A postdoctoral position is available starting in May 2011 in Prof. Wenxing Zhou’s research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Western Ontario.The duration for the position is 2 -3 years.The successful candidate will carry out fracture mechanics testing and numerical simulations, and develop strain-based design methods for pressurized energy pipelines. The project is jointly funded by the Engineering Research Council of Canada and a major pipeline company.If interested, please send your CVs to wzhou@eng.uwo.ca to apply.
A multidisciplinary research team from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, is recruiting PhD students.
The
qualified applicants will be awarded research scholarship
(S$2000/month, S$2500/month after confirmation) for the entire 4 years
of PhD candidature.
We all know Euler buckling of a beam under axial thrust, but can buckling occur in an elastic structure in which all elements are subject to tensile dead loading?
The use of Microindentation has proven to be a crucial tool for rock mechanics related studies. For example, Microindentation has been used to advance studies in excavation by allowing further understanding of rock mass properties and its separation. Microindentation has been used to advance drilling studies to improve drill heads and improve drilling procedures. Microindentation has also been used to study chalk and powder formation from minerals.
SoftInWay announces a free webinar on advanced approaches to multistage centrifugal compressor design, to be held on Thursday, March 31, 2011, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.
Multistage centrifugal compressors are widely used in gas pipeline systems and chemical industry. Defining optimal design parameters is critically important for saving energy at unit operation because these machines have high mass flow rate and significant total capacity.
Hi everyones, I'm currently working on the subject of fluid flow in fractured porous
media. The fractures are considered as the circles of zero-thinkness in
3D infinite space. The fractures can intersect together.
Two PhD scholarships are available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of fatigue and wear in rolling and sliding contacts. One has focus on computational stress and damage modeling, while the other has focus on elastohydrodynamic lubricant film modelling and experimental verification.
There is an opening for students who want to join a PhDcourse or combined master + PhD course (Going to directly Ph.D. course without master thesis afterB.S.)in Department of Aerospace Engineering, GyeongsangNational University, South Korea.
The successful candidate will do research under the adviseof Prof. Jin-Hwe Kweon in Structure and Composite Lab. Prof. Kweon researchareas include testing and finite element analysis of:
The Twelfth Pan American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XII) will be held in Port of Spain, Trinidad from January 2 – 6, 2012, in collaboration with the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine.
I want to do modal analysis of a simple structure under the effect of residual stress. How can I do it in Abaqus ?? I need the precise steps to do with the GUI.
I'm pleased to offer applications for a PhD studentship on measurement of strains in vivo in intervertebral discs at the University of Exeter. It will be co-supervised by myself on (the mechanics side) and Dr J Meakin (on the medical imaging side).
Experience with optical strain measurement (eg DIC, virtual fields method etc), reverse engineering problems and/or finite elements would be desirable. Tax free stipend of approx 14.5k GBP, funding only covers registration fees for EU nationals (ie non-EU nationals must find extra funding at circa 9k GBP per year for 3 years)
I would like to conduct simulations in Abaqus using a St.
Venant-Kirchhoff constitutive law, but when I try to define a material
in Abaqus CAE I do not see it as an option.
Is this available as a
built-in model?
Is this just another material model with a parameter set to a specific value? (Hyperelasticity isn't my strongest area.)
