can any body give simple example about mappe face meshing in ansys

thank you

The superelastic response of NiTi shape memory alloys under various loading conditions is experimentally investigated using thin-walled tube specimens. The isotropic relation between the elastic and shear moduli of austenite and martensite as well as the von Mises stress and strain equivalency are also studied in uniaxial tension and pure torsion. In addition to proportional loading, several non-proportional loading experiments based on both force and displacement control modes are conducted.

Structures and Compoiste Materials Lab in Hanyang University, SEOUL, Korea, seeks several post-doctoral fellows and MS-PhD candidates in the following areas of composite materials:

1. CAE simulation of mechanical behavior of composite materials and structures (impact, buckling, fatigue, etc..)

2. manufacturing of composite materials (thermoset or thermoplastic composites)

3. multiscale damage analysis of composite materials and structures.

4. design of composite structures

Friction and wear are important processes that determine the function of many mechanical devices, but their underlying microscopic physical principles are complex and often not well understood. Amorphous – or glassy – materials often form on surfaces that have experienced frictional loading. The research will involve large-scale molecular dynamics simulation of the near-surface deformation upon indentation and scratching of network and bulk metallic glasses.

The University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) includes nine schools with more than 10'000 students. In a joint program with the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at Uni Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute, we are looking for you to join the FHNW School of Engineering, Institute of Polymer Engineering, in Windisch, Switzerland, at the earliest possible date:

PhD position in hierarchical composite materials

I need to do vibration analysis of masonry building at certain points on the model. I do have numbers of time history data files (first column = time, second column = acceleration), which need to be applied at certain parts on the model (ranging from 1st floor to 3nd floor) . 

From my understanding, the time history data can be inputted in Amplitude>tabular and set the BC as acceleration.

However, is it possible to apply time history functions as load to a certain points on model (ABAQUS program)?

Helps needed.

npj Computational Materials is an online only, fully open access journal dedicated to publishing original results, review articles, and editorials on materials by design and integrated computational and experimental materials research.

Topics of interest to the journal include, but not limited to the following:

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship fully funded by the EU research project. The position is for a three-year research program leading to the PhD degree.

This project focuses on fracture and failure mechanism of metallic foams. The project will focus on extreme loads such as impact and blast. Metallic foam is lighter and does better in a crash than regular old metal or fiberglass. Check out the recent wired article on foam http://www.wired.com/2014/12/aluminum-foam-trains/.
