The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in structural engineering/mechanics/materials (SEMM). Candidates at all ranks are sought with expertise in one or more of the following areas: (1) computational/solid mechanics; (2) infrastructure materials. The expected starting date is August, 2011.
Dear all,
I would like to ask you, how is it possible to simulate fatigue in Abaqus. I have created my loading. But if I run it as it is it will never reach a critical value, so you could say there is no damage evolution. Is it the only way is to apply some type of hysteresis loop evolution and say that after some cycles the hysteresis loop changes?
Any advice is more than welcome!
Regards,
Panos
Hi,
I was going though papers related to micromechanical modeling of composites using unit cell approach. Usually in this procedure, a unit cell is isolated from the material and to ensure the compatabilty of the unit cell boundary, periodic boundary conditions are applied.
To ensure the compatabilty of the boundary and to apply loads, can we use submodeling techniques available in ABAQUS.
Thank you
Regards
Ghouse

I would like to invite you to submit papers for the 32nd Risø International Symposium on Materials Science: "Composite materials for structural performance: towards higher limits". The idea of the symposium is to explore what are the real limits of structural performance of composite structures, covering both limitations by (a) the properties of the materials and (b) limits from the design methods and criteria used in the structural design process.
The Centre for Research in Computational and Applied Mechanics (Cerecam) at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship in nonlinear computational mechanics. Further information about the position may be obtained from Professor
Daya Reddy (daya.reddy [at] uct.ac.za).
A post-doctoral position is available in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on developing
"morphing surfaces" that change topology by developing features such
as bumps, folds, spikes, etc. The post-doctoral fellow will develop (1)
surfaces that undergo a change in topology in response to applied stimuli, (2)
methods to control the shape and location of the morphing features on the
surface, and (3) quantitative or heuristic models to guide the design of
texture-changing surfaces.
hi,
is there any body having c/ c++ program for FEM 1-d heat transfer on fin pin ( convection & conduction) . i am very thankful if u send to me
