Postdoctoral research on bone fracture mechanics

Submitted by Rizhi Wang on Mon, 07/29/2013 - 15:53

job

One-year postdoctoral research on the fracture mechanics of bone is available at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. The project is a joint research between UBC Biomaterials (biomaterials.MTRL.ubc.ca) and the
Centre for Hip Health and Mobility (www.hiphealth.ca). The research is a combination of experimental studies (failure analysis,
mechanical testing, micro-CT imaging, laser scanning confocal microscopy

Doctoral Studentship in high strain rate properties of Nickel Alloys

Submitted by CliveSiviour on Mon, 07/29/2013 - 14:40

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford University has recently obtained an iCASE studentship funded by EPSRC and Rolls-Royce plc to perform research into the mechanical behaviour of metals at high temperatures and high strain rates. The studentship provides full funding (fees and stipend) at the home / EU level for 3.5 years.

Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL)

Dear All

I have a question regarding Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL). I have followed the ANSYS help, but even for the same geometry used by ANYS, the stress values on the submodel are very high and at the wrong position.

I was wondering if any one has a tutorial on Shell-to-Solid submodeling in ANSYS (APDL) or any hints regading this type of submodeling?

Thank you in advance

Graduate Research Assistant (PhD student) position in ME @ Georgia Tech

Submitted by aerturk on Sun, 07/28/2013 - 21:44

We are seeking a motivated PhD student (only a student currently in the US for an immediate start) to work as a Graduate Research Assistant in our NSF project titled "Metamaterial-Enhanced Electroelastoacoustic Energy Harvesting for Sensor Systems." This computational and experimental project will investigate electroelastoacoustically coupled linear and nonlinear metamaterial-inspired piezoelectric energy harvesting concepts for self-powered sensor systems.

Im a new user of abaqus subroutine.

Does anyone have some experience on using UMAT to do dynamic analysis?

Thanks

Tetrahedron volume weakness

Hi all,

There are several formulae allowing the computation of tetrahedral volume elements. The weakness of some of them is that they give negative volumes. This is due to the vector dot product and its direction. You must take care when using them.

You have to check your formula with some simple examples like the vertices of the following one: (1,0,0) , (0,1,0) , (0,0,1) , (0,0,0).

full-field measurements

finite element validation

The project deals with the development of a novel procedure for quantitative validation of finite element simulations with full-field optical strain measurements like digital image correlation. The work will be shared between numerical simulations and experimental work. This project has strong industrial relevence. Please note that the project can only be offered to EU/UK students.
