Looking for an open PhD position in Computational Mechanics

FEA development

Dear all,

I'm currently achieving a Mines ParisTech post-master degree in computational mechanics at the Center for Metal Forming (CEMEF) in France. I'm looking to a career in computational mechanics software development. To reach this goal, I'm looking out for a PhD in this field. I'm more interested in numerical methods (software engineering) than in rheologic approach of materials. Remeshing methods, crack growth modeling, crash analysis, parallel computing or multidisciplinary optimization are attractive fields I would be motivated to work on.

Fracture Mechanics, Fundamentals and Applications, T.L. Anderson, CRC Press, 3rd Ed., 2004.



This book is in line with what Zhigang is teaching in class. Because Kejie and Widusha have already recommended this book, I would like to introduce you some other books as well as a different approach to cracks and Fracture Mechanics.

require data of AISI 304. pls help.

Dear all,

I am a student at the unversity of  Malta. Currenly I am working on my dissertation titled; laser forming of thin metal plate. My study is more focous on stainless steel AISI304.

I required data of temperature dependent properties(density, thermal,expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and yield stress). I found some websites which can provide me this data, however it is very expansive.

Can pls someone provide me this data?

 Thanks in advance

experimental mechanics

I’m working on optical method for displacement measurement. and this is interesting to know more about application and development of these methods like ESPI , SHEAROGRAPHY anf HOLOGRAPHY . for example i face with a company that climb their product can give displacement and so strain field in many material and many geometry even in 3-D shapes!!

Mechanics of in-surface buckling of one dimensional nanomaterials on elastomeric substrates

in-surface buckling
In this recently published paper on Nanotechnology, we studied the in-surface buckling mechanics of one dimensional nanomaterials on elastomeric substrates.  Simple analytical solutions are obtained for buckling wavelength and amplitude, which can be easily applied to the in-surface buckling of different nanomaterials, such as nanowires and nanotubes.  It is shown that in-surface buckling of nanomaterials has lower energy than out-of-surface buckling, which explains the experimental observance o

Analysis of beams with hole

Change in stress intensity factors

Hi everybody,

Is there any limits for using of LEFM?  I have modelled a beam with a penetration.I have moved the holes vertically in the beam and obtained the stress intensities for each movements at the corners of the hole. Now the hole is closing the edge, stress intensities in mode I and II, suddenly change values (positive to negative and vice versa)  what does this mean ?... Does it mean that I should limit my movements?,,,,

Thank you,

Parisa,
