An exciting short course on "Extremely deformable structures" will take place at the
International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) in Udine (Italy) from June 2nd to June 6th.
In this project, Simpleware's image processing and mesh generation software was used to complete an ancient geological process through new technology. The goal of the project was to create a pseudomorph, an object that maintains an original shape over time while changing its inner materiality.
Li-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical storage systems: Fundamental studies, life-prediction and optimization
This project on Li-ion batteries will focus on experimental, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation-based approaches aimed towards managing electro-chemo-mechanical degradation, capacity fade, and power loss. Moreover, thermal management and safety aspects will be looked at for life-prediction and optimization of Li-ion batteries.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Carbon Nano-Structured Materials for Aerospace Applications: From Characterization & Multi-scale Modelling to Product Realization- A Holistic Approach
This research focuses on engineering high-performance thermal barrier and protective coating systems through modelling its deposition processes, study its manufacturing, characterize its microstructure, to feed information into multi-scale constitutive models, multi-scale modelling of its microstructure evolution and Fracture (in service) as well as experimental aspects (including In-situ SEM testing at temperature) of thin and thick film coatings to predict the system-level performance of such coating systems.
This is a friendly reminder to draw your attention to the Symposium on **Soft Materials and Structures** to take place at the upcoming 51th Meeting of the Society of Engineering Sciences (SES) at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN (Oct 1-3, 2014). More information can be found on the meeting's website:
We have an exciting, two-year postdoctoral position in the general area of nonlinear acoustic metatmaterials. We are seeking a motivated, soon to graduate PhD student, or a transitioning postdoc. Candidates must be presently in the US. This is a two-year NSF-funded postdoc opportunity at
Georgia Tech in the general area of nonlinear periodic structures and metamaterials.
Details about the research are below. An ideal candidate will have
expertise in acoustics of periodic structures/materials. Some background
i would like to condense the model (superelement) using Nastran (PARAM, EXTOUT, DMIGPCH).
but, i'm having few CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM elements at condensation locations. i would like to know these (CONM2/CELAS1/CBEAM) elements will create any issue while condensation
