In this paper, we studied the strain rate dependent failure properties of human diaphragm tissue using uniaxial tensile testing at four strain rates, i.e. 0.0015/s, 65/s, 130/s and 190/s. The custom made quasi-satatic and drop tower based dynamic test setups was used to conduct the tests uptill 200/s strain rate.
A postdoctoral position is available in the area of characterizing the mechanical properties of biological materials. The primary objective is to use experimental methods to investigate the mechanical response of soft tissues. The candidate is responsible to develop and carry out the experiments, analyze the results, and develop computational models to understand the measured properties. Please note that applicants must have previous experience with conducting experiments on soft tissues or soft materials and they are required to have a Ph.D.

Dear all,
Currently, I have a FE mesh and want to apply pressure load on part of the surface. Anybody has suggestions on how to convert the pressure load to nodal force theoretically and numerically?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
A new approach to optimizing a hydrodynamic design of pump diffuser is presented, based on a three-dimensional inverse design method and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The blade shape of the diffuser was designed for a specified distribution of circulation and a given meridional geometry at a low specific speed of 0.109 (non-dimensional) or 280 (m3 /min, m, rpm).
We present a method of modeling nanoparticle (NP) hydrophobicity using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG MD) simulations, and apply this to the interaction of lipids with nanoparticles. To model at a coarse-grained level the wettability or hydrophobicity of a given material, we choose the MARTINI coarse-grained force field, and determine through simulation the contact angles of MARTINI water droplets residing on flat regular surfaces composed of various MARTINI bead types (C1, C2, etc.).
We're running free workshops on using Simpleware software for 3D image visualisation, analysis and model generation from June 6-9 in Lancashire, UK.
Join us for these introductory sessions to learn the basics of the software and how to apply it to applications in the Life Sciences, Materials Science, Industrial Reverse Engineering and Non-Destructive Engineering, and many more.
Dates
June 6 - Lancaster
