Submitted by Laura De Lorenzis on

The Graduate School MUSIC offers its second Summer School at the Leibniz Universität Hannover from 8 to 12 September 2014.  This year's summer school on “Multiscale modeling of interfaces and advanced solution techniques" is hosted by the Institute of Continuum Mechanics

PhD positions in solid mechanics/biomechanics at Dartmouth College in 2015

Submitted by zichen on

I'm looking for prospective PhD students to study solid mechanics/biomechanics in 2015 at Dartmouth College (Thayer School of Engineering). Visiting or postdoctoral positions are also available for highly qualified candidates from fall 2015. The subjects of research include, but are not limited to, mechanics of morphogenesis in plants/embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g., DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinspired structures.

Im a final year student in Dual Degree(B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and M.Tech in Intelligent Manufacturing). I want to procure PhD in manufacturing stream. Your suggestions on universities and areas of research are very valuable to me.

How to model fastener with same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in a plane in Abaqus?

Submitted by huyhung on

<p>Hi everyone. I want to model the fasteners connecting a wood sheathing to a steel frame in Abaqus. I want to input the same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in the plane of the sheathing (like a radial spring). <br /> <br /> I was using spring element type Spring2 (nonlinear) but I could define behavior in only 2 translational directions in the sheathing plane (X and Z). This made my model overly stiff after the elastic range. I read about the RADIAL-THRUST connector element but it does not seem to be the one.

Contribution to dynamic behaviour of structures

Submitted by Adjal on

Most of topics here in this web site treat the physical behaviour of materials, I would like to share my knowledge and my ideas concerned the analysis vibration of materials ( forced and free) for understand the mechanical behaviour of structures

I adress this message to  researcher whom interssting on dynamic of  structures
