Postdoctoral positions in statistical modeling of fracture and plasticity

Computational Modeling

We anticipate the opening of four postdoctoral positions in 2012 to work on statistical aspects of fracture and plasticity, and in particular on size effects in the fracture of disordered media and in microplasticity. The positions will be funded by the ERC Advanced Grant 2011, SIZEFFECTS.

We look for candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas:

- statistical mechanics (scaling, critical phenomena, disordered systems)

- numerical modeling fracture

- dislocation dynamics simulations

Cohesive crack - how to verify model? Cant figure out how to output stress intensity factor...

Hello,

I am simulating crack propagation with cohesive elements. In order to verify that my model is working correctly I wanted to compare it to some real world data or benchmark examples. One such example is in the Abaqus Benchmarks manual - a flat plate with a crack in the center.
