Combined EAM and Stillinger-Weber potential and Combined EAM and Tersoff Potential

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

We have combined the EAM and the SW and the TF potentials in one functional form. This functional form allows the modeling of metal covalent systems (M-Si,Ge,C,SiC) very efficiently allowing the study of large systems. The potential iscalled as the "Angular-dependent Embedded Atom Method".

Fully funded PhD scholarship in Vienna, Austria. Research topic is the behaviour of granular materials.

Submitted by Markus Wawra on

Fully funded PhD scholarschip for 3 years is available at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, Universität für Bodenkultur, Vienna, Austria. The research topic is the behaviour of granular materials. We expect a candidate with solid background in continuum mechanics and constitutive modelling. Some knowledge of DEM (discrete element method) will be a benefit. This project is financed by the European Commission within its Marie Curie Programme. There are some ten international partners in this project. During the project you will visit our partners in UK, Germany, Holland and France.

Fully funded PhD scholarship in Vienna, Austria. Research topic is the stability of earth slopes of unsaturated soil.

Submitted by Markus Wawra on

A fully funded PhD scholarschip for 3 years is available at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, Universität für Bodenkultur, Vienna, Austria. The research topic is the stability of earth slopes of unsaturated soil. We expect a candidate with solid background in continuum mechanics. Some knowledge in constitutive modelling of soil and numerical analysis (finite element and finite difference) will be a benefit. This is a joint project with Stanford University, USA. The candidate will visit and stay in Stanford for some time. Your thesis will be co-supervised by Prof.

Saint-Venant’s Principle and Its Proof : History and Review

Submitted by Jian-zhong Zhao on

In this article the history of development of Saint-Venant’s Principle is reviewed, referring to the most important events concerning the principle as the historical clue, and the important works and results are evaluated; the view-points that Toupin Theorem can not be considered as a mathematical expression of Saint-Venant’s Principle and that the general Saint-Venant’s Principle does not stand, but modified Saint-Venant’s principles can be proved true are published and explained; the mathematical approaches for eslablishing modified Saint-Venant’s principles are summarized; the significan

Business venture - seeking support from like minded people from India:

Submitted by Gopinath Venkatesan on

I am coming back to India in the September 2009, and with only a month to go, I am thinking about joining likeminded individuals to open up a small consultancy group and see where it goes. We can also teach CAD/FEM side by side (during day time, and work on projects in the evenings/night - flexible times). Presently I am thinking of buying 1 Ansys Professional (which is very expensive, atleast to me) license. If you have other suggestions, please write to me in detail. I look forward to suggestions from the experienced persons.

Discuss the derivation and numerical calculation of Eshelby Tensor

Submitted by T.ZENG on

 

In the micromechanics, the Eshelby tensor is always encountered. Now, i am trying my best to solve this kind of problem.

The problem confusing me now is an integration about Fourier integral.

If someone has paied attention to this problme, can we discuss together!!!

Thank you very much for your attention!!!
