Hibbitt Engineering Fellows, School of Engineering, Brown University

Submitted by Kyung-Suk Kim on Sun, 12/21/2014 - 13:58

New prestigious postdoctoral fellowships are provided by a generous gift from Susan and David Hibbitt. Since the fellows will be selected through internal competition with those of other disciplines, solid mechanics applicants should be well qualified for the competition.

Doctoral Position

Hello, My name is Nguyen Van Chau, an engineer at Mitsubishi Motor Company, Japan. I have been working on some projects which relate in structure analysis, fluid analysis for automobile since 2009/01. I am seeking for a doctoral position starting after 2015/01-.

My expertise in computational solid mechanics includes:

(1) Structure Analysis (HyperWork, Nastran, Femap).

Nonlinear Analysis Fire and Explosion using LS-Dyna or ANSYS

Submitted by mimran65 on Sat, 12/20/2014 - 10:11

I have one model offshore that were designed based on BENTLEY SACS and by that I wanted to convert it on LS-Dyna or SACS to CFD to observe blast and fire effects & loading and then for non linear analysis of structural.

The need for intelligent element for software Ansys or Abaqus

Hello Dear

VUHARD for material subroutine and abaqus 6.13.1 requirements

Submitted by aayusha on Fri, 12/19/2014 - 21:15

Hi all,

I am new at subroutine and abaqus requirements and its compatibility. I am trying to use a subroutine VUHARD for the material modeling of polycrystalline material under shock loading. I am not sure if I can use VUHARD because of my lack of experience in subroutines. I have couple of questions listed below and I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a insight in this subject.

1) Can I use visco-plastic formulation (rate- dependent) in VUHARD?

Fluid Modeling by Lagrangian elements

Submitted by ho1mo on Fri, 12/19/2014 - 19:47

I want to extract frequencies from a fluid/structure model by ABAQUS, but fluid elements just available in Explicit library, and frequency procedure just put on Abaqus Standard, So I decide to use lagrangian element instead of eulerian for fluid. But I don't know how I can do it,

Has EveryBody a solution to extracting frequencies of fluids instead of what I mentioned?

Thanks in advanced
