As a proud member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) was established in April 1998 to provide leadership in high performance computing as a strategic resource for scientific inquiry and industry development. Our mission is to advance science and technology and develop leading-edge applications through high performance computing and computational science.

when I model excavation with low permeablity soil problem is not converging,due to the negligible vaule of excess pore pressure throught the soil.How can I resove this problem for the real excavation time .(If I run the analysis within very short period of time , results can be obtained under undrained ccondition)



how can I model dewatering during excavation using ABAQUS

Hi,

EMI, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE will hold its annual conference on June 2-4, 2011 at Northeastern University in Boston, MA.  Prof. Ming L. Wang, Prof. Dionisio P. Bernal and Prof. Jerome F. Hajjar will be the Co-Chairs of the EMI 2011 Conference. For details, visit http://www.northeastern.edu/emi2011/ .

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring your attention to the symposium on "Advanced
Modeling and Simulation of NEMS/MEMS and Nano/Micro-fluidic Devices ". The
Symposium will be held at the University of Michigan from April 19 to April
20, 2011.

This Symposium brings together leading researchers in this field to review
recent progress and latest developments and review future challenges in
NEMS/MEMS and Micro/Nano-Fluidics.

To register, please go to:

The University of Exeter will shortly announce several new chairs it is seeking to fill.

The chairs are full tenured chairs and in the following areas -

Cell Mechanics (two chairs, one nominally experimental and one nominally theoretical).

Structural Dynamics, possibly with an aerospace flavour.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact me (c.w.smith-at-exeter.ac.uk) for an informal discussion.

Regards,

Chris Smith
