Faculty Opening: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor – Experimental Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Biophysics
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston (UH) invites
applications for tenure-track or tenured faculty position, at all levels, beginning Fall 2013 or later.
Successful candidates are expected to establish an internationally recognized
dynamic research program in the area of experimental biomechanics and
mechanobiology. Special preference would be given to those pursuing cellular
level and/or single molecule studies of living systems with emphasis on
healthcare applications. Exceptionally strong senior candidates will be
characteristic Length
Hi
is there a way to get the characteristic length of one element? I wanna calculate xult (when the element is cracked, fracutred..).
I use the concrete damage plasticity model and after reaching the tensile strength i assume a linear softening with fracture energy.
Input are:
Young´s modulus
max. tensile strength
fracture energy
Outpu:
when do i reach xult or what is the plastic strain equivalent

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF TOPIC
Cam Follower Prototype- GIF File
This is my cam follower prototype for clean energy cheaper than coal. Cam is used to open and close valve of internal combustion engine. I am going to show you another use. In my cam follower system,
1. Follower is off set.
2. Force is applied from follower to cam. Since the follower is off set this force help cam to rotate.
3. We use energy(Input energy) to move follower and get energy(output energy) on cam.
Reinforced Concrete Foundation Modelling on ANSYS
Hi all,
I am working on modelling a reinforced concrete bfoundation in ANSYS and am trying to model the concrete material. Does anyone have a good idea of how i could go about this?
Thanks for your help.
