Submitted by jeonghoonsong on

Multiple Ph.D. positions are available in the area of Computational Solid Mechanics in the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of South Carolina. These positions will begin in August 2011, and fully cover university tuition and stipend.

 

Brain drop simulation

I am doing research involving the finite element modeling of a human head namely Scalp, Skull, Brain & Duramater using Abaqus/CAE. I have finished modeling the parts, assigning the material properties, assembling and meshing the said model. I need to drop the whole assembly onto a 'floor'. What step should I choose. Also what interaction would I have to create so that the head would shear when it is dropped a distance less than 1 cm. Also bear in mind that it should not bounce.

 Thank you.

plasticity

Submitted by Shabeer Khan on

Good Time to Everybody, I am working on Thermoplasticity, especially thermoviscoplasticity, will be comparing the results of some basic examples problem worked be Simo and Miehe, modelled in Abaqus with the results of a locally developed code. I am new comer in this excellent forum and I am happy to see myself among a nice community of Mechanicians. I regard all those who are conneted in this form and those who helped in connecting this chain of  Mechanics.

Validation and benchmarking problems for 3D fluid simulation with free boundaries

Submitted by martinservin on

I have a hard time finding problem sets for validation and
benchmarking of methods and codes for 3d fluid simulation with free
boundaries. Please guide me to (standardized) problem sets or key
litterture that is a suitable starting point. If there are not many
standardized tests I would like to initiate a dsicussion about what a
good test collection should be. I understand that iMechanica is focused
more on solid mechanics than fluid dynamics but the overlap is big.  

The Nobel, Graphene and 20% Google

Submitted by Jose Berengueres on
 
 
 
Only after learning that 2010 nobelists AK Geim and Novoselov* got the
 inspiration for Graphene during a 20% time break from "ongoing"
lab research. Did I realize how important is to have a "scheduled" free mind 
and open Lab environment.
 
Does your lab practice "crazy friday" experiments jam sessions like Dr. Geim Lab in Manchester?
