September 17-19, 2012, Beijing, P.R. China

Overview and Objectives

Applications are invited from
suitably qualified candidates for a Postdoctoral position in the framework of a
Danish-Chinese research project "High reliability of large wind turbines via
computational micromechanics based enhancement of materials performances"
at  Risoe DTU.

Postdoc position in a  European project "Theoretical analysis, design and virtual testing of mechanical properties of titanium-based nanomaterials" will be available at the Materials Research Division, Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark.

Job description: As a postdoc, you will carry out numerical micromechanical modelling of deformation and strength of nanostructured titanium and nanostructured shape-memory alloys (Nitinol). The theme of the project is the numerical analysis of the effect of microstructures of nanostructured metallic materials on their deformation, strength and failure.

Hi,

I am trying to do with ABAQUS Cae now what I usually and successfully did with MSC Patran - produce a unit cell for particle reinforced composite. In other words,  I need to generate a "ball in a box" model.

So, I produce a part Cube and a  part Ball. After that I create Sections and Instances (what seems to be unnecessary if comparing with Patran, but apparently needed to link CAE with CADs), and assign Materias (lets say, Glass to Ball, and Polymer to Cube).

If I simply Merge two parts, Cube and Ball (using Instance-Merge+Cut procedure), the material in the overlapping areas has two definitions - both Glass and Polymer - correct?

Hi,

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a Postdoctoral position in the framework of a research project "High reliability of large wind turbines via computational micromechanics based enhancement of materials performances" at the Risoe DTU.

JOB DESCRIPTION: As a postdoc, you will carry out numerical micromechanical modelling of strength, damage and fatigue processes in fiber reinforced UD polymer composites, hybrid composites and nanocomposites.
