2015 Nanobruecken Nanomechanical Testing Workshop
Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and Hysitron, Inc. are pleased to present Nanobrücken 2015: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting, which will take place on April 21-23, 2015 in Potsdam, Germany. Nanobrücken 2015 is the fifth edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series, having been hosted in both Saarbrücken and Dresden.
The Keynote Speaker for this year's workshop will be Prof. Mathias Göken, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Additive manufacturing --> microstructure-->mechanical response
Tensile behavior of selective laser melted Ferritic Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steel was evaluated for the first time and correlated to microstructures.

Global Stiffness Matrix-UEL
Hi everyone,
I am working in UEL. I can get the stiffness matrix from fortran to be printed in .msg file.How can I print the global stiffness matrix of the model by using ABAQUS. My model is not big or complicated, so the global stiffness matrix shouldn't be too big!
Thanks!
Postdoc Position in Computational Mechanics - Ohio State University
The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) at The Ohio State University has an immediate opening for a one-year postdoctoral research associate position. The project is aimed at the application of the finite element method for simulating and optimizing the laser ablation process in aircrafts. The optimization process involves characterizing the optimal laser parameters (e.g., peak power, fluence, intensity, etc.) to maximize the coating removal efficiency while minimizing damage to the substrate material.

Update: Journal Club Entry July 2014: Overcoming Challenges in Liquid Crystalline Elastomers
Dear iMechanica,
Last July I posted a journal club entry on overcoming the traditional challenges in mechanically actuating liquid-crystalline elastomers (http://imechanica.org/node/16853). I'm glad to say we finally got our first manuscript regarding this work published in RSC Advances (DOI: 10.1039/C5RA01039J).
Model for static and kinetic friction (rate and state)
We recently proposed a model for rate and state friction by studying the collective (statistical) behavior of viscoelastic asperities. Various observed features of friction emerge as collective phenomena, without postulating them directly at the microscale. The paper is available at the link below.

Lateral Torsional Buckling of Steel I Beams by ABAQUS
Hi,
I am new in ABAQUS. I tried a lot to find the critical lateral torsional buckling moments from ABAQUS for simply supported Steel I beams. I modelled an I beam with shell element and define the sections. I meshed it by number. Then I did buckle analysis with 4 eigen values in step part. I create boundry condition as a simply supported beam using those node of after meshing and I also applied uniform moment at two end.
But, how do i find the critical moment for LTB? Again, is there any procedure to follow?
Thanks in advance.
