SEM 2019 Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials June 3-6
Dear Colleagues,
The Time-Dependent Materials Technical Division of the Society of Experimental Mechanics invites you to submit an abstract to Track 2,“Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials” at the SEM International Congress & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics (Reno, NV, June 3-6, 2019).
Research Scientist at IHPC, A*STAR, Singapore (SHM / Vibration and noise)
We have a Research Scientist position to fill. Mainly two research directions: use advanced computational methods and work with experimental researchers to do 1) structural health monitoring (SHM), 2) vibroacoustic analysis.
Requirements:
PhD in Engineering / Physics or equivalent
Strong background in acoustics, vibro-acoustics, noise control, SHM/NDT
Experience in numerical simulation software such as ANSYS / ABAQUS, Virtual Lab / Acoustics, Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), SOLIDWORKS
What fatigue damage model do you suggest to use in numerical simulations?
I want to simulate fatigue damage of foams (like PVCs). What fatigue damage model do you suggest? What model is regularly used in Industry? is there any one who simulate fatigue damage in Abaqus?
subroutine interface to visit nodal displacements in Abaqus
I wonder if there is any subroutine interface to have access to nodal ( not integral point ) displacement in abaqus DURING the analysis phase. Suppose I have a field that is going to be used in UMAT and that is dependent on displacements of all nodes (presumably stored in an array) from the last increment. Is this possible to be implemented within Abaqus?
Thank you all !
