Two PhD Positions available

Submitted by samhuang on

 

Multiscale material design group  in SUNY at StonyBrook is looking for two qualified candidates pursuing PhD degree starting Winter 2015  or Fall 2015.

One position is on multi-scale simulations ( first principles, MD, FEA) and conducting experiments on compoistes materials

One position is  on developing new ultrasonic method for nondestructive evaluation for simulations and tests on navel composites materials

Increase accuracy in calculating of strain energy in composite model (Abaqus)

Submitted by siamaktg on

<p>Hello guys</p>
<p>I want to increase my accuracy in calculating strain energy for whol model in a simple composite under static load.</p>
<p>please suggest some methods for increasing my accuracy to achieve a dramatically result.</p>
<p>If someone know about this issue please leave your email for sending my file .</p>
<p>Unlucky my file has a giant size and I cant upload it in this part.</p>
<p>please help me</p>

3 year Ph.D. Fellowship Positions Available at University of Connecticut

Submitted by SamWeiZhang on

Fellowship Positions are available for U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents who have completed a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Civil Engineering or a related field and wish to pursue Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Fall 2015. Three-year stipends with up to $32,000 per year will be provided depending on a student’s financial need. A full tuition waiver and health benefits are also included. We will also consider outstanding students who have completed their B.S. degree and want to directly pursue their Ph.D. degree.

Questions about stresses distribution in pin-loaded orthotropic plates

Submitted by Jinxing.Huo on

Dear all,

I am now reading a paper about the stress distribution in pin-loaded orthotropic plates.

The paper 'Contact stresses in pin-loaded orthotropic plates' is written by Prof. M.W. Hyer.

In this paper, the stresses on the boundary of the hole in the plate are given by a complex Fourier series with unknown coefficietns Ak. The unknown coefficients Ak's are determined by a system of algebraic equations: [C]*{A}={B}. A collocation procedure is needed to construct the square matrix [C].

The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position with a start date of September 1, 2015 or thereafter.   The department is conducting a search for exceptional candidates with a strong background in any discipline related to Aerospace Engineering, broadly defined.   We are seeking highly qualified candidates with a commitment to research and education.   Faculty duties include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, advising students, and conducting research.

could someone tell what should I do to run Abaqus job in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems?

Submitted by M. Khorashad on

I want to run a job file with Abaqus 6.14-1 Software in HPC system but we did not install Abaqus in our cluster before and I do not know how can I sure about the proper installation. I prefer to run Abaqus graphically but if it is not able, we can do it by .inp file.

the system is CentOs 6.5, 60 node that every node has 4 cpus and every cpu has 4 Gb RAM.I search in the internet but I can not find a step by step guide that explain the procedure of parallelization. 

Probing the intermediate states between rolling-up and wrinkling thin films

Submitted by Peter Cendula on

Self-positioned nanomembranes such as rolled-up tubes and wrinkled thin films have been potential systems for a variety of applications and basic studies on elastic properties of nanometer-thick systems. Although there is a clear driving force towards elastic energy minimization in each system, the exploration of intermediate states where specific characteristics could be chosen by a slight modification of a processing parameter had not been experimentally realized.
