Chanseok Jeong, PhD., Assistant Professor,
The Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics, DTU Wind Energy, is seeking a PhD student for an experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades. The PhD scholarship is part of the OPTI_MADE_BLADE project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark. The project targets the development of design and manufacturing solutions for large (>70m) offshore wind turbine blades.
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:
The J-integral based criterion is widely used in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. However, it is not rigorously applicable when plastic unloading appears during crack propagation. One difficulty is that the energy density with plastic unloading in the J-integral cannot be defined unambiguously.
I have received the Ph.D degree in State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmission from Chongqing University, Chongqing, P. R. China, in 2015. Now I am employed as associate professor in the College of Mechatronics and Automotive Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China. I am looking for a post-doc position or visiting scholar in the relevant field of machinerysystemdynamics.

Biosourced composites and polymers for tommorow’s structural applications
I need a matlab code for measuring intermetallic layer thickness of Cu-Sn binary alloy during soldering.
I will use the result for Characterization of intermetallic layer and also time based analysis of mechanical failure.
I would be really grateful to the person who can help me over this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi every one!
I'm working on developing a shell element to be implemented in ABAQUS through UEL.
It's going through a static analysis. and as you may know for static analysis, ABAQUS just needs AMATRX and RHS to be defined via UEL. It must be mentioned that the stiffness matrix is changing at each time increment. The force that has been applied, is a concentrated force and a function of time.
I've defined the RHS as:
RHS=-[K]*{U}
where [K] is the stiffness (AMATRX) matrix and {u} is the displacement vector at each time increment.
