Postdoc position at HKUST on computational mechanics/geomechanics
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.
Looking for a Post-Doc position in Geomechanics, in Europe
Dear all,
My name is Adrien Haxaire. I am currently Associate Professor at LGCIE, INSA Lyon, France, until end of August. I am looking for a
Post-Doc position in geomechanics in Europe.
During my PhD, I developped a thermodynamical model capable of describing coupled THMC phenomena in unsaturated porous media. It was implemented in Cast3M.
I am very interested in chemical reactions in porous media, their modelling and implementation. I am also interested in the field of CO2 sequestration.
For Geotechnics Abaqus Users!
Hello colleagues,
Iam trying to model load test on board pile. I have already a model which is working but not as I need. I think the interaction between pile and soil is not correctly defined. Has someone an experience with this issue.? How I should define the interaction between soil and pile?
Attached .inp file.

What Platform Would You Prefer for a Software That Helps in Learning FEM---Windows or Java?
Ideally, this post of mine should carry a poll, but I guess as an ordinary user, I cannot insert one.
Currently, I am writing a small software program that is especially designed to help learn FEM. For instance, I will be providing detailed listings for every intermediate step, e.g. all those [D], [B], [k], etc. matrices for each element, as well as the final assembled global system {F} = [K]{d} and its solution separately at each Gauss point. Only linear static problems for the time being; will add transients/eigenvalue problems in near future.
Question about stochastic Finite Elements
Hi to the community !
I would like to ask if anyone have some experience with stochastic finite elements in an industrial context ?
Would you know some software (free or commercial) package for stochastic finite elements ?
Why do I have the feeling that sfem methods which look to be very promising aren't used much in practice ? Am I wrong when I say that ?
Thank you very much for any help about that !

matlab code for 3d element with n number of nodes
Forums
i have problem in writing matlab code for 3D element to find electric potential at each node
i have the tool surface and workpiece surface and i have to find electric potential in the gap b/w tool and workpiece,for that i assume it as a solid and i took the laplaces equation to find potential i.e
(∂φ/∂x)2 + (∂φ/∂y)2+ (∂φ/∂z)2=0
and the gap b/w tool and workpiece is divided into n layers and i have to find potential in each layer,for that i am considering it as a hexahedron octanory node element
