Assistant research scientist in the PRISMS center at the University of Michigan

Submitted by Srihari Sundar on

The Predictive Integrated Structural Materials Science (PRISMS) Center at University of Michigan is seeking a computational materials scientist to participate in the development of production-standard open source scientific codes. The Center is home to a number of closely-knit research groups that specialize in computational materials science spanning the spatial scales from electronic structure to the continuum, and a spectrum of theories including Density Functional Theory, Statistical Mechanics, Phase Field Models, Crystal Plasticity and Continuum Mechanics.

Different results when *DEFORMATION PLASTICITY vs *PLASTIC used for modelling plasticity of ductile meals in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Prabuddha Sath… on

I got different results for a tensile test simulation when I used *DEFORMATION PLASTICITY (DP), instead of *PLASTIC (P) to model the same material. Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) parameters were directly provided for DP model while true stress/plastic strain values were calculated using the same R-O parameters for P model. Could somebody provide some insight into why that happened? This is not a fracture problem.

Seeking a PostDoc position in field of mechanics of advanced materials

Submitted by sbagherzadeh on

Dear All,

I got my PhD degree of Mechanical Engineering on Sep 2016 and I am seeking PostDoc position at well-known Universitiy or research Institute. Also, I completed my short-term visiting scholar at Purdue University on March 2016.

Large Deformation - Definition of total work energy density

Submitted by rajan_prithivi on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Like we have the elastic strain energy density for small deformations  defined as 0.5* σ :e  .

Is the equation PK2:E valid for the total work energy density for elastoplastic regimes ? If not, what would be a valid equation for total energy density ?

How can we decompose total work density into elastic work and plastic work densities for a large deformation case.

Where,

PK2 is the second piola kirchoff stress tensor

E is the Green-Lagrange strain tensor

 

Thanks,

Prithivi
