Postdoctoral positions in statistical modeling of fracture and plasticity

Submitted by zapperi on Wed, 2012-02-01 09:23.

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
- molecular dynamics simulations of mechanical properties of solids.

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

Submitted by garyofcourse on Sun, 2012-01-29 21:35.

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.

WCCM 2012 - Mini symposium on Computational Damage Mechanics of Composite Materials

Submitted by malfano on Wed, 2011-12-21 15:58.

I am co-organizing a mini-symposium on « Computational damage mechanics of composite materials »  in the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2012) with Dr. Gilles Lubineau at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Dr. Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The mini-symposium welcomes contributions highlighting the critical role of virtual design and simulation in the development of advanced composite structures. Discussions held will cover a variety of topics, however the focus will be upon application-oriented problems through which simulation and modeling can provide real added-value with respect to pure experimental design approaches.

Damage tolerance of railway axles

Submitted by S. Beretta on Sat, 2011-04-16 09:07.

Failure of railway axles has been the problem which gave origin to the studies about 'fatigue'. The modern approach to the structural integrity of these safety components is to complement the traditional designwith a 'damage toleranc' analysis.

A Special Issue just appeared onto Eng. Fracture Mechanics presents some of the most recent research.

A blog for discussing fracture papers

Submitted by ESIS on Sat, 2011-01-15 11:03.

The aim of ESIS is not only to develop and
extend knowledge in all aspects of structural integrity, but also to disseminate this knowledge world-wide by means of scientific publications and to educate young engineers and scientists.
For these purposes, three Elsevier journals - Engineering Fracture Mechanics , Engineering Failure Analysis and
International Journal of Fatigue - are published in affiliation with ESIS.

Promoting and intensifying this aim is what we want to achieve through a new blog that ESIS will manage here for discussing some of the papers which appear in Engineering Fracture Mechanics. Its editors, Profs. Karl-Heinz Schwalbe and Tony Ingraffea,fully support this initiative.

A free program to generate interface elements in an existing FE mesh

Submitted by vinh phu nguyen on Wed, 2010-12-22 14:10.

Hello all,

Last year when I started implementing interface elements to model material failure, I realized that the formulation is easy except how to generate a mesh with interface elements. I did a googling to search for such a free program. Amazingly, I did not find any although there are many researchers working on the fracture mechanics field. 

So, I wrote a small object-oriented C++ program which reads a FE mesh, duplicates nodes and insert interface elements where asked. The program is able to 

(1) insert 1D/2D interface elements everywhere in a FE mesh

(2) insert i1D/2D nterface elements along material interfaces, useful for delamination analysis or interface debonding
