2D modelling of laser welding

while carrying out a simple 2D analysis of welding of butt joint considering the source of constant heat flux and applying it at certain nodes as constant heat flux, i encountered a problem that it says that the temperature at particular node is exceeding the pre set limit and no solution is obtained. I am a freshman in Ansys so any help in this regard will be helpful

Submit an abstract for IMECE-2012 sympoisum "Multiscale Perspectives on Plasticity in Metals"

My co-organizers and I invite you to submit an abstract to the upcoming symposium “Multiscale Perspectives on Plasticity in Metals” at the ASME 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE), to be held November 9-15, 2012 in Houston, Texas. This symposium will explore the unique challenges to understanding plastic deformation in metals and formulating material models that can accurately predict thermo-mechanical deformation.

Designing Safer Vehicles with Realistic Simulation of Airbag Deployment

Airbags are one of the major protection systems used in a car crash. They play one of the most important roles in preventing severe injuries and fatalities during vehicle crashes. The advancement of new technology and airbag regulations necessitates that airbags be tested for safety in all kinds of scenarios, including situations where the occupant interacts with the airbag before it is fully deployed.

Post-­‐doctoral research fellowship: Molecular mechanics of bone

Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).  This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone. 

Stress Field near a crack tip with different crack fibre orientations of an orthotropic lamina

I was going through these papers:

Postdoc position available on atomistic simulations of water/graphene interface

A postdoc position is available next January at Research Center for Applied Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan on the molecular simulation of the water/graphene interface.

For those who are interested, please contact Chun-Wei Pao (cwpao@gate.sinica.edu.tw) or Jer-Lai Kuo (jlkuo@pubs.iams.sinica.edu.tw).

 

composite slab

I am going to study the diaphragm behaviour of the composite slab under the lateral loading.

To simulate the system using FEM package (such as ANSYS or ABAQUS). the obtained results from FEM package would then be verified by experimental results that must be done by myself.

Mechanics of porous material

Hi all,

I am going simulate a plate of porous material (SiC) to evaluate its strengh.

Would someone share some knowledge on the mechanics of the porous materials.

Thanks.

A question on UMAT implementation of non-local theory

 

Hi, friends,

Now, I am implementing the non-local continuum theory in ABAQUS through UMAT programming.

Unfortunately, I have been obstacled by the following question:

On one hand, in non-local continuum theory, the non-local strain of every particular integration point is determined by the global strain field all over the specimen.

looking for heat engine simulation software

Hi!

I am wondering if anyone here knows of a generic heat engine simulator. I.e. something that can simulate the behavior of reciprocating engines, Stirling engines, and so forth.

The outputs I'm interested in include things like power and efficiency. The input variables that I would play around with include engine dimensions and material properties.

Tensile coupon test - simulation of tensile coupons (after necking)

I have carried out several coupon tests (rectangular coupons similar to
those of ASTM E8). Some of these tests have kind of weird behavior. The
problem arises when I simulate results with ABAQUS. It goes pretty well
until a few steps after necking. Test and ABAQUS results match exactly
until several steps before fracture. After this point, there is a
discrepancy between results and my attempts in capturing the observed
behavior was unsuccessful. (around 10% or more plastic strain).

UK Newton Post-Doc Fellowship in Computational Mechanics

 
Dear All,

A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.

The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural
and social sciences.

NAFEMS NA 2008 Regional Summit: NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation (Hampton, VA - Oct. 29-31, 2008)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming NAFEMS North American 2008 Regional Summit: NAFEMS 2020 Vision of Engineering Analysis and Simulation. This is an excellent opportunity for academic researchers, industrial practitioners and software developers to meet for mutual benefit.

For those of who you not familiar with NAFEMS, it is a non-profit, vendor neutral, engineering analyis community.

crack instabilities around tips in Molecular Modellings

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Considering the MD (molecualr dynamics) simulation programs, they enable us to define the initial crack and then using different theories they propagate the crack. This process is actually a dynamic feature at least when the sample is going to fail. Here is the question that present in the most modellers assumptions, which will limit the simulation or maybe it is not possible to simulate the process with out these assumptions. One of them which I would like to know your ideas about is the linear velocity which come into conclusions before the simulations start.
