Uniaxial deformation of tungsten nanopillars/nanowires/nanotubes: Atomistic and coarse-grained atomistic simulations

Submitted by Shuozhi Xu on

Dear Colleague,

In the last two years, we published six papers on uniaxial deformation of tungsten nanopillars/nanowires/nanotubes using atomistic and coarse-grained atomistic simulations:

One last open position in the Computational Nanomaterials Lab at the University of Miami!

Submitted by Luis Ruiz Pestana on

A fully funded Ph.D. position is currently available at the CompNano Lab in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami (https://www.compnanomiami.com/). Our group uses tools from engineering mechanics, statistical physics, and computational chemistry to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing the remarkable anomalous behavior of nanostructured materials.

Abaqus left eigenvalue and eigenvector

Submitted by Gil Ho Yoon on

Dear all,

 

I am working on the subject of the instability problem using Abaqus. 

One of the representative examples may be the squeal noise. 

 

In the Abaqus simulation, we have the difficulty in obtaining the left eigenvectors. 

 

It seems that the following comments do not work properly to obtain the left eigenvectors. 

 

Does anyone know how to obtain the left eigenvectors in SIM?

Postdoctoral Position in Discrete Element Method Simulations

Submitted by tmattevans on

 

I am currently looking to hire a postdoc to work on DEM modeling of dynamic problems and impact events. The ideal candidate will have strong programming skills (C++/Python) and existing experience with open source software and GUI development. Full details may be found at this link. The announcement lists a start date of September 1, but this is flexible.
