Portuguese version of cadec-online available
The Protuguese version of http://cadec-online.com/ is available. Previous versions include English, Spanish, and Farsi. English is the base version for the developement of the app. I did the Spanish translation. Farsi and Portuguese were done by volunters. We are looking for volunteers for other translations. pls contact me if interested.
Composite crushing + CZONE application
Hello,
I am modelling a crushing simulation of a composite corrugated coupon using Abaqus/Explicit and CZONE Abaqus' application.
I am modeling the coupon using S4R elements and the impactor as a discrete rigid shell plate with a slow constant crushing speed or high initial velocity for quasi-static and dynamic crushing simulations respectively.
I am using Hashin damage in Abaqus/Explicit and Hashin and also Tsai-Wu on CZONE application.
PhD Position Available in Multifunctional Composite Materials
One PhD position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University, NY, US. The research program focuses on the mechanics and multifunctional applications of 3D periodic composite materials including shape memory, acoustic/elastic wave propagation, and energy harvesting. The candidates with background in solid mechanics and finite element analysis are highly encouraged to apply.

Postdoctoral Position Available at University of Western Ontario,Canada
Position is available for a postdoctoral fellow to carry out an industry sponsored project on carbon fiber composite modeling. The contract is initiated for one year, with possible extension if work progresses satisfactorily. The research will focus on
(1) micromechanics modeling of elastic and viscoplastic behavior of injection molded carbon fiber composites;
(2) homogenization techniques and constitutive model development for vibration, strength and impact simulations of carbon fiber composites.
Comparing experimental fracture properties and micromechanical (or global-local/multiscale) finite element simulations
I am interested in developing a global-local finite element model (micro/macro) to simulate flexural testing of a composite material. Flexural loading will be applied on global model (macro) and crack propagation will be simulated in the local model (micro). I want to compare stress intensity factor or any other fracture property obtained from local model (micro) with that of experimental results.
I would appreciate if anyone could suggest some references/literature in this area. Any kind of suggestions would be great!
