Submitted by Majid Minary on
job

A Postdoctoral position is available starting September 2017, in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. The focus of the research is on additive manufacturing and characterization of nanostructured metals.

Required expertise include:

- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science or related fields.

- Hands on experience with TEM, SEM and XRD

- Strong knowledge on processing, microstructure and properties of nanostructured metals.

About derive Fluid flow velocity (advection) while using ALE in dyna

Submitted by zhouzhoukth1990 on

Hi, dear all!

I am using arbitrary lagrangian-eulerian (ALE) in LS-DYNA for a fluid-structure interaction case. From the ALE application view, the ALE meshes have to be assigned to move in a specific manner (e.g. automatic mesh motion following mass weighted average velocity in ALE mesh) together with the material (fluid) flow within the mesh. I wonder if, from the post-processing view, there is any method that can derive the fluid flow velocity.

 

Any discussion/ suggestion are highly appreciated!

 

Best regards!

Postdoctoral researcher position: Multiscale modeling of carbon fiber fabrication and properties

Submitted by zhigilei on

A position of postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Materials Group at the University of Virginia is available as a result of a new collaborative project aimed at the development of advanced methods of carbon fibers fabrication from organic precursors. The postdoctoral researcher will join a multi-disciplinary research team working on optimization of atomic structure of carbon fibers through targeted experiments and multiscale modeling of chemical reactions and structural rearrangements occurring at different stages of the carbon fiber fabrication.

Eigenerosion for static and dynamic brittle fracture

Structural Engineering

In contrast to many numerical methods, the eigenerosion approach yields a convenient description of fracture handled in the postprocessing part of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Its fully energetic formulation avoids the introduction of extra degrees of freedom to model fracture propagation. Following previous works on eigenerosion, in this publication, a modified formulation of eigenfracture it is introduced, where it is distinguished between compression and tension loaded state. This formulation has the advantage that it relates the crack propagation process only to tensile loading.
