Submitted by liuliping on

Dear Colleagues:

We are organizing a track entitled "Mechanics of Multifunctional Materials" at PACAM XIII (May 22-24, 2013, Houston) (http://www.conferencetoolbox.org/PACAMXIII/CallForPapersDetail.cfm).  The tentative submission deadline is Jan 15, 2013.  Below is a brief description of the track.

 

Post-Doc in Molecular Dynamics

Submitted by rlueptow on

A post-doctoral researcher is sought for
molecular dynamics simulations of water and contaminant flow through polymeric
membranes.  The position will involve theory, molecular dynamics
simulations, and writing papers and proposals.  The ideal candidate will
have a PhD in physics, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering with
experience in molecular dynamics simulations.  Strong writing skills are
mandatory.  The appointment is for one year, starting as soon as
possible.  The research will be performed at Northwestern University,

Time step increments in ABAQUS

Submitted by s_gupta on

HI everyone,

I am actually pretty confused about how to determine the correct time step increment in ABAQUS in a non-linear analysis. I first faced this problem when I used Hashins damage to capture in-plane shear response of the composite . The response which is bilinear graph depends a lot on the initial time step I give for the analysis i.e., for some time steps there is no bilinearity , only a single straight line. This has led to great confusion in my mind whether my model has a problem or whether ABAQUS itself has this problem.
