Hi 
I am a PhD. Student at Aalborg University at Department for Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in Denmark. In short my PhD project treats modeling delamination damage in laminated fibrous composite structures under quasi-static and cyclic loading. I am having a hard time finding good relevant PhD-courses so now I am turning to you to ask you if you can recommend any good courses falling under the following criteria:
  • Damage analysis of composite structures
  • Nonlinear FEM
  • Cohesive zone modeling

A new parallel sparse direct solver: numerical experiments in large-scale structural mechanics parallel computing

Submitted by saberelarem on

 The main purpose of this work is to present a new parallel direct solver: Dissection solver. It is based on LU
factorization of the sparse matrix of the linear system and allows to
detect automatically and handle properly the zero-energy modes, which
are important when dealing with DDM. A performance evaluation and
comparisons with other direct solvers (MUMPS, DSCPACK) are also given
for both sequential and parallel computations. Results of numerical
experiments with a two-level parallelization of large-scale structural
analysis problems are also presented: FETI is used for the global
problem parallelization and Dissection for the local

Open House: Can you define FEM in one line?

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

Can you define FEM in one line?

If yes, what would it be? And, in that case, permit me a second question: How?

 

...Really interested in knowing what the members of this community think (of this matter), if they do...

Water waves simulation with Abaqus

Submitted by bitamendi on

Hi everybody,

 

I want to simulate water waves using abaqus. I want design a good reef, in order to improve the waves to surf.

 

I'm Abaqus user (plasticity, elasticity, heat transfer...) but I never simulate water an less waves. Can someone help me or give me some indications to start???

 

 

Thanks a lot

Seeking a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics / applied physics / ultrasonic engineering

Submitted by tigrorybka on

I am very interested in a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics, ultrasonics, applied physics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering. I am proficient in FEM, FDTD, Moments methods. Experienced in ultrasonic measurements that involve ferroelectric crystals, thin films, periodic structures.  Please see attached resume.
