PhD positions in mechanics of metamaterials at the University of Minnesota

Submitted by stefanogonella on

PhD positions in the broad area of mechanics of advanced materials and metamaterials are available in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella (http://personal.cege.umn.edu/~gonella/) at the University of Minnesota.

Current topics of interest include: 1) Nonlinear metamaterials, including soft architected lattices; 2) Topological and non-reciprocal metamaterials; 3) Tunable and programmable multifunctional materials and structures.

Postdoc Opening in Soft Robotics Modeling at Carnegie Mellon

Submitted by cmajidi on

The CMU Soft Machines Lab is accepting applications for a postdoctoral appointment in computational modeling of soft multifunctional materials and robotics. The postdoc will lead efforts to develop a physics-based computational framework for modeling heterogenous systems and structures composed of elastomers, fluids, and compliant materials.

Monte Carlo potts and Phase field

Submitted by multi_scaler on

Hi,

I have very recently started with Grain growth modeling and am currently learning the various methods.

I have managed to reproduce the results of Chen et al., PRB, 1994 using the phase field model. I was now trying

to focus my attention on reproducing the result using the Monte Carlo Potts model, essentially the formalism described

in Tikare et al., Acta Mat. 1999. using a python program. The code is still very rudimentary and am sure there is a lot

Crack initiation and propagation using ANSYS Software

Submitted by mahesh4319 on

I'm working on Crack initiation and propagation in Gravity dams using ANSYS Software.


I'm finding out crack path in the software.So far I've done seismic analysis and located the most vulnerable places for crack formation and possible length of crack. I'm not aware of modelling the crack and finding out its path.  So, I'm requesting you to help in establishing the procedure in ANSYS. 

Please give me some guidance.

please send me any journals, videos and study material which would be helpful.

Fracture Mechanics Parameters Calculation

Submitted by mahesh4319 on
I'm working on Fracture Mechanics of Gravity dams using ANSYS Software.
 
I'm finding out the fracture mechanics parameters SIF, Energy release rate, J-integral etc..
So far I learned finding out SIF. I couldn't able to find the remaining fracture mechanics parameters like energy release rate, J-integral etc.. 
 
S, I'm requesting you to help in establishing procedure to find out J-integral in ANSYS.
