Can you please tell me the difference between the meshing techniques used in Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard
Postdoctoral positions in statistical modeling of fracture and plasticity
We anticipate the opening of four postdoctoral positions in 2012 to work on statistical aspects of fracture and plasticity, and in particular on size effects in the fracture of disordered media and in microplasticity. The positions will be funded by the ERC Advanced Grant 2011, SIZEFFECTS.
We look for candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas:
- statistical mechanics (scaling, critical phenomena, disordered systems)
- numerical modeling fracture
- dislocation dynamics simulations
Post-doc at the University of Liège : Simulation of micro/nano-structured materials described by 3D tomography
Post-doc at the University of Liège : Simulation of micro/nano-structured materials described by 3D tomography
The tasks involved in this position include geometrical analysis of the
3D images, generation of datasets which are suitable for the computations
(meshes, level-sets fields ...), computations using novel numerical techniques
(X-FEM and related)

THREE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS
The University of Chile invites applications for three full time tenure-track faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering. Applicants must have deep interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as the purpose to conduct long-term, externally funded research programs at international level. Candidates are also expected to maintain fruitful work relationships with industry in their respective areas. According to qualifications, they may be ranked at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
Candidates are sought in three areas:
1D Plasticity - Isotropic hardening, tutorial with examples.
For those who may be interested,
I have put together a paper describing 1D plasticity for a variety of cases of isotropic hardening. The material is not new, but hopefully it is written with enough detail that it will help beginners learn some basics of computational plasticity. The notation and material closely follows "Computational Inelasticity" written by Simo and Hughes.
