Active Research groups in Computational Plasticity

Submitted by bitamendi on

Hello everyone,

 

I'm last year PhD student. I would appreciate if someone could advice me about active research groups in Computational Plasticity (material models, hardening models, yield criteria, UMAT) in California or Australia.

 

I'm looking for an interesting research group to find a post-doc but I don't know from where start.

 

Thansks to everyone!!

sandwich composite: equivalent transverse shear stiffness

Submitted by tatiana on

 Hi,

 I wish to calculate an equivalent transverse shear stiffness of a simple sandwich plate. The plate is made of two skins and a layer of a foam.

Does anyone know an analytical formula for determination of equivalent (kGS) ?

 Thank's.

Dynamic Vibration Analysis of a cantilever beam and its effect on neighbouring beams by using ansys

Submitted by madhava on

Hi,

As a first step in the vibration analysis of the beam, I have modelled 2 rectangular cross section 3D beam and am doing the modal analysis in ansys, but the problem is there is no interaction happening of the 2 beams(ie i have defined the contact and target parameters to the' nodes of the 2 faces of the beam facing each other',by using cintaca170, 174), the beam behave as if there is no neighbouring beam.

Can anyone suggest something.

Does anyone have the paper “Equivalent inclusion method for steady state heat conduction in composites”?

Submitted by Lang Zhou on

Hellow everyone, Ican not find the paperin the titil, Does anyone have it ? My email address is "041858 [at] gmail.com".

Thanks very much.


 

 

looking for post doc position in Material science

Submitted by Kader on

I am graduated from Physics departmentOran
University, Algeria in june 2000. Then I complete my MSc in the field of
material science from the Oran University, Algeria in November 2004. Recently I
complete Ph.D. thesis at the university of Duisburg-EssenUniversity germany,
thermodynamic department in July 2011 . In my PhD, I deal with the synthesis and characterization of the
functional doped metal oxides.

Two UMATS in one Subroutine

Submitted by ABAqirl on

Dear All,

I have the problem. i created very simple example with two elements. To one element i prescribed the behaviour Mat1, to another element Mat2. I tried to use two different UMATS for this two elements.

I created Subroutine Myname.f, in which i use CMNAME if (CNMAME.EQ.'MAT1) THEN

CALl UMAT_1()

ELSE IF (CMNAME.EQ.'MAT2) THEN

CALL UMAT_2()

END IF

Then i put two UMATS in the same SUBROUTINES ,

But as a result the program gives MISTAKE , it says that The UMAT doesn't exist

What is the mistake?
