graduation project request

Submitted by anis turki on

My name is Anis Turki, I am an engineering student at the Tunisia Polytechnic School.

Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) is the first high school of engineers in Tunisia. It provides a  multidisciplinary training for its students. Its main purpose is to enable them to assume both technical and administrative responsibilities.

As a future engineer from TPS, I will be able to design, analyze and manage some complex systems thanks to versatile study program including theoretical and applied training in mathematics, physics, economics and languages.

Question in sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis using ABAQUS

Submitted by ganesh.anandakumar on

I was wondering if anyone has solved a “sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis” problem using ABAQUS?

If so, here is what I am looking to solve.

Let’s assume we solved for the temperature (T) as a function of time and space using the transient heat transfer analysis given certain BCs.

Clarifications o Stroh formalism

Submitted by Ramesh Babu.Manda on

sir,

I am solving some problomes for Stresses around holes for Anisotropic cases. In this connection most of authors have solved the stresses in cartesian co-ordinates only. Can I have any papers which are solved in polar co-ordinates by Stroh formalism for Stresses around holes in Composite laminates.So kindly help me

thanking you

von Karman plate equations

Submitted by Rui Huang on

Many of us (including myself) have used the nonlinear equations for elastic plates, originally proposed by von Karman (1910). I recently came across a book with some interesting comments about the plate equations, which may be of interest to share with others on imechanica. The book's title is "Plates and Junctions in Elastic Multi-Structures", authored by Philippe G. Ciarlet and published by Springer-Verlag in 1990.

Looking for a postdoctoral position in materials science and engineering

Submitted by 329878819@qq.com on

Dear all

I am looking for a postdoctoral postion/research fellow in materials science and engineering. My background and skills in lab techniques will prove to be an effective match for your qualification.

I have a master' degree in materials science and engineering and will get my PhD degree of materials science and engineering at the end of 2010' spring. I have been focused on the field of TiAl-based alloy, with particular attention on smeling and casting, phase transformation, numerical simulation of flow field using ANSYS for four years.

how to start a research

Submitted by mbmohan on

hi all,

 I am a mechanical engineer currently pursuing Master degree (Post graduation). Ultimately i also want to pursue a research leading to PhD after my master's. Its my burning desire to do some significant research in the field of Fatigue analysis using Fracture mechanics approach preferably for aerospace domain using advanced CAE softwares like Nasgrow, Afgrow, Abaqus, FE-safe, MSC Fatigue, etc,..

I'm looking for a new vibration exciter

Submitted by haitao hu on

I'm looking for a new vibration exciter which exciting frequency can reach 300hz .I'll use it to load the cantilever beam specimen , compare the  fatigue life of the specimen under different loading frequency. the electric exciter can not  generate the same amplitude under difference exciting frequency.

who can tell me that how can I found or design a mechine to finish the expriment.thank you
