Multiple PhD/Postdoc Positions/Spring 2015
Advanced Materials and Multifunctional Structures (AMMS) Group at Masdar Institute (MI) is seeking suitably qualified candidates for PhD/Postdoctoral positions. Please see attached document for details
Special Issue "Mechanics of Biomaterials"
The mechanical behavior of biomedical materials and biological tissues are important for their proper function. This holds true, not only for biomaterials and tissues whose main function is structural such as skeletal tissues and their synthetic substitutes, but also for other tissues and biomaterials. Moreover, there is an intimate relationship between mechanics and biology at different spatial and temporal scales. It is therefore important to study the mechanical behavior of both synthetic and living biomaterials.
how to model a CFRP sheet attached to concrete using resin by ABAQUS
hello everybody ..
iam trying to model a one-way rc slab with opening and strength that opening using CFRP sheets by attaching it to the concrete slab using resin as a cohesive layer
i have the properties of CFRP sheet ( thickness,tensile strength,elastic modulus,ultimate tensile strength)
also have the resin ( epoxy) properties (tensile strength,elastic modulus)
so please i need help on how to model all this strengthening using ABAQUS 6.13
if anyone done that before or have any info about it please update me
regards . . .

DSTRAN in UMAT with nonlinear geometry
Dear Colleagues,
I have done some analysis with nonlinear geometry. I use quadratic 3D solid elements. I have learned the way to calculating DSTRAN and DROT from ABAQUS documentation as follows:
ΔF*F (t)= F (t+dt)ΔF=ΔV*ΔR
DSTRAN=ln(ΔV)
DROT=ΔR
PhD Studentship in Design of Polymeric Foams
A 4 year project, in collaboration with SABIC, on the design of polymeric foams will be performed at the Cambridge University department of Engineering. The project will explore the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties of a range of new reinforced foams, including composite-reinforced foams.
3D Printing of an imperfect cylindrical shell
Hi, all.
We are working on 3D printing of an imperfect cylindrical shell and run into couple of issues. Hopefully some of you had seen similar issues before and help us moving on our problem.

Extinct Kangaroos Couldn't Hop
Another couple of interesting articles to share. Using some "mechanics" principles, researchers have reasoned that 100,000 years ago, kangaroos were too heavy to hop.
A while ago, a different group of researchers published the results of computer modelling (using genetic algorithms) that showed dinosaurs might have hopped and skipped as forms of locomotion! (But only if particularly happy?)
These articles might be good to share with undergraduate engineers for discussion in tutorials. There are issues to discuss with assumptions in both cases.
