6th International Workshop on Design for Civil and Environmental Engineering

Submitted by Flavio Stochino on

Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation.

MODELIZACIÓN AVANZADA DE PROCESOS DE FORJA DE SUPERALEACIONES BASE NIQUEL

La simulación numérica es una herramienta clave para la optimización de los procesos de forja y la correcta predicción de las propiedades finales de los componentes forjados. Tanto en el sector Aeronáutico como en el de la energía, entre otros, las aleaciones de base Niquel se utilizan en componentes críticos de alto valor añadido. Las altas prestaciones de estos componentes junto con el elevado coste de la materia prima conllevan a la necesidad de una correcta optimización de los procesos de conformado.

POST-DOC POSITION FOR NECKING AND DUCTILE FRACTURE CRITERION DEVELOPMENT

DESCRIPTION

Accurate modelling of sheet metal necking and ductile fracture is a key factor for the reliable numerical analysis of the stamping process feasibility of lightweight metals, such as ultra high strength steels and aluminium alloys.

What are Principal Stresses (explained without math equations) ?

Submitted by rajan_prithivi on

 

In the following video, I have tried to explain the concept of principal stress in a more physical way and without involving any mathematical equations, hope you can easily imbibe the concept.

Dear Friends, 

The Soft Materials Mechanics Technical Committee would like to remind you that JULY 19th is the deadline for presentation only abstract submission. The ASME will not extend this deadline!

Please consider submitting abstract to “Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids” Track (12), Topic 12-22, “Mechanics of Soft Materials”

 

 We are excited to host sessions related to the following topics:

PhD position in computational solid mechanics

Submitted by Arttu Polojärvi on

Aalto University (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, is looking for a doctoral student for a study on the breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks under compressive loads. The fragmentation process is complicated and requires the use of novel modelling methods that can be used reliably on different scales. In addition to the computational work, we will perform experiments on this topic. We start the work using our inhouse FEM-DEM code (other approaches can be also used), while the experiments will be performed in the cold room of our department.

Post doc position in computational solid mechanics

Submitted by Arttu Polojärvi on

We in Aalto Univeristy (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, look for a post doc to join our group for a study on the breakage and fragmentation of ice blocks under compressive loads. The fragmentation process is complicated and requires the use of novel experiments and numerical models, and in this research, you will be working on both. The unique experiments on this topic will be performed in the cold room of the department.  Numerical modelling will be done on a variety of scales.
