We are looking for candidates who have strong background in mechanics to help us modelling and simulating of 2D and 3D nonconventional textile structures with negative Poisson’s ratio (auxetic textiles). The positions can be Research Assistant, Research Associate, PhD student or Postdoctoral Fellow depending on applicant’s previous experience.
We invite you to participate at our session on Physics and Mechanics of Ductile Failure: Modeling and Experiments at ASME 2016 IMECE to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, USA during November 11-16, 2016.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 7, 2016. The session is organized under Track 12, #12-35 Physics and Mechanics of Ductile Failure: Modeling and Experiments.
This work aims to comprehensively study the anisotropy of the hexagonal close-packed (HCP)-liquid interface free energy using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the modified-embedded atom method (MEAM). As a case study, all the simulations are performed for Magnesium (Mg). The solid-liquid coexisting approach is used to accurately calculate the melting point and melting properties. Then, the capillary fluctuation method (CFM) is used to determine the HCP-liquid interface free energy and anisotropy parameters.
Hi,
Im modeling soil nail wall subjected to freeze-thaw ( sinusoidal temp variation) by sequentioally coupled temp-displacement., using abaqus .i managed to capture the heat transfer and model the heaving. now im looking to define the interaction between soil and nail in order to obtain stress and strain distribution along nail. however, i donno to define the interaction and their property, was wondering if anyone can give me some advice over the matter ive mentioned.
Any help is really appreciated
Two positions for PhD students are available in Prof. Peng-Cheng Ma’s group in The Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The institute is one of the research unites affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it locates in Urumqi, China, a city with distinctively historic and cultural atmosphere. Major research activities in the group are: i) Carbon-based materials for structural and functional applications; 2) Polymer-based nanocomposites for engineering and environmental applications.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University has a tenure-track faculty position open in Solid Mechanics.
Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Preferred Qualifications: Candidates in the area of Solid Mechanics, with emphasis on composite materials. An experimental background is preferred. Highly qualified candidates in other areas of solid mechanics will also be considered.
The purpose of the current investigation is to determine numerical solution of time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with damping for Caputo's fractional derivative of orderα(1<α≤2). A meshless local radial point interpolation (MLRPI) scheme based on Galerkin weak form is analyzed. The reason of choosing MLRPI approach is that it dose not require any background integrations cells, instead integrations are implemented over local quadrature domains which are further simplified for reducing the complication of computation using regular and simple shape.
The context is the finite difference modeling (FDM) of the transient diffusion equation (the linear one: $\dfrac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \alpha \dfrac{\partial^2 T}{\partial x^2}$).
Two approaches are available for modeling the evolution of $T$ in time: (i) explicit and (ii) implicit (e.g., the Crank-Nicolson method).
It was obvious to me that the explicit approach has a local (or compact) support whereas the implicit approach has a global support.
