CALL FOR PAPERS
2016 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition Phoenix, Arizona, November 11-17, 2016
Track 3: Advances in Aerospace Technology
Topic 3-10: Impact, Damage and Fracture of Composite Structures
Organized by K.T. Tan (ktan [at] uakron.edu) and Ali Najafi (ali.najafi [at] ansys.com)
In order to meet emission legislation such as EU’s Ecodesign directive or US’s Energy Conservation Standard for Pumps, pump designers need to optimize the efficiency of the pump over multiple operating points. In this 1 hour free webinar we will show how the different modules available in TURBOdesign Suite, especially the 3D inverse design code TURBOdesign1 and automatic optimization platform TURBOdesign Optima can be used to rapidly design high performance pump stages that meet requirement at multiple operating points.
Abstract:
Hello,
I have implemented a linear viscoelastic model using the user subroutine Usermat in Ansys.
I have used the classical paper: "Formulation and implementation of three-dimensional viscoelasticity at small and finite strains" of Kaliske & Rothert (Simo's approach) and it works fine for small deformations.
It is written in the documentation that in the case of a simulation with large strain (geometric nonlinearity), one must rotate the state variables.
We are looking for candidates who have strong background in mechanics to help us modelling and simulating of 2D and 3D nonconventional textile structures with negative Poisson’s ratio (auxetic textiles). The positions can be Research Assistant, Research Associate, PhD student or Postdoctoral Fellow depending on applicant’s previous experience.
We invite you to participate at our session on Physics and Mechanics of Ductile Failure: Modeling and Experiments at ASME 2016 IMECE to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, USA during November 11-16, 2016.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 7, 2016. The session is organized under Track 12, #12-35 Physics and Mechanics of Ductile Failure: Modeling and Experiments.
This work aims to comprehensively study the anisotropy of the hexagonal close-packed (HCP)-liquid interface free energy using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the modified-embedded atom method (MEAM). As a case study, all the simulations are performed for Magnesium (Mg). The solid-liquid coexisting approach is used to accurately calculate the melting point and melting properties. Then, the capillary fluctuation method (CFM) is used to determine the HCP-liquid interface free energy and anisotropy parameters.
Two positions for PhD students are available in Prof. Peng-Cheng Ma’s group in The Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The institute is one of the research unites affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it locates in Urumqi, China, a city with distinctively historic and cultural atmosphere. Major research activities in the group are: i) Carbon-based materials for structural and functional applications; 2) Polymer-based nanocomposites for engineering and environmental applications.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University has a tenure-track faculty position open in Solid Mechanics.
Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Preferred Qualifications: Candidates in the area of Solid Mechanics, with emphasis on composite materials. An experimental background is preferred. Highly qualified candidates in other areas of solid mechanics will also be considered.
