3 year post-doctoral position available - High rate testing of materials

Submitted by Fabrice Pierron on

As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.

Overestimated peak strength for cube compression. Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by MrsTgr on

Hi,

I have done compression test for concrete cube using Concrete damaged plasticity model. I assigned BC in Reference point which I coupled with a surf of the cube.

I have got stress-strain curve that looks nice, but Peak strength is 2-3 times higher than it should be.

Ia have uploaded pic of force-displacement.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

ABAQUS: Thermal stresses in a rectangular composite plate

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Trying to model a crossply square plate with a sinusoidal temperature loading (uniform along the thickness). I am trying to match the results by Kant et al 2008 and Rohwer et al 2001. I am modeling the compoosite as a 3-D solid elements (making a part and dividing into 4 layers). I always obtain transverse shear stress on the 90 degree layer at 0,b/2,z to be zero.  My results match with that of the paper when I have a single layer of orthotropic material but they dont match when I have 4 layers of equal thickness and an aspect ratio of 5 (length/thickness).

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.
