PhD Students/Post-doctoral Associates- North Carolina State University

Submitted by zikry on

Our group at North Carolina State University is hiring PhD students and Post-doctoral Associates in the areas of multiscale modeling, computational mechanics, fracture, and plasticity.

Interested parties should email  zikry [at] ncsu.edu, and send a cv with a few representative publications.

convert ANSYS results to ABAQUS or LS-DYNA results.

Submitted by behzad15922 on

Hi

 I use FEMFAT to predict the fatigue life of welded structures. FEMFAT can take the effect of plastic strain on fatigue life but the stress results should imported from ABAQUS or LS-DYNA. Since I've simulated the welding process in ANSYS, I want to know that is there any way to convert ANSYS results(file.RST) to ABAQUS(file.ODB) or LS-DYNA results(file.d3plot).

Postdoc position

Submitted by ravishm on

The Department of
Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening
for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2012. The position’s primary
area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and
characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at small length-scales. The
initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the
availability of funds. A strong background in solid mechanics with an expertise
in computational crystal plasticity and finite element modeling of

Vibration analysis with uncertainty properties

Submitted by hrbeu221 on

Dear all, 

 These days I am doing some research on vibration analysis with uncertain properties. In traditional, Monte Carlo Simulation is used to do this simulation. But the drawback is time-consuming for the determinstic analysis. 

 For this, how to solve this problem? Please help me on it. Please give me some suggestion on it.

 Thank you for your concern.

 

non linear visco elasticity

Submitted by rajasekhar18 on

Hi

 i am interested to study the morphology of polymeric membranes in non linear regime. I am in search of what actually a 'non linear behavior in a material represents'. Mathematically there are certain equations governing the non linear behavior. But my concern is how material behaves in non linear regime (under moderate to high stress). And what molecular and microstructural features contributes to the non linear behavior?. Can any one post me to under stand the micro sructural behavior of polymers in non linear regime. It would be useful help to me. 

General Return Mapping in the softening regime

Submitted by sakarapu on

The interpretation of general return mapping integration algorithm as closest point projection of the trial stress state leads to a lagragian with arguments as the state of the system. In the hardening regime, this lagragian is convex and newton's method guarantee uniqueness and convergence (Simo and Hughes). I am interested in the case when the lagragian is no longer definetively convex as could be the case in softening regime. Can anybody suggest me numerical techniques for this case?

Stress Relaxation

Submitted by Amit Pandey on

I would like to seek comments on : Room temperature stress relaxation and governing mechanisms that contribute to the plasticity that occurs during this process. As, most of the available work on relaxation is done at elevated temperatures.

 I have also attach papers by Prof Hart and Prof Krempl that did throw some light on this particular subject.

abaqus noGUI problem?

Submitted by Jiagui Liu on

hi everybody,

 I'm a fresh man in Abaqus. Recently, I find that  the command 'abaqus cae script=job.py' works very well, however, the command 'abaqus cae noGUI=job.py' doesn't work. But the the 'job.py' is exactly the same! By the way, the problem shown by abaqus is located in the output area, fieldfieldoutput and historyouput.

 Does anyone know the difference between them? 

Thank you in advance!
