Looking for Research/Postdoc Opportunity.

Submitted by Md Khalaquzzaman on

Dear Fellow Members,

 

I am currently pursuing my PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Ralf Müller at the Institute for Applied Mechanics, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany. I have submitted my dissertation on October 2014. And expecting to defend my PhD work on March, 2015.

 

Research Scientist at IHPC, A*STAR, Singapore (Vibration and noise)

Submitted by Fangsen on

You will be responsible for using numerical methods and computer software to design, develop and validate novel window system. You will also be involved in theoretic analysis and characterisation of conventional noise control design such as microperforated panel (MPPs) and advanced active approaches such as active structural acoustics control. You will also evaluate prototypes and optimising the design until it works by using modelling and simulation as the main tool.

Nanodurotaxis: a fundamental law of nanoscale directional motion

Submitted by Tienchong Chang on

Hi all,

One of our recent works on nanoscale directional motion induced by stiffness gradient.

I hope you will find it interesting.

This work has been presented in 2014 MRS Spring Meeting by Prof. Huajian Gao (the PPT file he used is attached): https://mrsspring14.zerista.com/event/member/109225

Best,

Modal analysis of composite wind turbine rotor

Submitted by divya T on

I have built shell model of a wind turbine rotor in Abaqus CAE and i have run modal analysis. I see that the first natural frequency is around 1 Hz which is sensible but the displacements are very small 10^-12 which does not make much sense. Max Displacement in the model is always 1 in modal analysis. I am not sure how it is 10^-12 here. Since, the displacements are so small, I cannot increase the scale factor (Exaggerate) for visualization to see where is the problem.

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Model (CEL) in Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by imanpost on

Hi everyone;

I'm trying to simulate FSW plunge state using Abaqus/Explicit, Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique.

As you can see in the picture, NT11, PEV and EVF are calculated. But the problem is that the elements in base metal are not deformed. In other words, the base metal elements which are in contact with PIN remained intact and are not deformed.

Anyone could help me with this?

 

 

 

Multidisciplinary Optimization of High Performance Turbochargers by TURBOdesign Suite Webinar | 25 March

Submitted by ADT on

Following on the previous two webinars on compressor and turbine design for high performance turbochargers, this third and final webinar will highlight the contrasting requirements of high efficiency, high reliability and low manufacturing costs faced by turbocharger manufacturers.

In this session we will highlight how to couple 3D inverse design tools with automatic optimization in order to:
