Webinar: Anisotropic Etch Simulator for MEMS
The NNIN at the University of Michigan will be hosting a presentation on
” Anisotropic Etch Simulator for MEMS”, which will be broadcast live as
a web based seminar.
The Webinar will be webcast live from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT on 29th August, 2012.
Regarding Journals and the Review Process
I thought it might be useful to the iMechanica community to write something about the review process in scientific journals. For full disclosure, I am one of the co-editors of the Elsevier journal Finite Elements in Analysis and Design. Indeed, it is precisely that editorship which informs the content of this blog post.
Finite element simulation of the effect of electric boundary conditions on the spherical indentation of transversely isotropic p
Finite element simulation was used to analyze the effect of electric boundary conditions on the
indentation deformation of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric film with the contact radius
much larger than the film thickness. Six different combinations of electric boundary
conditions were used. The simulation results showed that the indentation load is proportional
to the square of the indentation depth and the indentation-induced electric potential at the
A Ph.D. student (RA) position is available for the Spring 2013 in the MSE Department at Missouri S&T
There is a PhD (RA) position available starting in the spring 2013 in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T- formerly known as University of Missouri-Rolla).MSE program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected MSE programs in the US (http://mse.mst.edu).
The Ph.D. research project is about developing a 3D elastic-plastic-phase-field model for simulating solidification microstructures.
Simulation of moving heat source over a beam
Greetings everybody
I am working on a project that I need to simulate a moving heat source over a beam .I am going to use Ansys for simulation.
I am very interested on any tutorials or any Guidance
