Problem with defining corner BC/constraint
Hello all,
I'm trying to model the buckling of a shell structure under thermal load.
The structure is square-shaped.
The left edge must be kept straight. To achieve that, I applied MPC Tie Constraint for its nodes.
The bottom edge must be fixed so that the BC applied at its nodes was U1 = U2 = U3 = 0.
Temperature is applied as a predefined field.
However, when I run the simulation the corner that connects both edges deforms very strangely which makes me question how to model it.
I appreciate any input. Thanks.

Call for Abstract Submission to WCCM2018: Multiscale Modeling in Bio-Mechanical Systems
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS502) "Multiscale Modeling in Bio-Mechanical Systems" for
13th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM2018)
Date & Location:
Marriott Marquis, New York City, NY, USA, July 22, 2018 - July 27, 2018
Open PhD positions in Shape and Topology Optimization
Two PhD openings in Shape and Topology Optimization are available at DTU. ( http://www.mek.dtu.dk/om-os/ledige-stillinger/job?id=dd7a97b4-827c-4838… )
The two research topics concern structural designs optimized for buckling resistance and postbuckling behavior, respectively.
The PhD positions involve significant coding tasks, making previous programming experience in the finite-element method highly desirable.

Basics of plasticity theory in 6 min
This video explains the very fundamental points with regard to plasticity theory. It covers the following -
1) Why study plasticity ?
2) Additive decomposition of strain
3) stress and strength
4) Yield condition , flow rule & hardening rule

Postdoctoral Fellow- Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence
Applications are invited for an immediate postdoctoral position within the Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence at the University of New Brunswick. The candidate will perform research in the area of materials characterization of additively manufactured metals (aluminum or steels) developed through powder bed fusion techniques. The candidate will use several experimental techniques to characterize the 3D printed metals such as OM, SEM, EBSD measurements, fractography, and TEM.
