This project will focus on developing innovative and advanced simulation tools (non-isothermal multi-scale multi-phase flow solver) to manufacture graphene-enhanced polymer composites, which can be used in in EVs with applications in battery cooling systems, battery module housing, and structure of the car body, with improved curing and cooling cycles, reduced time and cost, and tailored thermal-mechanical properties of parts.

 

Discussion of fracture paper #24 - The sound of crack growth

Submitted by ESIS on

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers combines desired features from different worlds. The fibres are stiff and hard, while the polymers are the opposite, weak, soft and with irrelevant fracture toughness. Irrelevant considering the small in-plane deformation that the fibres can handle before they break. It is not totally surprising that one can make composites that display the best properties from each material. Perhaps less obvious or even surprising is that materials and composition can be designed to make the composite properties go beyond what the constituent materials are even near.

Multiscale modeling of effective elastic properties of fluid-filled porous materials

The elastic deformation and its dependence on fluid displacement is studied at two distinct scales, to address the multi-scale nature of porous structures in nature.

 

 

 

 

 

Postdoctoral Researcher - Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) Research Group

Submitted by asagna1 on

The Louisiana State University School of Civil and Environmental Engineering seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work with the Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) Research Group on research projects pertaining to computational material modeling and simulation due to a variety of causes including high impact damage, explosions due to energetic materials, other extreme loading conditions, etc. The researcher will also work in strain gradient plasticity to address the characteristics of microstructural material behavior such as size effects and numerical instabilities of shear bands.

Qualifications for Postdoc Position:

A hierarchical hyperelastic-based approach for multi-scale analysis of defective nano-materials

Submitted by M. Jahanshahi on

In this paper, a continuum–atomistic multi-scale method is presented in modeling the nonlinear behavior of nano-materials under large deformation. In order to identify an appropriate strain energy function for crystalline nano-structures with different percentages of spherical voids, the hyperelastic method is employed for specimen whose behavior is determined based on the molecular dynamics analyses. In the atomistic level, the EAM many-body potential is employed to model the interactions between the atoms of Al RVEs.
