PhD Studentship in Computational Mechanics of Porous Metallic Materials

We are offering the PhD studentship at the
University of Surrey, and we are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates.

This project focuses on applications of metallic foams where structural functionality is combined with energy absorption, damping, heat insulation, and noise silencing.

Challenges in the finite element analysis of tire design using abaqus

Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time.

1. Definition of nanocomposites Nanocomposites are a novel class of composite materials whose reinforcements have dimensions in the range of 1-100 nm. Although nanoscale reinforcements (or nanofillers) of nanocomposites have different kinds of fillers such as nanofibers, nanowires, nanotubes and nanoparticles etc, their mechanical behaviors have some common features.

Respected sirs/madams

I am working on failure analysis of concrete. I am trying to simulate in ANSYS, I heard about element birth/death option for changing the status of element during analysis. My doubt is whether I can use this element birth/death option for analysis or this is only used as a postprocessing tool.

 I am trying is to reduce the stiffness of the elements whose maximum principal stress reaches the ultimate strength of concrete and than further apply load in the susequent load step on the finite element model whose elements are removed.

Reminder - abstract submission date for 3rd IC Engineering Failure Analysis

The abstract submission deadline for this next conference in the biennial Engineering Failure Analysis series (www.icefa.elsevier.com) is 30 November 2007.

The conference will take place in the coastal town of Sitges, just a short distance from Barcelona's international airport, from 13 to 16 July 2008.    

I hope you can take the opportunity to network in Sitges with people of similar research interests at this informative and well-received single-stream conference. 

Best wishes
