Closed: Research Fellow (PhD) position in ISRO funded project
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has funded a 2 year project to BITS Pilani (Goa and Hyderabad campuses). The simulation project will model atomistic fracture in amorphous silica, with application to the Thermal Protection System (TPS) of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV).
Details of application are mentioned in the attachment.
DEADLINE approaching (February 28th, 2017): USNCCM Montreal Mini-symposium on Computational Geomechanics
Dear colleagues,
Input-output economics
These notes are a part of the notes on linear algebra.
In lecture, I have been using this google doc, which contains more tables.
Ballistic impact simulation of composite targets in AUTODYN?
In general we use Johnson-Cook model for bullet, which accounts for strain-rate effects, while for the target (Composites), the we use orthotropic constitutive model. Does it mean that strain-rate effects are not important for composites? The Johnson-Cook model cannot be readily used for composites. How does the AUTODYN considers strain rate effects for composites in ballistic impact simulations?
DEADLINE for abstracts: 28 Feb. 2017 -- USNCCM14, Montreal, Canada
Dear Colleagues,
14th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM14) will be held in Montreal, Canada, 17 – 20 July, 2017. As part of this meeting, we are organizing a symposium (MS710) to bring together experts in modelling, simulation, manufacturing and experimental investigation in the field of soft materials to present and discuss recent advances. Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to)
Sandia Fracture Challenge Update
Supplemental information for the third Sandia Fracture Challenge (SFC) is now available! We have compiled the supplemental information promised in the original information packet and some additional information based on questions we received from participants. The supplemental information includes electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data on the Challenge geometry, additional base material tests, raw DIC images and examples of DIC analyses of base material tests, and additional boundary condition information.
