An article on tenure-track

Stop Trying To Get Tenure and Start Trying To Enjoy Yourself

One of my junior colleagues forwarded the above article to me, and I read with interest. I think it could also resonate the interest of many people here in iMechanica. I welcome your comments, especially from our been-there done-that tenured colleagues.

How about COSMOL in multiphysics (FEA + circuit co-simulation)?

Submitted by Tang Lihua on

Hi, all

Is there any guy try to do system-level simulation combining FEA and circuit analysis in any multi-physics softwares? I want to simulate the energy harvesting from piezoelectric material, through some diodes and into capacitor. Abaqus only can give voltage. Ansys has some electric elements but some non-linear element such as diode is not compatible with piezoelectric element. Any body know about whether COSMOL can do this simulation job? 

Thanks, 

Energy Balance while doing impact analysis

Submitted by Raghunandan on

I am doing an impact analysis in LS-Dyna . When I include failure strain data  I am not able to get the energy balance in GLSTAT . So I tracked it using MATSUM . But there is huge difference in the energy input and energy output. SO I ran the same without failurestrains. Here I got the energy balance. Can somebody let me know whether there is some issue in my postprocessing the results while using failure strain?

Within the



7th Research Framework Programme of the EU (FP7),

The project "Macro, Micro and Nano Aspects of Machining - MAMINA"

offers a three-year PhD project

named

"Finite Element Simulation of the Cutting Process"

at the Institut für Werkstoffe, Technische Universität Braunschweig.





Within the PhD-project Finite Element Simulation of the Cutting

Process (ESR 2) the cutting process will be simulated using finite

elements. Different models will be developed and the material

I am trying to simulate Cyclic Loading in ABAQUS, there by trying to estimate the Fatigue Life of an Automobile Recliner subjected to 25000 cycles. My questions are1. Is it possible to apply Cyclic Loading in ABAQUS?2. Feasibility of Fatigue Analysis in ABAQUS? Bharath PProject TraineeIFB APL, BangaloreKarnataka, India
