Research Scientist at IHPC, A*STAR, Singapore (SHM / Vibration and noise)

Submitted by Fangsen on

We have a Research Scientist position to fill.  Mainly two research directions:  use advanced computational methods and work with experimental researchers to do 1) structural health monitoring (SHM), 2) vibroacoustic analysis.  

Requirements:

PhD in Engineering / Physics or equivalent

Strong background in acoustics, vibro-acoustics, noise control, SHM/NDT

Experience in numerical simulation software such as ANSYS / ABAQUS, Virtual Lab / Acoustics, Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), SOLIDWORKS

What fatigue damage model do you suggest to use in numerical simulations?

Submitted by M. Khorashad on
I want to simulate fatigue damage of foams (like PVCs). What fatigue damage model do you suggest? What model is regularly used in Industry? is there any one who simulate fatigue damage in Abaqus?
 

subroutine interface to visit nodal displacements in Abaqus

Submitted by Oskar Xavier on

I wonder if there is any subroutine interface to have access to nodal ( not integral point ) displacement in abaqus DURING the analysis phase.  Suppose I have a field that is going to be used in UMAT and that is dependent on  displacements of all nodes (presumably stored in an array) from the last increment. Is this possible to be implemented within Abaqus?

Thank you all !
