ABSTRACT

One postdoc position at Singapore University of Technology and Design

Submitted by KevinGE on

Our group has one postdoctoral position opening supported by Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)-Digital Manufacturing and Design (DManD) Centre for the projects of design and fabrication of fiber reinforced composites, and nano/micro fabrication.
We are seeking self-motivated postdoctoral researchers with a strong background on solid mechanics and FEA simulation, and experience in composite fabrication, material preparation and characterization.

The successful candidate is required to have:

Underwater Soil Mechanics Problem

Submitted by dphull on

I am an undergraduate student conducting a research project involving the design of a tool to aid astronauts to perform experiments on lunar surfaces and would like to request some direction about which analytical tools would be best suited for this application (i.e. FEA or DEM software/techniques). The specific scenario of interest is to design a tool that can act as an anchor in a sand-like medium (regolith) on the surface of the moon.

Finite element analysis of beams

Submitted by Arifdjanov Abdulla on

In this section, the basic principles of the finite element analysis of beams are considered. Beam given below we will divide into two elements by cutting it at the point A, B, C

 

We will make the equilibrium equations  nodes A , B, C . Equations are written so that you can clearly see the contribution of each element. For each element can define a list of indices. list of indices indicates in which equations contributes each element..

which kind of homogenization can we use?

Submitted by sedigheh on

hello every one.

If we consider dislocation effect( GNDs) that they have proportional relation with strain gradient, does it effect on way of homogenization or not? i mean at this situation can we use any methods of homogenization ? I'm looking into size effects at micro scale on macroscopic properties.i want to be sure if self consistent method is usable to as a method or not?

Postdoctoral Position in Applied Mechanics

Submitted by smuftu on

A post-doctoral position in the general area of continuum simulations of high-strain rate impact phenomena is available in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Northeastern University. The specific goal of the project is to investigate the mechanics of cohesion following high velocity impacts. Knowledge of finite element theory, contact mechanics, plasticity and cohesive zone using customized codes and Abaqus are required. Experience with writing own finite element codes, Abaqus user subroutines and Python code will be helpful for the position.
