Master/Slave surfaces in abaqus, what is the concept?
Could some one kindly explain me what is the advantages of using master/slave surfaces in contact problems? Indeed, when we should use master/slave strategy? Best

Marie Curie Post-Doc position in Computational Thermomechanics at VESUVIUS (Belgium): deadline May 30, 2015
You will be hired for a 24 months assignment starting as soon as possible by
Vesuvius Company (Belgium) on a FP7 Marie Curie-IAPP project, in cooperation with
a very active group in Solid Mechanics at University of Trento.
The candidate will implement the constitutive models developed for high- temperature behaviour
of materials in external routines for finite elements computations and tested to judge the
numerical stability and accuracy. The software will be subsequently employed in the design

How to Design and Optimize Axial Turbines and Compressors Stages Webinar | 27 May
This one hour free webinar will present design and optimization approaches for systematic design of high performance axial turbines and compressor stages. During the session we will highlight the key advantages of using 3D Inverse Design and TURBOdesign Suite for the design and optimization of all axial rotors and stators, including unique component and stage matching capabilities to help shorten the design times and costs, while achieving high efficiency and reliability.
During the webinar we will highlight three design cases:
abaqus simulationn of tofd
Dear friends,
I am doing simulation of TOFD. Fortunatly I got some result.but my results are not as i expected .and timing of signal also not exactly matching with my experimental signal. hear i attach a image of what i got and what i expect. I am expecting some answer from this forum.
thank you
Professor Huajian Gao to Receive Nadai Medal
Brown University Professor of Engineering Huajian Gao has been selected to receive the 2015 Nadai Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for groundbreaking contributions to hierarchical nanotwinned metals, energy storage materials, metallic glasses, and diffusional creep of metal thin films.
Median Review Time of all ASME Journals
I attended an ASME meeting during which the Managing Director of ASME Publishing reported on the ASME publications.
Please find two of his slides related to the ASME journals, in which he singled out JAM for its rapid publication. The first slide is the median review time (from submission to editor’s final decision) in 2014 for all 27 ASME journals, for which JAM is the fastest -- 2 months (in 2014). The second slide gives the median review time from 2010 to 2015 for JAM, and the newest data point is 1.2 months for 2015.
Temperature induced crack propagation in structured media
This paper describes the propagation of an edge crack in a semi-infi nite triangular lattice, consisting of identical point masses connected by thermoelastic links. A change of temperature, represented by a time-periodic series of high-gradient temperature pulses, is applied at the boundary of the lattice. In order to make the initial crack advance in the lattice a failure criterion is imposed, whereby the links break as soon as they attain a prescribed elongation.
