The Institute of Structural Analysis at Leibniz Universität Hannover invites applications for a
Scientific coworker / PhD Candidate (Salary scale E13 TV-L)
The position is available from now. The work should lead to a PhD thesis.
Tasks:
The effect of crystal size and initial dislocation density on surface roughness evolution in FCC single crystals during the early number of cycles of mechanical cyclic loading is investigated using three dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. Crystals having size less than 2 μm show early development of surface slip localization, while larger ones show a more uniform distribution of surface steps. The surface roughness is found to increase with increasing number of loading cycles with larger crystals showing a high roughening rate compared to smaller crystals.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the ASME Mechanics for Biology and Medicine Technical Committee and Constitutive Equations Technical Committee, I cordially invite you to submit an abstract to the following track:
12-9 Constitutive Modeling of Biological Tissues
The ASME/IMECE 2016 will be held from November 11 to November 17, 2016 in Phoenix, AZ (https://www.asme.org/events/imece)
Abstract submission deadline: March 07, 2016
Hello.
I'm doing piezoelectric analysis using abaqus CAE v6.12.
Specifically, what I'm doing now is to make the bimorph piezoelectric harvester model using Abaqus CAE
and to validate my model.
My FE model is made based on the model developed by A Erturk and D J Inman in their paper,
'An experimentally validated bimorph cantilever model for piezoelectric energy harvesting from base excitations'
They presented the analytical solution for voltage output and experimental validation is also presented in this paper.

Who should attend
Improtance of modeling fatigue damage propagation is substantial given the ubiquity of fatigue-induced component failures across industries. A review of fatigue crack growth models along with a detailed discussion of recent experimental findings (substantiating the model assumptions) are presented (please see the pdf attachment below)
Various outcomes of slip-coherent twin boundary depending on the stress state and slip geometry (during the growth of a microstructurally short crack)
