Hi all,
Apologize if a similar thread was discussed elsewhere. I wanted to know as to currently, what is the
best method to simulate large geometries with cracks as in 3 or 4 point bending test and get factors like CTOD
etc. from such simulation in a physical manner.
I am also interested in crack propagation. As I understand FE requires a prior knowledge of the crack propagation.
What are the disadvantages of XFEM in terms of accuracy? Is there any review on discussing various methods including
Dear colleagues,
on behalf of the course organizer, I would like to bring to your attention to the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirásek in Prague, Czech Republic on 18-22 September 2017.
I tried to explain the concept of state of stress in a simple way, here is the link to the video - state of stress
Hi,I have started working with abaqus,
I would like to know if fortran is to be intalled to executr DLOAD Command ,
i need to apply a sinusodial load..
Any one aware may pls reply,
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position at the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Penn State University. This position at the Laboratory of Biomachinery and Nanomaterials will be developed in the frame of an interdisciplinary project with the objectives of i) studying electromechanical coupling processes at the nanoscale in biological and bio-inspired soft matter systems and ii) designing novel microstructure patterns for metamaterials with applications in active surface control and energy harvesting.

The Solids Mechanics Laboratory, in collaboration with the Thin Films and Interfaces Laboratory, from Ecole Polytechnique is seeking a talented candidate, with a strong background in nanophysics and nanocharacterization, for a postdoctoral position.
The objective of the proposed postdoctoral project is to understand the multiscale damage arising in nanodevices under various types of loadings, in view of proposing lifetime models of the devices.
More details can be found in the attached document.
