2 PhD positions in structural engg. at NDSU
Two fully funded PhD positions for Spring 2017 are available in the area of experimental and computational damage mechanics at North Dakota State University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Area 1: microstructure and micromechanics based modeling of fatigue in structural steels; Area 2: multiscale computational tools for damage analysis of pavement materials.
Does internal heat transfer attribute work with VUMAT subroutine?
I am running J-C plasticity VUMAT subroutine and trying to club inbuilt heat transfer attributes for temperature update, but it's not working. I would appreciate if someone can advise me if there any way to club inbuilt heat transfer with VUMAT or I have to write separate subroutine?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek
Faculty Opening in Solid Mechanics at Brown University
The School of Engineering at Brown University is seeking to fill a faculty position in Mechanics of Solids and Structures at any academic level. Candidates should have expertise and research interests in the mechanics of soft, biological, structural, energy materials or systems that are complementary and synergistic with existing research areas in the School as described below. The successful candidate is expected to make a significant contribution to the School’s research activities and to build a strong, externally funded research program.
Ph.D positions open
Positions of two Ph.D students are now open for Spring and Fall 2017 in the department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Hampshire (UNH).
We are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates who are experienced in mechanics of materials, bio-inspired engineering and 3D printing.
Dynamic Crack Branching
Hi all,
Time integration scheme for Dynamic Crack Propagation in XFEM?
Hello,
I am trying to implement the time integration scheme proposed by Combescure et. al [1] to simulate a dynamic crack propagation problem in XFEM (2D edge crack under impact loading). But I have an interesting question to ask.
Postdoctoral Position on Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut
The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of impact behavior of materials at the mesoscales. The work is based on the newly developed quasi-coarse-grained dynamics method that extends the time and length scale capabilities of molecular dynamics simulations to the mesoscales. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the extension of this method to model shock/impact response of complex materials systems.
6th Biot Conference on Poromechanics - Deadline for Abstract Submission Extended to September 30, 2016
Dear colleagues,
Please note that the deadline for abstract submission to the 6th Biot Conference on Poromechanics has been extended to: September 30, 2016. This extension is final.
lapack in abaqus subrouine
Hi all,
I'm an abaqus subroutine UEL user.
I recently got an existed UEL fortrain file from advisor professor, but had an following error message when I ran the code.
UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotrf referenced in function matinv_lapack
UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotri referenced in function matinv_lapack
The code has "call dpotrf('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" and "call dpotri('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" in function matinv_lapack, so I think I need to install lapack to resolve this problem.
