Info:  The goal of this project is to investigate the mechanical and acoustical behavior of materials characterized by a well-defined miscrostructure. The research will involve experimental, theoretical and computational mechanics.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, science-driven, outstanding young
candidate with experience in solid and structural mechanics. Experience
with basic mechanical testing techniques is also appreciated.

Location: Centrale Nantes, Fluid Mechanics Laboratory UMR6598, Nantes, FRANCE.

Title: Discretization error estimate and automatic local grid adaptation for the computation of turbulent free-surface flows at high Reynolds number

Teacher, Scientist, or Engineer

From thinking about the 'I'd Love to Change the World' discussion, I have concluded that my dilemma stems from the (basically) three career paths from which I can choose.

A teacher that can have a great deal of influence on a select number of other individuals' lives and can take great pride in helping others achieve their potential, and possibly make great contributions to society.

A scientist that can continue to explore the unexplained and hopefully discover something that could contribute to society.

The Biomedical Engineering program at the University of South Carolina is seeking highly qualified candidates for one postdoctoral research associate position in the Cardiovascular Engineering Laboratory.

Hi

I am trying to model a rock mass with few discontinuities in ABAQUS. I have to use "joint elements" (Goodman element or the more recent variations) to model the discontinuity. The element should model a separation in tension and a slipping governing by Coulomb friction. Is there any element in ABAQUS capable of modeling such behaviours? If not how can I add one?

Thanks,

Kazem

Dear All,

I am analyzing a steel pressure vessel with autofretage effect in ANSYS. This effect brings the vessel steel fully plastic in the first load step.After the remval of the load in the second step,a permant strain and residual stress remains in the vessel.The residual stress develops compressive stress in the vessel.

To calculate stress intensity factor ANSYS have two option:

1. Plane stress

2. Plane Strain

In a completely 3D problem, How can I use ANSYS to calculate stress intensity factor with out using J integral?

Hi,

I recently started working with piezoelectricity using ANSYS. Can anybody suggest me some tutorials and macros for ANSYS-piezoelectricity.
