I want to perform simulation usinng Ansys Autodyn or Abaqus. Acutally I am new to FEM softwares. For the simulation I want to use RHT concrete model, however, the concrete is has f'c of about 3000psi or 20Mpa or less. Ansys Autodyn has RHT models for 35Mpa and 140MPa concrete and Abaqus has none. Kindly if you can help me find out the parameters for 20Mpa concrete. If any tests are needed to find the parameters, kindly provide me a list and refer me any source.  

Having just filled a vacancy at Senior Lecturer level, we now have another opportunity at Durham, for a Lecturership in Applied Mechanics. This is a permanent position (subject to the usual probation period). Full details are on jobs.ac.uk The closing date is November 29th. The successful candidate will join the Mechanics Research group where our expertise lies in computational mechanics and geotechnical engineering (at present).

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the postdoctoral associate position in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on chemically reactive solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science.
