Post-doctoral position at McGill/Polytechnique Montreal on crystal plasticity
I have a 2-year post-doctoral position available at McGill/Polytechnique to work on the effect of shot peening on the residual stresses at the grain levels. The methodology will consist of meshing representative volume elements of polycristals and submitt them to shot peening (explicit dynamic simulations). I require a candidate who has exprience in FE modeling of Representative Volume Elements of polycristals and crystal plasticity.
Elastica arm scale
Can configurational forces be exploited to design a new type of scale?
See the explanation and an example of use at http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/elasticscale.html

von-mises stresses in solid model with and without pores
Hello Everyone,
My name is Muhammad Imran and I am a PhD student in TU, Dortmund. I am performing tensile test simulation in Abaqus for aluminium silicon alloy. I am calculating stresses for three different models, one model is solid (zero porosity) and second model has a cavity inside and third model has some pores inside.
ill condition tangent stiffness matrix
hello Dear friends
I study large displacement analysis of euler-bernoulli beam. the beam is under pure bending moment.
wtangent stiffness matrix is dependent to tanget of rotation. so when rotation of nodes approches 90 this matrix become ill condition. I use of matlab for coding. I was wondering if some one give me a solution.
best wishes.
5 years post-doctoral fellowship available, University of Southampton
I am looking for a post-doctoral research fellow with a high academic profile to join me on the PhotDyn project. The topic concerns the development of novel high strain rate testing procedures based on ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. I am mainly looking for someone with expertise in constitutive modelling of materials. The detailed job description can be consulted here.
