Lecturer (Above The Bar) in Dynamics, UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (Permanent)
The UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering seek to appoint an outstanding academic with a suitably strong record of research and teaching in Dynamics. Dynamics is a core discipline within Mechanical Engineering and has strong connections with Solid & Fluid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and most aspects of Control. It is also fundamentally important for other branches of engineering, including Civil, Electrical, Biomedical, and Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering.

Simpleware Case Study: Simulating Pore-Scale Chemical Transport
Image-based modelling can be used to analyse mass transfer phenomena through porous media, with particular applications to reservoir rock pore-throats networks. The aim of these analyses is to improve our understanding and characterisation of the way fluids move through variable pore-scales.
Using real geometries from micro-CT, this project involved generating a 3D model in Simpleware software for visualisation and processing prior to meshing and export to COMSOL Multiphysics® for studying chemical transport mechanisms.

Continuous transition between traveling mass and traveling oscillator using mixed variables
The interaction between cars or trains and bridges has been often described by means of a simplified model consisting of a beam loaded by a traveling mass, or by a traveling oscillator.Among others, two aspects are essential when dealing with masses traveling along flexible vibrating supports: (i) a complete relative kinematics; and (ii) a continuous transition between a traveling mass, rigidly coupled, and a traveling oscillator, elastically coupled with the support.
Impact Force plotting using Abaqus/Explicit
Hello Everyone
I am trying to simulate material dumping process from shovel onto mining dump truck. And for that i am using Abaqus/Explicit. When i plot the contact force of material falling onto truck body under gravity, it gives me the maximum value of 0.12e+11, where as a simple theoretical analysis shows that the resulting impact force for 100 tons of material falling under gravity should be 9e5 N. I am not been able to understand the reason that why Abaqus /Explicit is exaggerating the impact/contact force so much. And i dont know how to correct this thing.
