PhD position in computational solid / fracture mechanics

Submitted by rabedi on

Hello,

I have a PhD position available for a project titled "A stochastic and computational approach for fracture modeling of quasi-brittle materials" funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). This project homogenizes material properties using the so-called stochastic volume elements (SVEs). Based on the enderlying statistical properties derived from these SVEs, realizations of certain material properties are generated. These realizations are subsequently used for stochastic characterization of fracture response in quasi-brittle materials.

Simulate graphene layers in Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by Tron on

Dear all, I want to simulate graphene layers in Abaqus/Explicit. To connect two layers, I follow van der Waals forces and apply non-linear spring elements. One problem I have faced is how to choose the unit scale when simulating. If I choose SI(m) or SI(mm), I can not get the visualization of simulation results. I have read some papers which talk about using A, ev/A and eV/A3 for length, force and Young's modulus.

Because I use non-linear spring element, I have to use Abaqus/Explicit. But to run Abaqus/Explicit, I have to define mass density of graphene layers.
