Design Optimization Software HEEDS v5.3 Released
Red Cedar Technology recently released its latest version of their design optimization and process automation software, HEEDS v5.3. It has direct interfaces to Abaqus, LS-DYNA, and other tools.
Check out the press release, or go read about the new features.
Maximal energy that can be converted by a Dielectric Elastomer Generator
Mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy by using a dielectric elastomer generator. The elastomer is susceptible to various modes of failure, including electrical breakdown, electromechanical instability, loss of tension, and rupture by stretch. The modes of failure define a cycle of maximal energy that can be converted. This cycle is represented on planes of work-conjugate coordinates, and may be used to guide the design of practical cycles.
need suggestion
i have to make a 2d model of a HP 12 *74 pile having a I section. the pile is 30 feet long.... can anyone suggest me how should i start???? or else can any suggest me where i should look for a help to start off...
Looking for a PhD Position in welding Engineering
I did my Master in Material Science from IIT Roorkee in year 2007. Worked on GMAW of steel to aluminum joint in ISF, Aachen University, Germany under DAAD fellowship. Joined in Tata Steel Research and Development Division, India. Working in the field of Welding and Joining. Work on Adhesive Bonding and Weld Bonding of Advanced High Strength Steel sheets for automobilr. Now working on MIG-Brazing of High Strength GA steel sheets for automobile and also work on Friction Stir Welding of EIF steel to steel and EIF steel to Aluminum alloy sheets. Now looking for a PhD position preferably in Europe to do research in Welding Area.
Addendum To Pressure and Chemical Potential - a question on hydrostatics
The question was raised in class as to what the appropriate equilibrium condition for a column of fluid at rest should be. Specifically, given we expect a hydrostatic gradient in pressure with height, whether the chemical potential must be the same throughout the column was questioned. Here are my first thoughts. In brief, I assert that the chemical potential must be everywhere identical, and that the pv term is balanced, at every height in the column, by the potential energy conferred by position in a gravitational field.
Localization of Inelastic Deformation 2009
Dear colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 14-18 September 2009.
More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2009.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

Abaqus 3D model and 2D meshed cross-sections
I have a 3D model in Abaqus of a wind turbine rotor, modelled with shell elements (S4R and S3). To use the same blade in an aeroelastic wind turbine code (HAWC2 from Risoe), I want to convert selected cross sections of the 3D model to Timoshenko beam elements.
Coupling Abaqus with an aeroedynamic code - PART 2
In a previous post some months ago (see here), I mentioned some of the questions I had considering the aeroelastic response of a wind turbine rotor. In this post I just want to give, for those interested, a brief status report.
