As part of the EPSRC project entitled 'Innovative photomechanical approaches in identification of the dynamic mechanical behaviour of materials', two PhD positions are open to EU/UK applicants.
There is still time to apply the 5-year post-doctoral position at the University of Southampton. We are looking for a talented young researcher to join a group working on the definition of the next generation of high strain rate tests based on ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification (PhotoDyn project). Please apply online before September 30th.
can anyone tell me how to perform high strain rate simulation in abaqus.
Many prior posts asked about manufacturers of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar equipment. REL Inc in Calumet MI (http://www.relinc.net/products/hopkinson-bar/) designs, builds & installs custom equipment to meet your requirements. We offer a university discount. And, we provide in-house testing; manufacturing of samples, etc. A new offering in this field is our SurePulse software which simplifies the data acquisition effort for Hopkinson bar testing.
A question for the audience:

Ecole Polytechnique and McGill are seeking two PhD candidates for a large project aiming at understanding the effects of shot peening on the fatigue lives of aerospace components. The project involves 8 PhD students that will be working in close collaboration. The project is co-funded by the Canadian goverment and 5 leading aerospace companies located in Montréal. Some projects involve internships at these companies.
We are seeking two students for the following projects:

Dear All,
Recently I have read some literatures on Molecular simulation of polymer. My interest is measurement of
mechanical properties of polymer through the uniaxial tensile test.
I have a question about relatively large time scales in MD simulations of polymer and how to interpret MD
stress-strain results for FE modeling. In particular, in the literature it is mentioned that strain rate of
