3rd Indian Conference on Applied Mechanics (INCAM2017, 5-7July, 2017)

Applied Mechanics Department (MNNIT Allahabad, U.P., India) is organizing 3rd Indian Conference on Applied Mechanics (INCAM2017) during July 5-7, 2017.

UC Santa Barbara Mechanical Engineering Faculty Positions

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for two full-time faculty positions with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2017, or later. The Department is looking for exceptional individuals in all core areas of Mechanical Engineering with particular emphasis in fluid mechanics (tenure-track Assistant Professor), and micro and nanoscale thermal sciences and their application to energy systems (tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor).

What about an open source project on fluid network analysis?

Hey, everyone.

Is there anyone familiar with the Generalized Fluid System Simulation Program (GFSSP)? It is a powerful tool developed by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. I am an engineer on gas turbine. I developed a similar but more simplified, and light-weighted tool, by C programming language.

I really want to devote myself to this project, which aims to create a GFSSP-like open source software. Also will be a software similar to the commercial software -FLOWMASTER.

Is here any suggestions or recommendations?

Validation and benchmarking problems for 3D fluid simulation with free boundaries

I have a hard time finding problem sets for validation and
benchmarking of methods and codes for 3d fluid simulation with free
boundaries. Please guide me to (standardized) problem sets or key
litterture that is a suitable starting point. If there are not many
standardized tests I would like to initiate a dsicussion about what a
good test collection should be. I understand that iMechanica is focused
more on solid mechanics than fluid dynamics but the overlap is big.

Modelling Floating objects in Abaqus

Hi,

Im a real beginner at Abaqus, and trying to model a hollow structure floating in water. I've managed to model the structure, but I do not know where to start with regards to modelling water. I also need to apply a gravity load to the structure, but am having difficulty doing so.

 

Is anyone able to help.

Many Thanks

 

Surface Based Fluid Cavities, and inflators

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

I've been tasked with creating a 3D model of a demo inflatable
structure here in our lab. The goal is to inflate it in ABAQUS, and I
have been making some progress in using the *FLUID CAVITY keyword.
However I'm noticing odd things in my results. I have the pressure of
the gas increase to 4psi in a tabular form, however as I watch the
frame by frame, the stress concentrations on the structure vary oddly,
and the model deforms oddly. Almost as if it was a ball being pressed
back and forth against the floor, expand contract, that kind of deal.

Course Notes of Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Fluids by Prof. K .J. Bathe

I thought the mechanics community would be interested in the course notes of
Prof. K. J. Bathe on "Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Fluids". This
course was taught at MIT and now is available freely through MIT Open
CourseWare website:

Enjoy!

 

Journal Club Theme of Oct. 1 2008: Fluid - Structure Interaction, an overview of current trends and challenges

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Starting with a solid mechanics background, I have been recently interested in fluid-structure interactions for applications in biomechanics of soft-tissues; and thought that the iMechanica Journal Club forum would be a good opportunity to share my personal experience and start a discussion on this challenging inter-disciplinary subject.
