PhD Position available

Submitted by samhuang on

 

Multiscale material design group  in SUNY at StonyBrook is looking for two qualified candidates pursuing PhD degree starting in Fall 2015.

 

One position is on multi-scale simulations ( use MD, FEA) and conducting experiments on progressive failure on compoistes materials

 

Applicants should have a strong background in mechanics and good programming skills. A keen interest in  pursuing knowledge on science is essential.

Development of New Equestrian Helmet Standard Tests for Impact Protection

Level: PhD, Funded €40-70k, 3 years

A full time research position (3 years) is available at Charles Owen to participate in a pan-European project with the overall goal of improving the safety of helmets for end users.

looking for postdoc position in energe storage field

Submitted by Gromadskyi on

I'm looking for postdoc or engineering position in energy storage or power source area (development of supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, etc.), where I could apply my knowledge as well as many-years hands-on experience in electrochemistry, materials science and chemical engineering. d.gromadskyi [at] gmail.com

sound propagation simulation in abaqus challenge

Submitted by shabuK on

Dear friends,

           I am simulating sound propagation in mild steel.

frequency=5MHz mesh size=0.5mm

time incriment of wave amplitude=1e-9

instead of giving force at a node i have given boundry displacement

U1=5.8e-10

U2=-8e-10

instead of showing sound propagation, my entire specimen(mild steel with 15 mm thickness) deflecting like a wave.I would like to know 1)what is the reason for that deflection?

2)what may be the possible solution?

How to model the Torsion of a bar in abaqus with displacement control?

Submitted by ecuanurqui on

Hi,

I have a bar with an analytical rigid surface attached at the free end with a RP at the centre of it. I am applying a rotational BC of UR3 = 0.017 (1 deg) with respect to the Z axis, but the resulting rotation at the end of the bar is more than 1 degree. Any idea why? Or how to have a full control of the twist of the bar? Also the bar deforms in shape where the end at which the twist is applied expands, making this cross-section bigger (clearly no the deformation expect for torsion). Input file attached in a word doc.
