2014 Best Paper Awards:
What is the difference between defining a velocity condition (axial and/or rotational) in the boundary condition option and the Predefined field option.
it seems that they both work when I define them for the same case I am working on?
Many thanks
The Sonny Astani Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California has two faculty position openings. Details can be found at http://cee.usc.edu/facultysearch .
Teledyne Scientific Company announces the opening of a new position at its Thousand Oaks, California facility. This position offers you the opportunity to utilize and expand your academic training in mechanical engineering. The position will be associated with Teledyne Scientific Composite Materials group. The group has been for the past 20 years at the forefront of the design and characterization of materials for extreme environments including unique types of high-temperature composites for the aerospace industry.
I post the links to some of our recently published papers on magneto-elasticity. These are iron-filled elastomers whose mechanical properties can be influenced by the application of a magnetic field. A continuum theory that accounts for magneto-mechanical coupling as well as rate-dependent energy dissipating deformations is presented.
I also attach post-print versions of these articles here. Hopefully, they can be useful for some people working in this field.
A colleague of mine wants to find a visiting position on research of fracture mechanics of metals. His visit is supported by a grant from his institution and he is interested in working with someone on fracture mechanics of metal materials. Please drop me a line and I shall help you connected.
Hi, all.
We are modeling a cylindrical shell in Abaqus. The cylindrical shell was fabricated with PLA through the 3D printing technology. We did a tensile test and found that the global stiffness along the axial direction and circumferential direction is different. So, we tried to find a better way to model such varied stiffness in the Abaqus model. Any advice on how to define such material in elastic region would be appreciated.
