Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a postdoc in mechanics of granular materials.
I’m currently a postdoc at INRIA Grenoble, France (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). My principal research interests focus on granular materials. They include (1) computational mechanics, (2) numerical modeling and simulation with DEM, (3) multi-scale approach and homogenization technique and (4) shock dynamics and nonlinear wave propagation. Here are my three principal publications:
Hi iMechanica,
I want to start a discussion on the current status of DEM modelling of granular media. I know that Luding has published many papers in this area. Please add to the current research on granular flow modelling like viscoplasticity, hypoplasticity etc and the numerical DEM methods.
A post-doc position is available now for one who has recently obtained (or about to get) his/her PhD on computational
geomechanics or computational mechanics. The successful candidate is expected to have strong background of mechanics
and extensive experience on computer programming (e.g., coding in FEM and/or DEM), and is able to work independently.
He/she who has previously worked on multi-scale modeling of material behavior will be particularly welcome to apply. The
initial contract is one year and is extendable to multiple years subject to his/her performance and availability of funding.
My own DEM(Discrete Element Method) program's solution for static problem seems strange.
I use my program to calculate the displacement of a cantilever under static pressure:
1. it seems my program shows convergence for static problem as the mesh gets denser. As the mesh grows denser(that means the particle becomes smaller), the displacement(of y direction) of the free tip becomes smaller.
