Javascript frontend for simulations?

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

I've been exploring the possibility of frontend development for engineering simulations in Javascript.  Following on from the previous post on generating VTK XML particle data output files from our simulation, her's a new post on reading in those files in Javascript.  See my article at http://www.parresianz.com/javascript/typescript/vue/vuex/xml/reading-vtk-particles/.

Idealized vs. Realistic Microstructures: An Atomistic Simulation Case Study on γ/γ′ Microstructures

Submitted by Erik Bitzek on

Maybe the following open access article in Materials  201710(1), 88 is of interest to modellers wanting to use experimental microstructures in their simulations:

On a systematic approach for cracked rotating shaft study: breathing mechanism, dynamics and instability

Submitted by saberelarem on

We present a systematic approach to deal with the modelling and analysis of the cracked rotating shafts behaviour. We begin by revisiting the problem of modelling the breathing mechanism of the crack. Here we consider an original approach based on the form we give to the energy of the system and then identify the mechanism parameters using 3D computations with unilateral contact conditions on the crack lips. A dimensionless flexibility is identified which makes the application of the approach to similar problems straightforward.
