Ph.D. positions in Computational Geometry and Mechanics at BYU

Submitted by Michael A. Scott on

Two PhD positions in my research group are immediately available. Both positions involve the design, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for computer aided design, analysis, and optimization with particular emphasis on complex multiphysics systems.

Neutralization of errors

Submitted by mohammedlamine on

Hello,

The problem in numerics is the neutralization of the errors for example plus (+)error and minus (-)error. For that reason it is difficult to locate a convergent process. Some numerical algorithms avoid these omissions like leat squares methods which handle the square of the errors in the minimization function. In the other applications like solving processes truncating errors and roundoff errors can be analyzed successfully.

Extract natural frequencies in abaqus

Submitted by Davidgc on

Hi all,

 I am new in the blog, so I would like to appologies if this post is already published.

 I am doing a research in vibracion-based health monitoring based in CFRP beams. As a part of my research, I am modeling a composite beam in abaqus and apply transient analysis on it. Before I would like to validate my model with a very simple a easy model for this reason I have elaborated this procedure:
