Master Mechanics of Materials and Structures for Civil Engineering and Transportation Systems, University Paris-East, France

Submitted by Julien Yvonnet on

The master Mechanics of Materials and Structures for Civil Engineering and Transportation Systems (MMSCT) is a one-year program offered at UPEM (University Paris-East Marne-la-Vallée), France (20 min from Paris center by transportations). The program aims at providing the students with deep scientific and technical knowledge about the multiscale modelling, over a broad range of scales, of complex materials and structures.

Postdoctoral position on multiscale modeling of microstructural development

Submitted by Javier LLorca on

IMDEA Materials Institute is looking for a post-doctoral researcher
(PhD in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Materials Science) (Ref: PD02-VIR) to work in the research project VIRMETAL (virtual design, virtual processing and virtual testing of metallic materials) funded by an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council. Research activities will be focused in the development of multiscale modeling strategies –based on the phase-field method– to simulate the microstructural development during solidification as well as during thermo-mechanical treatments in Al and Mg alloys.

Comparing performance of user subroutines in Abaqus

Submitted by compmech on

Dear Mechanics community,

My current research work is focused on simulation of NiTi stents.

I need to benchmark my UMAT subroutine against inbuilt VUMAT subroutine for SMA in Abaqus.

It would be great to have suggestions on how can I go ahead on this task (like typical benchmark analysis, simulation of CAD models etc.,).

The basic idea is to analyse the limits of both the subroutines.

Warm Regards,

CompMech enthusiast...

What's That Stuff

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

A few years ago I bought a Chinese book titled 你身边的化学.  The book contains articles about chemistry in everyday life.  The authors collected these articles from magazines and websites, and translated them into Chinese.  In particular, the authors mentioned a column, called “What’s That Stuff”, in Chemical & Engineering News.
