My name is Seyed Ahmad
Elahi. I am a bachelor of science student in mechanical engineering from Yasouj
University. During my undergraduate study I have published a journal paper and presented three conference papers on the energy absorption of metal columns.

I would like to apply for a PhD position.

Call for Abstracts

Important Dates

We have a new position for posdoc in Qatar University. The main topic is using natural fibers in composite materials for particular structural applications. The job requires a previous experience in natural fiber composites. In addition, experimental and numeriacl tools are desirable. The salary is high (better than any other place). In addition, there are more benifits regarding schools of your children and the plane tickits. For more information, please contact me sepaey [at] hotmail.com. 

Hi all,

I am working on Crack growth analysis of Turbocharger wheel and shaft assembly. I have simulated it as an axisymmetric problem with fine mesh around the cracktip(in Ansys). Element used is Plane182.

I have to compare the K1 and K2 values obtained from both the Displacement Extrapolation Method and J-Interal method. 

I got the K1 an K2 values at the cracktip location by defining path using displacement extrapolation method.

But, I was not able to get the Stress intensity factor values (K1 nad K2) using J-Integral Method.

I've got problems using SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamic), Is SPH
 analysis in ABAQUS coupled with heat transfer analysis??? I'm trying to
simulate Friction Stir Welding (FSW) with SPH Method, I need to predict
temperature  history during welding! Is there any software to do
this??? THANKS TO ALL
