I need to learn Abacus for modeling impact dynamics of ductile plates. Can anyone recommend some tutorials, books, or courses that would be helpful?

Thanks,

research

Carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, …) have received significant attention from the academia and industry in the past two decades owing to their superior material properties. Mechanicians have played a major role in the fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials, and in their wide-range applications.

Lamb wave simulation - Problem with high Frequencies

Lamb wave + Abaqus + High Frequencies

I have prepared a very simple model in abaqus which is an Aluminum beam under A0 lamb wave. It wors perfectly with low frequencies andthe amplitude plot shows a clear one in various control points.

But when I increase the frequency to 200khz that nice and neat plot is not obtained. I have attached two plots 1-excitation wave 2- amplitude on control point

could you please advise as to why this happens on high frequencies and what is the solution to this ?

Post-doctoral position in computational solid mechanics at the University of Michigan

Submitted by Arruda on Thu, 07/18/2013 - 20:43

job

A one-year post-doc position is available immediately in the Arruda laboratory at the University of Michigan. The position is renewable, depending on performance. The project involves analytical and computational modeling of non-woven polymer fibrous networks during high strain rate deformation. Applicants should have a strong background in solid mechanics, including plasticity. Knowledge of polymers is a plus. Send application materials (including cv, list of publications, references and earliest start date) to arruda
