Postdoc Position in Structural Mechanics

Submitted by jansen on

 

At Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institute of Structural analysis, a Postdoc position is currently available in the context of a three year project on cracks in photovoltaic modules. The objective of the project is the development of numerical models to simulate microcrack initiation and propagation in photovoltaic modules. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with a renowned solar energy research institute and an industrial partner.

Submitted by Jia Li on

Post-doctoral position is available in the area of ultrasonic material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (strong background and experience in ultrasonic
experiment and modeling are required
). The position is supported
from research grants. The focus area is ultrasonic study of
nonhomogenous materials like polycrystalline materials, composites and
adhesive bonds. State of the art ultrasonic laboratories
and other characterization facilities are available. More details will
be provided to interested individuals.

 

Abaqus Low cycle fatigue - Hysteresis Energy Criteria

Submitted by sidd04mech on

 

Hi,

I am trying to do Low cycle fatigue analysis in abaqus, and
according to the Documentation, for bulk material damage initiation and damage
evolution definition, I can use the criteria (and type for Damage evolution) as
"Hysteresis Energy". And have to define 4 material variables C1 to
C4.

But in the abaqus material library (in abaqus-CAE) i could find
all the other criteria but not the "Hysteresis energy". I also tried
to define it in the *.inp file but abaqus could not read it (apparently wasn't
writing it correctly).

How to transfer AutoCAD model to ANSYS? How to model a cyclic load in ANSYS?!?

Submitted by fa_6787 on

Hi everybody,

I am trying to model a connection in ANSYS and analyse it under cyclic load (Earthquake Load). first of all I have done my 3D model in Auto CAD but I dont know how to transfer this to ANSYS!!!

 

Also I have the graph for the cyclic load which is based on number of Cycles (x-axis) and storey drift (y-axis) but I dont know how I am supposed to model this in ANSYS!!!! can anyone help me and guide me through this?! Thank you very much.

PhD position at the University of Glasgow on “Modelling of geo-engineered barriers for underground nuclear waste storage”



This project will take place at the School of Engineering of the
University of Glasgow in the UK and will be jointly supervised by Dr
Domenico Gallipoli and Dr Peter Grassl. The project will develop the
simulation tools for predicting the long-term behaviour of
geo-engineered barriers used in the geological (underground) storage of
nuclear waste. A typical geological storage scheme for nuclear waste
