At least 25 Innovation Courses will be organized all over the world by Materialise.
The Innovation Course is an accessible, 2-day, hands-on training in the Mimics Innovation Suite in which you start with medical image data, create accurate 3D models and learn to; e.g. do 3D measurements and analyses, prepare for FEA and design patient-specific implants.
Join us at a location of your choice to see how powerful, yet how easy it can be to preform engineering operations on anatomical data.
Dear all,
I have a problem regarding critical initial time step in poroelastic material during consolidation process.
As we know, for implicit integration method, it's unconditionally stable. But for the consolidation of poroelastic material,
there is a critical time step t_critical derived by Vermeer and Verruijt (1981), this has also been inclued in the abaqus software (http://129.25.22.58:2180/v6.7/books/exa/default.htm).
Hi every one!
I want to read about boundary element method (Method of fictitious movings) .
Can you advise me something?
P.S. It's great if it will be in english, and I can download it or you can sent it to me.
Thanks
A post-doctoral position is immediately available in our research group in the area of micromechanics of materials focusing on failure. Candidates with experience in computational modeling (MD/ meso-mechanics/ continuum mechanics) of crystalline/ non-crystalline (including polymeric) materials are encouraged to apply. Initial appointment will be for one year and may be extended by another year depending on the funding situation and performance.
If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.
There is a very strange problem puzzled quite a few in the rotor blades (including helicopter blades and wind turbine blades) community. We hope some mechanician on this board can help us explain the situation.
Frank A. McClintock, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, passed away on Feb. 20, in the Briarwood Health Care facility in Needham, Mass. at the age of 90.
After getting his Ph.D. from Caltech in 1950, Frank (MIT ’43, SM ’43) was named assistant professor at MIT and served at the Department of Mechanical Engineering until he retired in 1990 and became professor emeritus.
