PhD with 5 Years of R&D and Industrial Experience, Actively Seeking a Job/Research Position in Acoustics and Vibration/Vibro-acoustics/Structural Dynamics/Noise and Vibration

Submitted by kiransahu on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 14:39

I am an experienced professional in structure borne sound, structural and machinery dynamics, vibro-acoustics, and now actively looking for a career opportunity in R&Ds or in Industries. Ph.D. in acoustics & vibration, around 5 years of work experience in R&Ds and Industries, published articles in reputed international Journals and Conferences with modelling, simulation, testing and analysis experience backed by relevant course-works. In achieving this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined in arriving at my goals.

PhD studentship in Mechanics of Materials - Draping of non-crimp fabrics

Submitted by Helen Gardner on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 11:48

The aim of the PhD is to develop a micromechanical model for forming of non-crimp fabrics (NCFs), and use this to optimise the pre-forming process for manufacture of complex shapes. The work will include both experimental work and finite element modelling. The work will benefit from close links with industrial partners Formax (manufacturer of NCFs), Simulia (developers of Abaqus forming simulation tools) and Jaguar Land Rover.

Mechanical Self-Assembly of a Strain-Engineered Flexible Layer: Wrinkling, Rolling, and Twisting

Discussion of fracture paper #13 - Cohesive properties at ductile tearing

Submitted by ESIS on Tue, 02/02/2016 - 20:12

In this review of particularly readworthy papers in EFM, I have selected a paper about the tearing of large ductile plates, namely:

”Cohesive zone modeling and calibration for mode I tearing of large ductile plates” by P.B. Woelke, M.D. Shields, J.W. Hutchinson, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 147 (2015) 293-305.

meshfree meshless Materials Science Metals

The NUMISHEET 2016 is due to be held in Bristol, UK from 4th to 9th of September of 2016. Bristol is at the heart of UK’s aerospace, being home of many of the best of UK’s industry such as Rolls Royce defence, GKN Aerospace, BAE Systems and Airbus UK. Bristol also prides itself with a wide variety of cultural activities and a strong heritage. The NUMISHEET conference series is the most popular international conference on the area of the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes.
