We have PhD student positions available who are interested in soft tissue biomechanics of the brain. Work will involve developing sophysticated, yet efficient computational models of the human brain to study the mechanisms of brain injury. This work is supported by NIH grants.

In addition, we have openings for visiting students or visiting scholars who have their own funding to stay in the lab. 

Interested applicants please contact: Songbai.Ji [at] dartmouth.edu

For visiting positions, please clarify your funding sources and the eligibility to work in the lab.

Finding drag and lift coefficients using Ansys APDL and/or fluent?

Submitted by amin013 on

Basically, I want to find the lift and drag coefficients for a fluid (air) flowing over a prismatic triangular cross-section, any suggestions, where  can I find some tutorials to begin with.

After I get started, I'm interested to find those coefficients for different angles of attack.

Hi friends;

I have three volumes with different materials, I want to define material properties for them in workbench 14, but acp module isn't in it. 

How should I define material properties for every layer from volume? Is any way in workbench14 or I should install workbench 15?

my model in workbench is below:

please help me.

Regards.

Dear Subscribers 

I am a new abacus user and I am trying to simulate the interaction between two

the surfaces of 2 different parts and materials. Does anybody knows how can I proceed 

in this simulation procedure. With pleasure any answer will be helpful from my work.

Thank you in advance

The stress intensity factor and Young's Modulus

Submitted by Adjal on

The stress intensity factor and Young's Modulus 

It is evident that stress intensity factor considered as  the most important factor in fracture mechanics which used for evaluating the stress state near to tip crack . However this factor depends up many parameters (such us normal loading, cracks size and its geometry). my question is as follow 

The stress intensity factor is depend of Young's modulus, How to identify the effect of Young's modulus on the variation of stress intensity factors.

high strain rate
ultra-high speed imaging

This project is part of a larger effort aiming at designing the next generation of high strain rate tests of materials based on modern ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. This project is partly funded by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) who have an interest in high strain rate behaviour of carbon fibre polymer matrix composites. The selected candidate will join a group of half a dozen researchers working on similar topics as part of the Photodyn project (www.photodyn.org).
