three more
speakers. I would like to know if any of you have interest considering yourself as one of the speakers for a 25
minute talk. If the application of this minisymposium is successful,

Postdoctoral Opening: Granular Physics (Experiment)

Submitted by mmbandi on

Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position in Experimental
Granular Physics with the Collective Interactions Unit at the Okinawa
Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). Our group is broadly
interested in experimental softmatter physics, continuum mechanics, and
applied mathematics, and their application to biologically inspired
questions. Our current emphasis is on interfacial fluid dynamics,
disordered granular solids, and biomechanics of the human foot. For

Cohesive Analysis with Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by madmaxx on

Hello all,

I'm trying to model composite delamination under non-severe impact on layered composites in ABAQUS/Explicit.

To begin with, I've modeled a 2D aluminum with a finite very low thickness cohesive layer with traction-separation behavior between. Then, I give some displacement to the middle-top node to simulate an impact scenario. However, even in this simple configuration, I'm having stress distribution problems when the models with cohesive layer between and without cohesive layer are compared.
