Post Doctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST): Computational Mechanics

Submitted by Dawei Zhang on

A postdoc position is available in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) at KAUST. The successful candidate will be engaged in modeling and numerical simulation in nano-reinforced composite materials for applications in close collaboration with the aeronautical industry.

A Conformal, Bio-Interfaced Class of Silicon Electronics for Mapping Cardiac Electrophysiology

Submitted by Jianliang Xiao on

In this paper recently feature on the cover of Science Translational Medicine, we report the development of a class of mechanically flexible silicon electronics for multiplexed measurement of signals in an intimate, conformal integrated mode on the dynamic, three-dimensional surfaces of soft tissues in the human body. Mechanics model shows that the strain in the fragile materials, e.g.

Decouple elastic deformation of the body and inelastic process of separation. Up to this point we have been dealing with the following situation. When a load causes a crack to extend in a body, a large part of the body is elastic, and the inelastic process of separation occurs in a zone around the front of the crack. Inelastic process of separation includes, for example, breaking of atomic bonds, growth of voids, and hysteresis in deformation.

hallo all 

 

i am new to abaqus and i have a problem

i am designing a pool with water in it.

and i dont know how to define the water as a material in abaqus 

so that they will act like water on a dynamic analysys that i plan to do in the future

please help

i spent a days triyng to model the water 

Mechanical Properties of Silicon Nanowires

Submitted by Yong Zhu on

In this paper that was published a few months ago, we reported the size effects on the elastic modulus and fracture strength of silicon nanowires. In addition, we observed that the silicon nanowires are linear elastic until fracture with a very large fracture strain up to 12%.
