Basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulations

Submitted by chandrashekhar… on

Dear all,

Can you please suggest me some basic papers and references in multiscale modeling and simulation of materials. I am quite naive in this field. I have some exposure to solid mechanics and finite element techniques. I understand that I need to study molecular dynamic simulations also, where again I need advice for basic references.  I would be thankful for your help.

Thanks and regards,

Shekhar

PhD Position in Geometric Mechanics at Georgia Tech

Submitted by arash_yavari on

I am looking for a new Ph.D. student to work on discretization of nonlinear elasticity using geometric and topological ideas. Requirements for this position are a strong background in solid mechanics and some background in differential geometry and analysis. If interested please email me your CV.

My research

Submitted by Huadong Yong on

One year ago, I finished a paper on the instability in the polymer.

However, this paper was rejected, which means that this paper made too little

progress in this subject. Thus, we submitted the extended abstract to the conference and full paper in my blog.

A question on plasticity

Submitted by Huadong Yong on

Recently, I have a question on the plasticity.As the plastic materials undergo the loading and unloading process. we can find the energy dissipation from the stress and strain relation curve. Then, my question is that the energy dissipation is generated during the loading process or unloading process?Thank you very much.

 

Flow Induced Vibration in pipe flow

Submitted by kdevarajanmts on

Hi all

 

I am doing flow induced vibration analysis in pipe using ansys workbench. First i created fluent model and this output(solution) is couple with tranient structural  setup. FInally the pipe gets displaced becuase of fluid pressure. After that i want to calculate the modes. So it is possible to couple transient structural solution to modal setup? I have tried but i didnt know how to couple modal analysis and transiest structural analysis. Please help me regarding in this.

 

Waiting for yours reply

 

Plasticity and non-Schmid effects

Submitted by Stefan C. Soare on

If slip is the only mechanism of
plastic deformation of a crystal and Schmid law governs the slip
activity, the overall response of an aggregate of such crystals
features the normality rule of classical plasticity, see
node/15347
for a rigorous recent proof. Any deviation from Schmid law is
referred to as a non-Schmid effect. In general, these effects may be
of two kinds: in addition to the resolved shear stress (on a slip
system), other stress components may influence slip activity or/and
the hardening of a slip system (representative examples for each kind
are described, for example, in Qin and Bassani(1992) and Spitzig

Plastic Spin

Submitted by Stefan C. Soare on

In the classical (rate-independent)
theory of metal plasticity, the plastic spin has been an issue of
research and debate for about thirty years. Judging by the content
of current publications on the topic (regarding modeling
possibilities, consequences and applications), it seems that the
concept has acquired a certain degree of acceptance, although no
rigorous justification, at theoretical level, has ever been provided.
In the attached preprint this matter is investigated starting from
