One postdoc and several PhD student positions are available at Arizona State University for fall 2012. Research background in at least one of the following areas is preferred.
1. Fatigue and fracture of materials and structures
2. Computational mechanics and micromechanics
3. Damage detection for composite materials
Good afternoon all,
I am doing bird strike analysis on engine fan blade,I have used lagrangian simulation for this model,very high plastic strain are coming. please suggest how to retify it and if any one have example problem of bird strike(.k file) please share it

Any one can help me ,using ANSYS how to apply reversal loading in the RC Beam Column Joint at the end of the Beam node..
Thanks & regards

When I analyze a quiet complex spatial structure, error information warn that: the direction of the beam element is
not correct.
From abaqus document 26.3.4 I know we can
nominate the direction of beam element by adding additional node.It is clear
that this node should be off the axis of the element,any additional constrians?
May I define a random node in the space
which is far far away from my structure, then I add this node as unique
additional node?
Hi,
I am confused regarding displacements calculated through layered shell model in Ansys using Shell 181.
The model is composed of 5 layered sections of different materials (with thicknesses) assigned to an area. The whole laminate is cooled from a reference (zero-strain) (150 C) temperature to a uniform temperature (-40 C).
I need to calculate the difference of displacements between two nodes in the meshed area, for a specific location in layer no. 3. The issue is that I only have nodes in one plane and the results (i think) are interpolated along the thickness. My question is that, is there any method to find displacements at a specific layer in the shell model [as we can find all other results (stress, strains etc.) for different layers]
greetings :)
i've got this beam, 1x0.24x0.15 (x,y,z) respectively .!
i wanna mesh it, to obtain the following:
first element's length in x-direction is: 0.02
last element's length in y-direction is: 0.045
rest elements (17 middle elements) are: 0.055
y and z direction is according to the global manual size
can anyone help :), thanks alot

Multiple PhD positions are available for the fall 2012/winter 2013 semesters in microstructure-mechanics relationships for structural materials at high temperatures in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (http://www.cavs.msstate.edu) at Mississippi State University. The project is funded through Air Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR) and will involve multiscale materials characterization, in situ SEM experiments, and high temperature mechanical testing for turbine blade structural materials (nickel-based superalloys).
Am I mistaken or is there a mistake in the Wikipedia entry on Mechanical Stress? The index convention used in the text seems to be inconsistent with the illustrations (Figures 1.1, 2.3 and 2.4). In the figures, the second index refers to the direction of traction. But, in the text it is the other way around.
