Minisymposium -X-DMS Conference Ferrara 9-11 Sept 2015: Phase field and enhanced finite element formulations for fracture mechanics

Submitted by J.Reinoso on

Dear colleagues,

as part of the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference X-DMS 2015 on EXTENDED DISCRETIZATION METHODS to be held in Ferrara, Italy, 9-11 September 2015 (http://x-dms2015.sciencesconf.org/), we are jointly co-organizing the mini-symposium entitled “Phase field and enhanced finite element formulations for fracture mechanics”

How to make a link between Abaqus and Fortran

Submitted by Rampa on

Hi mates

I am trying to make a link between Abaqus and Fortran. I faced a problem and have tried whatever recommended on the internet. But there is still something wrong!

I would really appreciate it if you could let me know your idea on how to resolve the problem. The error reported by "abaqus verify -user_std" has been brought, below. In fact, all requirements were recognized but at the end it is written that "Abaqus did not complete successfully".

Postdoctoral position in mechanobiology, Buffalo, New York

Submitted by ruogang zhao on

One postdoctoral position will be available in Fall, 2015 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY). The research area will focus on using bio-MEMS techniques to create novel cell culture platforms for cell mechanics and mechanobiological studies. Projects may involve studies of the fibrosis diseases, cancer invasion and stem cell differentiation. Some research topics can be found on our website at http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~rgzhao/index.html

Asymmetric flexural behavior from bamboo’s functionally graded hierarchical structure: Underlying mechanisms

Submitted by Yang Lu on

As one of the most renewable resources on Earth, bamboo has recently attracted increasing interest for its promising applications in sustainable structural purposes. Its superior mechanical properties arising from the unique functionally-graded (FG) hierarchical structure also make bamboo an excellent candidate for bio-mimicking purposes in advanced material design. However, despite its well-documented, impressive mechanical characteristics, the intriguing asymmetry in flexural behavior of bamboo, alongside its underlying mechanisms, has not yet been fully understood.

Development of a Biofidelic Human Head Model from MRI data

Submitted by Simpleware on

 

Traumatic brain injuries from head impact are a major issue across areas such as defence, automotive and sports, and can be costly to research using experimental testing. These injuries can be explored, though, through 3D models created from scan data and computer simulations.
