Hi guys,
I have some test results and now I need to model the test in ABAQUS to compare the model with the test results. The duration of the test was 30 minutes.
I have a simple single span girder with a mechanical and a thermal load at the same time.
The mechanical load is static and applies in the third points of the beam. From minute 1-15 the load is 2x60kN and from minute 15-30 the load is reduced to 2x15kN.
This position is mostly about developing and implementing FEM elements and material models in C++.
Minimum requirements:
- PhD or MS + 3 years in a relevant field
- Solid background in solid mechanics and material science
- Experienced in developing advanced FEM elements and material models
- Software development experience in C and C++
- Experience with mechanical simulation tools
Our Group of Appleid mechanics in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on Multiscale Modeling of Soft Materials starting Spring 2014 or Fall 2015.
In a large "Mechanics of Materials" class at ETH Zurich, I incorporated an educational game, Truss Me!, into the class. It showed the potential gaming apps have in enhancing traditional teaching of mechanics.
About Us
The Science and Technology Facilities Council is a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation and our goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people – and more broadly to the world.
Underpinned by £37.5 million of Government investment and combining the UK’s premier supercomputing environment with an unrivalled depth and breadth of related skills and experience, The Hartree Centre accelerates research and innovation and pushes the boundaries of the possible.
We are launching a new journal, Extreme Mechanics Letters. EML will publish letter-sized papers. We aim to achieve rapid communication. Our goal is to have the accepted papers published within 6-8 weeks upon submission. We aim to build a home at the frontier of engineering, medicine, science and entertainment, where advances are rapid and mechanics matters. We seek papers from researchers in all disciplines.
We will start to review submissions on 1 October 2014, and publish first papers by 1 December 2014. The beginning issues will be freely accessible online, and printed copies will be distributed at conferences.
We love to publish your extremely new ideas on extremely useful and extremely interesting mechanics. Please submit your papers soon.
A position of associate professor is available for foreign scientists at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy). Details can be found at: http://www.AcademicKeys.com/r?job=57802
Computer simulations will be used more and more for composites design and manufacturing. Before an engineer can simulate, there are at least two questions: what are the tools available and which one works for my problem. Thus, as a start, cdmHUB plan to compile a list of micromechanics codes for the community, including commercial codes, public domain codes, or research codes. To make the list as complete as possible, we need your help.
