Liping Liu is the recepient of the 2013 Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2013 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University).

J integrale evalution on Abaqus

Submitted by Brick chaouche Amine on

Good mourning, i am using Abaqus software to inverstigate a crack propagation problem using Abaqus, in this regards i have created a seam crack iner the geometrie which is a plate  under a plane stress condition, my problem is how to mesh around the crack tip in order to have a regular mesh around the crack tip so i can evaluate J integral for multiple contours, the Abaqus documentation mention the swept meshing technique but i coudn't find something about a 2D problem since the sweapt meshing technique nead to mesh a section and swept it over the rest of the body, and in 2d problem we

problem installing visuo studio and intel compiler fortran.

Submitted by apin87@hotmail.com on

Hi, im using abaqus 6.9 with the computer Wnidow 7 -64bit operating system.
 
May i know abaqus 6.9 must using visual studio 2005 or we can using other than 2008?
and may i know we writting our subroutine in the fortran 90 ? and we still need to install intel compiler fortran?
 
thanks for your help.

1st invitation to VAL 2015 conference discussing effects of variable amplitude loading

Submitted by pragtic on

Dear iMechanicians,

Let me invite you the 3rd International Conference on Material and Component Performance under Variable Amplitude Loading (VAL 2015) taking place in Prague, Czech Republic in March 23-26, 2015. See the details on its website http://www.val-conf.org.

The conference will discuss among others these primary questions:

ABAQUS Post processing

Submitted by tanmoy.deb@iit… on

I have modeled a pile which was made to penetrate at a constant rate (Displacement controlled loading) into the soil. The steps were divided into geostatic, contact and Applied load steps. After the program runs successfully, i am facing difficulty in extracting the results.

 I want to plot the load vs. displacement curve at the bottom of the pile.  After i have summed up all the nodal forces at the bottom of the pile, the total load was coming quite less as compared to the applied Load/Displacement.

Full time PhD scholarship at RMIT University, Australia: Mechanics of Nanocomposites

Submitted by Jie Yang on

PhD scholarship is immediately available at the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, Australia. Applications are invited for two open positions in one of the following areas: (1) Mechanics of nanotubes and graphene; (2) Multiscale simulation of functionally graded or nanotubes/graphene reinforced composites; (3) Thermal buckling and post-buckling of composite structures. The research work is supported by Australian Research Council under Discovery Projects scheme.

 

Benchmark: 3D geometrical model established from 3D lattice Green function & lattice Boltzmann method and Blob 3D code

Submitted by BoJing Zhu on

A 3D geometrical model which establish by 3D LG-LB code and Blob 3D is attached.  The results are very interesting!

 

To computing mechnics/physics, if the complex geometrical model can be established definited correcte! so many interesting work can be done to exploring the microstructure deformation_stress process under ULTP.
