Post-doctorate Positions in Offshore Engineering at National University of Singapore

Submitted by Pang Sze Dai on

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting 2 post-doctorate research fellows to pursue research on ice-structure interaction in the Keppel-NUS Corporate Laboratory. As part of the S$75 million collaboration between Keppel Corporation and NUS, the team comprising of Prof. Andrew Palmer, Dr. Bai Wei, and Dr. Pang Sze Dai, seeks to develop solutions for offshore rigs to meet the challenges of harsh arctic environments in oil and gas exploration and production.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to simulate a drop test in abaqus?

Submitted by AP on

Hello,

I am working on a research to simulate a drop test of a package box with ceramic saucer inside. I am not proficient in abaqus so I am looking for some suggestions.

Till now, I created a hollow box with 2 mm thickness to represent it as a cardboard box and a disc for a saucer. I have material properties for cardboard and saucer. Then I assembled the model in abaqus such that saucer is touching box at the bottom; this was initial condition.

Two PhD positions on computational and experimental multiscale mechanics at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands

Submitted by RonPeerlings on

Our Mechanics of Materials Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands has two openings for talented PhD students in the field of multiscale mechanics of materials. They are part of a European Union funded project on multiscale methods for advanced materials. One opening is onthe development of a fundamentally new multiscale approach towards material modelling and the other aims to integrate this approach with experimental methods.
