Full scholarship (stipend+tuition fee waiver) for 3 PhD students and a fulltime Research Fellow (Level B) position are now available at School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, Australia. These positions are fully funded by Australian Reserach Council (ARC). The successful applicants will join our research team to work on an ARC Discovery Project and an ARC Linkage Project in one of the following areas:

(1) mechanics of composite/nanocomposite structures;

(2) Multiscale simulation of nanotubes/graphene reinforced composites;

Allowable Stress Amplitude in ASME BPVC Code Section VIII Div. 2

Submitted by Francis J Mammi on

In ASME BPVC Code Section VIII Div. 2

Primary menbrane + Bending stresses + Secondary Stresses + Peak = Sa 

What's the relationship between the above Sa and the Stress Amplitude in Fatigue cycle curve? Is that a 1:2 or a 1:1 ratio?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Imperfection in a Riks Analysis (ABAQUS)

ABAQUS
Eigen Buckling; Nonlinear Buckling ;

I am performing a nonlinear post buckling using Riks method. I went through different tutorials for the same. I happen to see that an *IMPERFECTION is introduced while performing the non linear buckling analysis.Why is it done? How does/will the model react differently if the Imperfection is no introduced?

I wish to plot the graph of load v/s displacement for 1,2,3,4...10 times the critical buckling load during the post buckling analysis (Riks method). How do I do that?

modeling analysis of microstructure phase transformation in an alloy

Submitted by aapaaapa on

Hi every one,

I need to modeling a thermal analysis of a microstructure of steel or other alloy by FEM or XFEM. so i need some metallurgical data for phase transformation.for example at which temperature or time martensit converts to austenit or etc. I also need how I can model this microstructure in abaqus that has change in boundries due to phase transformation. i appreciate if someone help me.

thanks

Modelling of Dislocation-Microstructure Interaction at a Short Crack Tip

This project aims to model dislocation-microstructure interaction at a crack tip and associated short crack growth for nickel alloys.

You will join the vibrant Mechanics of Advanced Materials group at Loughborough (www.lboro.ac.uk/moam) which has gained significant experience in the study of mechanical behaviour of advanced materials.
