The research group of Design and Simulation of Composites Structures at IMDEA Materials, led by Drs. Carlos González and Cláudio S. Lopes, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of multiscale computational mechanics of advanced composites. Candidates with strong background knowledge on computational damage mechanics, model development, and numerical simulation of advanced composite materials and structures are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience in experimental mechanical testing of composites is highly valued.

Adaptive periodical representative volume element for simulating periodical postbuckling behavior

Submitted by Bin Liu on
research
Buckling and Post buckling

Finite element method (FEM) with fixed representative volume element (RVE) encounters some difficulties in simulating the periodical postbuckling behaviors of infinite long beam or infinite large film on soft substrate under compression, because the wavelength and pattern of buckling are not known before simulation and will change with the increase of compression strain.

Read Strain energy density from ODB and change youngs modulus in .inp

Submitted by aravindkj on

Hi guys,

I am quiet a newbie to Python. I need to read strain energy density from ODB file and change young's modulus in the .inp file. 

I first aim to read the SED from .odb and save it in a text file or data file. I tried for a week but no leads.

Can anyone please help me with that. It will be really helpful. 

Thank you

Cheers

3D Printing of cylindrical shells with varied stiffness

varied stiffness

Hi, all,

I'm planning to print a series of cylindrical shells with different material patches on shell surface. The size is about 100 mm in length, 80 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in shell thickness. The shell was designed with varied stiffness by using two different material properties. The 3D assembly has been created with two groups such that it is easy to select one group for a specific material. I wonder did any of you try some commercial 3D printing companies or providers who can fabricate similar structure with varied stiffness and afforable cost. Let me know. Thanks!
