PhD and Post-doc Positions in Computational Modelling of Structural Batteries at TU Delft
Applications are invited for a PhD position (four years) and a post-doctoral position (three years) in the area of computational modelling in the Computational Mechanics of Materials group of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
The successful applicants will work with Dr. Angelo Simone on a project funded by the European Research Council through the ERC Consolidator grant StruBa (Computational Modelling of Structural Batteries). The positions are to commence in June 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Journal Club Theme of February 2014: Energy Challenges and Mechanics
Since James Watt, a Scottish inventor, improve the efficiency of steam engine, human civilization relies more and more on a steady supply of energy. The re-rise as an international superpower and the global energy crisis are challenging China and the world. We are at a transitional age. On the one hand, we see the technology advances in exploration and development of oil and gas, a depleting resource; and the growth in handling ageing and decommissioning. On the other hand, we see ideas and plans for new energy structure in the future.
Abaqus Standard General Contact with penetration
Dear Colleague,
I am running Abaqus Examle Problems Manual 1.1.18 - The self contact on rubber gasket.
I tried to convert the self contact and surface contact definition to a general contact definition. However, the rigid surface just penatrate the model like this shown below.
Left image is the result for the inp from manual. The right one is the result for compuation with general contact.
Does somebody here want to discuss or maybe explain this for me ?

The toughest hydrogel in the world
The class started today. I'll be teaching fracture mechanics this semester. I'll be mostly using the class notes I wrote in 2010, but will post updated ones.
In today's class I covered "Trouble with linear elastic theory of strength." I have just posted updated notes of the lecture. The new notes begin with the follwoing paragraphs.
Phase-field modelling of crack in fixed grid
In phase field method how one can specify the crack in fixed grid?
In case of finite element method one uses two overlapping nodes to model crack, which nodes separate after crack propagation. In case of phase-field, generally people use fixed grid finite difference method. My question is how the same node point can show two different displacements when crack has passed through it like FEM?
