PhD studentship on Validation of crystal plasticity models in 3D policrystals at Portsmouth University (UK)
Fatigue life prediction in the aerospace components relies on fracture mechanics for relatively long cracks (>1mm). Nevertheless, most of the fatigue life is spent while the crack is relatively short (<1mm). However life of short cracks is far from well understood leading engineers to apply over conservative safety factors which involves environmental and economic losses. The material microstructure is responsible for the large life uncertainty in short cracks.

Development and application of a microstructure-based approach to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using XFEM
We develop a microstructure-based model to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using an extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate martensite cracking on the mesoscale combined with representative volume element (RVE) modeling. A mini tensile test with digital image correlation (DIC) analysis is linked to local SEM analysis to identify the local strain at which failure is initiated.

Multiple postdoctoral associate positions in virtual surgery at RPI
Description & Requirement
The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites applications for multiple postdoctoral associate positions to work on projects funded by the NIH on developing virtual surgery technology. The ideal candidate will develop the next generation surgical simulation technology based on advanced physics-based computational methods and robotic systems in collaboration with surgeons at Harvard Medical School.
Abstract deadline approaching - 37th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science: "Understanding performance of composite materials – mechanisms controlling properties"
The deadline of Abstract submission for the 37th Risø International Symposium is the 15th March 2016. The theme of the symposium is the scientific basis for understanding the performance of composite materials.
Cylindrical coordinate system
Hi everybody,
I want to enter coordinate of many points in Cylindrical coordinate system in solidworks, But I don't know how should do this work.
please help me.
