XFEM UDMGINI Abaqus, what is 'noel' in UDMGINI?
Does anyone know the exact meaning of the parameter 'noel' in the subroutine UDMGINI in Abaqus subroutine UDMGINI
the documentation is really bad...
thank u for ur help!!!

Nonlinear Size-Dependent Analysis of Elastic Tiny-Bodies
Many researchers have studied the effect of surface energy on the
elastic behavior of nano-structural elements based on Gurtin and Murdoch surface
model. Many of them, however, assumed that the surface energy depends only on
the 2D symmetric infinitesimal surface strains and neglects the second-order
products of surface strains/displacement gradients. Moreover, there are some
researchers assumed that the surface energy is independent on infinitesimal
rotation tensor and neglected all rotation
Kinetic Energy-Based Temperature Computation in Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The velocities of atoms in MD simulation are not objective quantities, which depend on the choice of the reference frame and sample size. In our previous study (node/3181), we discussed how to overcome this non-objectivity and compute the atomic stress objectively. In this blog, our newly published paper on temperature computation is attached, and the abstract is as follows.

PhD and Post-Doc positions in Computational Mechanics at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany
PhD and Post-Doc positions are now available at the Institut für Angewandte Mechanik of the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany. Both are full-time fixed-term positions for 2 years with the possibility of renewal.
Material Modelling
Hi all,
I doing modelling on soft clay behaviour which exhibit softening behaviour during constant strain loading. Here i followed a non-associated flow rule for better prediction of dilation . For the case of non-associated flow rule yield function and plastic potential function should not same i clear in that , my doubt is that we can use two different surface for yield and plastic potential function (eg: linear surface as yield surface and elliptical surface as plastic potential )?
Three PhD positions in Nanomechanics at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces three vacant PhD positions in the area of Nanomechanics. NTNU is responsible for educating 80% of the total master level engineers in Norway and represents academic eminence in technology and natural sciences as well as in other academic disciplines. The activity at NTNU includes international collaboration with a large number of industries and academic institutions. The topics of the three PhD positions are strongly connected to industrial applications.
SES 2013: Experimental Nanobiomechanics Symposium

Academic posts (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader/Professor) in Computational Mechanics(including Fracture Mechanics, Inelasticity and Geomechanics) Durham University, UK
Up to four posts are available to join an existing team including a number of recent young hires (Akkerman, Koziara, Coombs, Giani, Mao, Gonnet ... ) in a general engineering school which also includes computer science. We are now one of the largest groups in computational mechanics in the UK.
