Seeking help in MATLAB code of EFGM for CFD problems for boundary condition implementation using Penalty method

Submitted by SARITA NANDAL on

Implementing J. Dolbow T. Belytschko MATLAB code of EFGM for CFD pronlems where more than one partial differential equations are involved such as continuity, momentum and energy equations. 

Can anaybody share the MATLAB code for a heat transfer problem of EFGM method using Penalty method for implementing boundary conditions.

Thanks & regards

Implementing boundary conditions using Penalty method for EFGM method

Submitted by SARITA NANDAL on

I followed the following link http://read.pudn.com/downloads92/sourcecode/math/356902/EFGNumericalImp… for EFGM programming. For a Poisson equation whose domain is a square domain with unknown variable "U" is given zero on "Right vertical" and "Top wall" of the square domain.

Simpleware Release M-2017.06 Now Available

Submitted by Simpleware on

We’re happy to bring you the latest version of Simpleware. The M-2017.06 release includes new features and performance improvements across the 3D image to model workflow. We have added new segmentation tools, enhanced the visibility of measurements, and introduced a new landmark registration tool for positioning CAD models in image data. The release also provides new improvements to our outstanding meshing capabilities.

PhD Position in Computational Modeling of Dynamic Impact onto Composite Materials

Submitted by sockalsi on

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship position as soon as possible at the University of South Carolina, focused on computational modeling of dynamic impact onto composite materials. The research involves modeling using finite element techniques to predict damage and failure in aerospace composites. The successful applicant, preferably a US citizen, must have a background in computational mechanics and finite element modeling. Familiarity with LS-DYNA is a plus.

Postdoc positions in Nonlinear Solid Mechanics, MIT

Submitted by TalCohenMIT on

I am in search of two postdocs to join my group, at MIT, on September 1st , 2017, or earlier. These positions will provide a unique flexibility in choice of research topic which will, in general, target problems in nonlinear solid mechanics. See our group website (http://tal-cohen.wixsite.com/website) for more information on our present research thrusts. Though our primary focus is on theoretical mechanics, candidates with experimental and computational experience are also encouraged to apply.

Seek your input on nano-indentation or basic mechanics of materials

Submitted by L. Roy Xu on

Dear researchers----We spent more than two years to prepare a research proposal and it was submitted to a federal funding agency (not NSF).  Based on one reviewer’s comments,  the program manager rejected our proposal. Our title is “A Multi-Scale Approach of Combining Nano-indentation with Computational Mechanics to Predict Impact Behavior of Structural Composite Materials”. I only list these comments related to nano-indentation. Your frank opinion is really appreciated.
