Symposium on Mechanics of Materials in Energy Technologies at McMAT2015

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider to attend the symposium entitled  "Mechanics of Materials in Energy Technologies"  at the occasion of ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, 6.29-7.1, 2015, in Seattle.The conference occurs every four years and covers all aspects of mechanics and materials: theoretical, experimental, and computational.

The description of the symposium is below.

What is petroleum Engineering?

Submitted by naturaloilgas on

Petroleum Field Services team is currently looking for Coil Tubing Field Engineers. coiled tubing refers to a very long metal pipe, normally 1" to 3.25" in diameter. which is supplied spooled on a large reel. Petroleum engineering is primarily concerned with the economic extraction of oil, gas and other natural resources from the earth. It is involved in nearly all of the stages of oil and gas field evaluation. There are divided into several group such as petroleum geologists, reservoir engineers, production engineers and drilling engineers.

Submitted by Bo Song on

The ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference (McMat2015) will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA,  June 29-July 1, 2015.  We are organizing a symposium at this conference - Symposium 17: Mechanics of Materials in Extreme Environments. 

Cavitation in Rubber: An Elastic Instability or a Fracture Phenomenon?

Submitted by Victor Lefèvre on

The viewpoint that cavitation in rubber — that is, the sudden growth of inherent defects in rubber into large enclosed cavities in response to external stimuli — is a purely elastic phenomenon has long been known to be fundamentally incomplete. Essentially, this is because the local stretches around the defects at which cavitation initiates far exceed the elastic limit of the rubber, which therefore ought to inelastically deform by fracturing to accommodate their growth.

Free 1 hour turbocharger webinar | Wednesday 28 January

Submitted by ADT on

Webinar 1 - Design of high efficiency Turbocharger/e-charger compressors by 3D Inverse design method

In this one hour free webinar we will use two specific examples to show how and why the 3D inverse design method can result in breakthrough designs that improve the turbocharger efficiency and yet meet the requirements for good stress and vibration and wide operating range. The two cases will be:

Direct Dynamic Analysis Method (DDAM) of the US Navy... Not found in Abaqus 6.14!!

Submitted by Youssef Hafiz on

I worked with Direct Dynamic Analysis Method (DDAM) of the US Navy with Abaqus in 2007, but when I revisit it again in 6.14 version I didn't find it and it is not in the documentation also. Is it removed from Abaqus? and  why? In ship building industry, they use it heavily till now.

Please, find the attached file about the method from a Simulia document in 2007
