Using XFEM in Abaqus to Model Fracture and Crack Propagation

Submitted by SIMULIA on

Join us on this FREE one hour eSeminar. Register below for the live seminar in your time zone.

Engineers are under increasing pressure to improve and extend the operating life of structural components. Abaqus FEA provides proven robust capabilities for modeling bulk fracture and crack propagation in composites.

This live eSeminar will focus on basic concepts of extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) in Abaqus, damage modeling and the creation of an XFEM fracture model. There will also be a short hands-on demonstration using Abaqus 6.13.

One Ph.D. position in mechanics of materials for Fall, 2014

Submitted by Jie. Yin on

One Ph.D. position will be available in the Applied Mechanics of Materials group of Mechanical Engineering Department at

Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. The position will start in the coming Fall, 2014.

The research program will focus on mechanics of soft composite materials and structures as well as

their novel applications in micro/nano-fabrication, anti-biofilm, energy absorption/harvesting, etc. In

particular, it will focus on harnessing buckling instabilities of hybrid soft and hard materials and

Wouldn't it be great if you could view a 3D model of each patient's heart to analyze the unique intricacies of how it works or fails to work prior to slicing open their chest? Read the recent article in Forbes to learn how simulation software, research and medical professionals are working together to improve healthcare and treatment!
