Look for a postdoc or research position in structural engineering

Submitted by shaochj on

My research interest focuses on concrete damage constutitive model and its numerical implementation, performance-based seismic design of bridge structures, variational integrand method and conservative propertied of irreversible process, methmatical base of damage theory .Now I work as a postdoctoral research till Sep. 2009 at Tongji University, P R China.  My current research are supported partly by China Postdoc Fund Committee and Shanghai Postdoc Fund Committee.

"Defects and Microstructure at the Nanoscale and Beyond," Mini-symposium at USNCCM-10, July 16-19, 2009

Submitted by Robin Selinger on

There will be a mini-symposium entitled "Defects and Microstructure at the Nanoscale and Beyond," at the USNCCM-10 conference in Columbus, OH, July 16 -19, 2009.  This topic is of keen interest to the I-Mechanica community and we hope many of you will join us there. Our goal is to bring together researchers from the mechanics, materials, and physics communities to cross-fertilize research on defect-mediated processes in microstructural evolution, with a focus on both hard and soft materials.

Bending stress of a "T" collored tube kind of structure

Submitted by krishnan_che on

Hi everyone,

I am a under graduate (B.E-Mechanical) student carrying out project for my curriculam.

In this project I was alloted to study the strength of collered tube kind of product. In this product I have to study the stress at fillet region (Please refer the attached presentation) and suggest the required section improvement.

According to my knowledge, fillet region would undergo two kind of stresses

1. Normal stress (stress due to axial load and bending stress due to moment arm from the fixed end)

weld simulation

Submitted by mohamad ebrahimniya on

hi every body

nice to meet all of u

i am a metallurgical engineering. and recently i am trying welding residual stress simulation using abaqus .

i
have some problem .i think i should set a thermal history for the material
witch is welded in simulation. i want to know how can i set a temperature
dependant properties like tensile stress or  yield stress and ...
