Postdoctoral opening in topology optimization at UC San Diego

Submitted by alicia on

Applications are sought for one Post-Doctoral Researcher at University of California, San Diego (USA) to join the M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for multiscale and multiphysics problems optimizing materials and structures.

Relevant research background in the following areas are encouraged to apply:

Question about Anisotropic Plasticity models (Hill48)

Submitted by Aleksander Marek on

Dear all,

Recently, I've started working on developing effective algorithm for extracting constitutive parameters from full-field measurements for anisotropy plasticity. Our first reference model was chosen as Hill48 due to relatively simple form, popularity etc. Since we are new to that topic we had discussion with my supervisor about nature of anisotropic plasticity and here are some crucial points.

Modern and open finite element code

Submitted by likask on

Hello, 

MoFEM is open and free finite element code. See short video showing how easy you can install code form scratch https://youtu.be/6opfKER7JHA. MoFEM web page is avaliable here http://mofem.eng.gla.ac.uk. If you are intersted in contribute to MoFEM code or simply use it let us know. Feel free to aks any question.

Submitted by Majid Ayat on

I am writing to respectfully inform you that Professor Filippo Berto and I are organizing a mini-symposium called “Mixed Mode Fracture in Engineering Materials” as part of the “14th International Conference on Fracture - ICF14” to be held in Rhodes, Greece, June 18-23, 2017.  More information about the mini-symposium can be found in the flyer attached.

Nine papers about fatigue modelling of short fiber composite

Submitted by Atul Jain on

Recently, we have published a series of nine papers about modelling fatigue and damage in short fiber composites.  Together, they provide a complete description of modelling of such materials including wavy fiber composites; starting from appropriate homogenization method to component level fatigue simulation. Discussion and feedback on the papers is welcome.
