Two Openings for Post-doctoral Fellows at University of Houston
Two post-doctoral fellow positions are available in Sharma's research group at University of Houston. Potential candidates can visit the following website to get an idea of the kind of research projects undertaken in this group: http://www2.egr.uh.edu/~psharma/index.html. The positions are for one year but renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance. Candidates are expected to be familiar with both atomistic calculation methods and continuum mechanics.

Notes and slides for a course on engineering thermodynamics. I used the Dover edition of Carnot's book.
Mass scaling factor in abaqus
dear sir
i am rolling of thick plates analysis in abaqus.Completing one analysis it took 10-15 minutes. i want to do minimum 35 analysis by cahnging the rolling paramters. some one told me that if you are giving the mass sacling factor means CPU time will reduce, and process will complete as soon as possible. my stip lenthg is 100mm and thick ness is 6mm, and feed rate is 20m/s. please can tell me how to give mass sacling value for this problem.
Thank you very much

modeling of composite cylinder in abaqus
i am working on composite risers and it has inner steel liner and carbon epoxy layers ,where there are 19 layers with 88 and 0 degree orientation alternatively. plss help me in modeling it.
1) i have assumed nu12 =nu23 for transverse isotropy case. i needed engineering constants to give as material properties. am i right???
2)how to create local coordinate system and assign it material orintation.

weird error in Abaqus
Hi,
I am encountering a weird error in ABAQUS analysis. Their is no information in the files about why this error occurs, the execution just terminates all of a sudden. Following is the error:
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Materials Joining Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(An opening from a colleague's group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory:)
Postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the area of materials joining and associated science and technology. The research emphases are expected to focus on computational modeling of welding phenomena including heat transfer, stress and distortion, and non-equilibrium phase transformation/microstructure evolution. The successful applicant should have a strong background and interest in materials joining with demonstrated capability of innovative and independent research.
