Postdoc position - nonlinear periodic structures/metamaterials

Submitted by mjleamy on Mon, 04/07/2014 - 19:09

We have an exciting, two-year postdoctoral position in the general area of nonlinear acoustic metatmaterials. We are seeking a motivated, soon to graduate PhD student, or a transitioning postdoc. Candidates must be presently in the US. This is a two-year NSF-funded postdoc opportunity at
Georgia Tech in the general area of nonlinear periodic structures and metamaterials.
Details about the research are below. An ideal candidate will have
expertise in acoustics of periodic structures/materials. Some background

DMIG (superelement)

i would like to condense the model (superelement) using Nastran (PARAM, EXTOUT, DMIGPCH).

but, i'm having few CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM elements at condensation locations. i would like to know these (CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM) elements will create any issue while condensation

PHD Route or Multiple degree route?

Submitted by Kebsonic on Mon, 04/07/2014 - 12:37

Can I ask wat substantial benefits are there as a mechanical engineer to do an MBA as a post-graduate degree,rather than doing a PHD in Mechanical Engineering.Valuable adviice would b highly appreciated.

can anyone send me tutorials regarding xfem abaqus to model fracture and cracks

Are there any online courses for fatigue and fracture?

Submitted by g.r.namratha@g… on Sun, 04/06/2014 - 16:38

I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..

But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.

Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.

Thanks,

Namratha.
