The TMS Young Professionals Committee is organizing a "Meet the Candidate Poster Session" in conjunction with the general poster session of TMS 2015. This event is designed to create networking opportunities for young professionals and hopefully help them discover prospects for future employment.
The Meet the Candidate Poster Session will provide the opportunity for
Hi everybody!
I am doing a large parametric study of a composite shaft. I am working with 5 variables and the number of simulations and data will be quite big.
I would like to gather results automatically on a circumferential path around the shaft. (About 60 elements)
Is it possible to do it with a "gather" command - I think that only one node/integration point can be defined at "gather" command.
Has anyone already done something like that and how did you solve the problem.
As advanced energy materials with higher conversion efficiencies, enhanced storage capacities, and better reliabilities are being developed to meet the ever-increasing global energy needs, mechanics has emerged as one of the key factors that affect the performance of energy systems. In thermoelectric energy conversion for waste heat recovery, thermal stress is a big concern for reliabilities, and the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic materials is similarly affected by strain and mechanical defects.
Hello All,
I am trying to build a homogenized model of beam elements and 2D solid elements in abaqus 6.12. I tried connecting beam elements with plane stress elements through sharing (common) nodes with basic interaction module. The node of beam element (lower end) and node of solid element (upper) are connected through a wire offered in interaction module. This wire have been assigned connector properties. I tried to connect with axial (translation) + rotation connector, so the bending of beam can be transferred to solid elements. But I did not get expected behavior.
Veryst Engineering is offering a 2-day in-person training course on Advanced Structural Mechanics using COMSOL Multiphysics. The course will be in Houston on November 3-4, and it will cover basic and advanced structural/solid mechanics capabilities in COMSOL including contact, material modeling, and fatigue. I will teach the course together with Dr. Stuart Brown, Veryst’s Managing Principal.
Professor James R. Rice, of Harvard University, will receive the 2014 Theodore von Karman Medal. Here is a link to an announcement.

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE POSITION University of Pittsburgh The Shankar Research Group (www.shankarlab.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting tentatively in September 2014. The position’s primary area of research will focus on mechanical instabilities and actuation in structures fabricated from photoresponsive, azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystal polymers and polyimides. A background in experimental mechanics and mechanical characterization is required.
