One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University, New York Long Island. The research program focuses on the mechanics and design of novel advanced materials and metamaterials to achieve high mechanical performance, new wave propagation features, and multifunctional characteristics. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply. 

Discussion of fracture paper #25 - The role of the fracture process region

Submitted by ESIS on

The subject of this blog is a fracture mechanical study of soft polymers. It is well written and technically detailed which makes the reading a good investment. The paper is:

"Experimental and numerical assessment of the work of fracture in injection-moulded low-density polyethylene" by Martin Kroon, Eskil Andreasson, Viktor Petersson, Pär A.T. Olsson in Engineering Fracture Mechanics 192 (2018) 1–11.

Dear Colleagues,

I am sharing a preprint on using first-principles simulations for gaining new insights into the thermomechanical processing of magnesium alloys. 

Title: Influence of thermomechanical loads on the energetics of precipitation in magnesium aluminum alloys

 Authors: Swarnava Ghosh and Kaushik Bhattacharya

Here is the link to the manuscript: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.11434

NURBS

Hi,

I am trying to use iso-geometric elements in LS-Dyna with the keyword *ELEMENT_NURBS_SHELL_PATCH. The job manager terminates without mentioning where the errors are.

Can someone help me with this? A sample .k file using the above keyword will be helpful.

Thank you!

Regards,

Harsha Reddy
