New postdoc opening in topology optimization in thermomechanical problems in Cardiff University, UK, with Rolls Royce

Submitted by alicia on
job

Applications are sought for a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Cardiff University, UK to join the exciting and active M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for thermal-elastic interaction. This will be achieved by building on the level set topology optimization method that the M2DO lab has developed for mechanical and coupled problems. The application of interest is in the high temperature environment in aero-engines. The position is for two years.

Analyzing Brachial Plexus Injury Using FEM

Yamaguchi University in Japan use Simpleware as part of their biomechanics research and studies of spinal injuries. 3D modeling and simulation enables detailed analysis of potential clinical solutions. In this study, adult brachial plexus injuries are examined using a complex 3D Finite Element model (FEM) of the spine, dura mater, roots, and the brachial plexus. The authors looked at the mechanism of injury for the brachial plexus, particularly for stress and strain distribution, and how useful the model is for other applications.

Partial constraint singularities in elastic rods

We present a unified classical treatment of partially constrained elastic rods. Partial constraints often entail singularities in both shapes and reactions. Our approach encompasses both sleeve and adhesion problems, and provides simple and unambiguous derivations of counterintuitive results in the literature. Relationships between reaction forces and moments, geometry, and adhesion energies follow from the balance of energy during quasistatic motion. We also relate our approach to the configurational balance of material momentum and the concept of a driving traction.
