PhD Studentship in Computational Mechanics of Porous Metallic Materials

Submitted by Szyniszewski Stefan on

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.

Have someone met a strange behavior of Load-Displacement curve in a simple 2D indentation problem

Submitted by minhtran.1986.vn on

I am modelling a very simple 2D contact problem between a rigid wedge indenter and a deformable squared-shape specimen (general steel material) in frictionless contact case. I used an implicit function f to describe the rigid indenter.



I implemented Lagrange multiplier method for this contact problem and the contact condition is: Inside the contact zone of the deformable specimen, the node set is active if f(node)<=0 and the Lagrange multiplier lambda<=0.



Postdoc position in Solid Mechanics at Lund University, Sweden
