On October 7-9, 2015, the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM) held a Workshop on Predictive Theoretical and Computational Approaches for Additive Manufacturing in Washington, DC. The three-day workshop featured 24 presentations from speakers in academia, industry, and government labs.
Hi guies,
Is there any PhD Position available in Fatigue Life Estimation of composite structure/ Numerical Analyis?
The Institute of Structural Analysis at Leibniz Universität Hannover invites applications for a Scientific coworker / Postdoc Researcher (Salary scale E14 TV-L) (Reference number 65)
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah (http://www.mech.utah.edu/) invites applications
for five tenure track positions at the assistant or associate rank with a Fall Semester 2016 starting date. Candidates with
exceptional background and experience may be considered at a higher rank. Candidates with interest and expertise in the
areas of i) solid mechanics -- 2 positions, ii) design and/or manufacturing, iii) thermal sciences, fluid mechanics, or
Dear all,
Recently I have been running a simulation in ABAQUS, which is the compression of two hemispheres. The two hemispheres are identical, and I think the simulation results of the contact sufaces of the two hemispheres should be identical too. However, I found when I apply only elastic material property, the result is alright, when I change the material property to elastic-plastic (bi-linear), the result is very wierd (the contact sufaces are not symmetric). All of the model is with HEX mesh, when TET mesh is applied there is no such issues.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for several tenure-line faculty positions beginning fall 2016. We are particularly interested in candidates with mechanical engineering disciplinary expertise and demonstrated strong research experience including, but not limited to: bioengineering, micro/nanoengineering, air quality/environment, mechanics and materials, thermo/fluids, energy science/engineering, design and manufacturing, and control and robotics.
Motivated mostly by analytical (or formal) considerations, a vast majority of the works dedicated to the study of the overall plastic response of a porous metal assumes that the sound material (or matrix) obeys a quadratic yielding criterion (von Mises or Hill'48). However, most metals of technological interest today feature significant deviations from the quadratic form of yielding. Therefore a realistic modeling of their behavior, while sustaining damage, requires appropriate consideration of their yielding properties.
hi dears
i have a problem with contour reaction force
when i get result in abaqus all contours is ok but reaction plot is zero
can help me plz
my model is helmet motorcycle and a rigid surface impactor that impact run in 0.2 second and 20 step with 11.2 mpa pressur on regid surfece impactor.

The high-pressure behavior of zinc carbonate ZnCO3 has been investigated using universal structure prediction method together with the density functional theory. In order to explore all possible structures under pressure, separate calculations at high pressure are done here with increasing number of formula units in the unit cell. Two pressures induced phase transitions were considered. The first one occurs at 78 GPa and the second one at 121 GPa.
The objective here is to spread out in detail the various fundamental state properties of smithsonite rock (ZnCO3) for which the most intrinsic quantities remain still unknown. First-principles electronic structure calculations based on the density functional theory with the pseudopotential method were performed using diverse functionals. A number of mechanical quantities were evaluated such as bulk modulus, elastic constants, Young's and shear moduli, and transversal and longitudinal sound velocities (VS and VP).
