Post-doctoral position at the University of Texas

Submitted by Ravi-Chandar on

The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for an open position as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific project involves the characterization of the constitutive and failure behavior of structural materials (aluminum alloys, steels, titanium alloys, metal-matrix composites, polymers and other selected materials) under quasi-static and dynamic conditions.

ABAQUS - Contact between a 2D axisymmetric deformable body with an analytical rigid surface

Submitted by jack_luk on

Hello,



I'm trying to figure out how the Interaction Module (surface-to-surface contact) in ABAQUS works. I want to apply a compression force on a 2D axisymmetric

deformable body via an analytical rigid surface(2D and axisymmetric also) - basic stuff. When I launch my simulations,

I get the good strains and stresses at the surface of the body which is in contact with the analytical rigid. Moreover, the reaction

forces and displacement of the analytical surface are adequate.

Physical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics

Submitted by Mubeen on

After many publications and lecture notes, Prof. Ian Murdoch has finally organized much of that material in the form of a book.

I am very hopeful that like Prof. Murdoch's lectures, this monograph will also help the readers to develop a better understanding of the physical aspects of mechanics. It will be a valuable addition to the researchers' personal collection.
