A research fellow position available in Nanyang Technological University, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Singapore. The candidate should mainly be familiar in modelling impact phenomena using software AUTODYN. The candidate should be able to join in one or two month.
For further information contact Professor Sridhar at msridhar [at] ntu.edu.sg (msridhar[at]ntu[dot]edu[dot]sg).
Hello Everyone,
I have been working on solving contact problems relating to fibrillar adhesives over the past 3 yrs of my PhD work. In the past, I used Comsol FEM to model contact interactions by implementing the Dugdale-Barenblatt traction separation law at the contact interface.
I just discovered (thanks to Dr K.O. Papailiou) this interesting 2007 paper on helical strand mechanical modelling. It is an up-to-date (and apparently quite exhaustive, except for non-English language contributions) review on the subject by T. Manvel Raj and N.S. Parthasarathy, of India. Its title: “A Complete Review on Friction Models of Composite Cables”. It was published in a Russian Academy of Applied Mechanics and Sciences journal, the International Journal of Mechanics of Composite Materials and Constructions, Vol. 13, No 3, pp. 356-384. Here is the Abstract:
A Research Associate is required to undertake an EPSRC-funded project to model oxidation damage at a crack tip and associated crack growth for nickel alloys.
You will join the vibrant Mechanics of Advanced Materials group at Loughborough (www.lboro.ac.uk/moam) which has gained significant experience in the study of mechanical behaviour of advanced materials.
can anyone tell me how to perform high strain rate simulation in abaqus.
