Immediate opening for a PhD student in the area of computational materials and mechanics

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

There is a PhD (RA) position available starting in the spring 2013 in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T- formerly known as University of Missouri-Rolla). MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the Us (http://mse.mst.edu).

The Ph.D. research project is about developing a multi-phase-field model for multi-component alloy solidification.

Post-doc Position at Dept of MEA at University of Miami

Submitted by Qingda Yang on
We have a likely opening for a postdoctoral theorist to work with Dr. Qingda Yang (University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida) and Drs. Dave Marshall and Brian Cox (Teledyne Scientific Co LLC, Thousand Oaks, California).  The project involves development of advanced computational methods for simulating discrete damage evolution in composite materials and the application of simulations to the interpretation and analysis of experiments, including new high temperature mCT and image correlation experiments being conducted at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara, respectively.

Strain energy density function of a Transversely Isotropic Material

Submitted by ramdas chennamsetti on

Hi all,

I was going through Constitutive Modeling in Continuum Mechanics. I came across the Transversely Isotropic Materials (TIM). I have a couple of doubts, which are listed in the attached pdf file. I request the Continuum Mechanicians to clarify.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

ABAQUS User Material Definition

Submitted by bagheriasl on

 

Dear
receiver

I am writing elastoplastic vumat
with abaqus commercial code. I thoroughly am expert at the definition of
constitutive equation but have a problem with the commands of the VUMAT.

For
example I have a problem with the definition of material properties such as
expansion, conductivity, coefficient of n and k at power law hardening and ….

Is
there any specific command for defining the material properties?  For example I have to use Props(nprops) for
it?

Looking for a Post-Doc position on Computational Geomechanics

Submitted by KamalCDas on

My name is Kamal C. Das and I am doing research on Computational Geomechanics at IIT Kharagpur,
India. I have submitted my Ph.D. thesis, titled 'Enriched Finite Element Method
and Application in Reinforced Jointed Rock Mass' on August 21, 2012. Currently,
I am looking for a post doctoral position.

To
introduce myself as a researcher, I had a bachelor and master degree in
Mathematics. As I always wanted to see myself
solving mathematical problems with direct applications, I started my career as
