A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of mechnics of materials, endowed in honour of Professor M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded. Further details may be obtained from Ms H A Gardner.
Fully funded 3 year PhD in the Mechanics of Lightweight Structural Protection. The project is an experimental and theoretical investigation of the invention of lightweight energy absorbing materials under static and dynamic loading. The challenge is to optimise the use of multi-layers to contain a projectile or fragment in a lightweight panel, by exploring the use of metal lattices and composites. The project requires a 1st class honours degree or equivalent in engineering, applied science or materials science.
I found this reference very helpful in building a solid base for learning the foundamentals of Homogenization methods and up to now, is the only reference that addresses the difference between Homogenization and Averaging methods.
I will put more references in this entry and will be happy if you share your links with me.

Hello every one.
I want to run an abaqus job which include a dflux subroutine using abaqus cae. Just after submitting the job, the submit sign is appeared which doesen't followed by running sign. I got no error. Just the job runing doesn't start. How can I fix it?
Dear All,
I am using VUMAT subroutine, But getting round off error(floating point error)
I understand that use of double precision will solve this issue, but any one guide me how to use double precision in abaqus with VUMAT?
Thanks
Mani
This is a fixed term RA position for one year and the salary will be £28k - £38k depending on the experience of the candidate. The research work includes, but is not limited to, the areas outlined below:
1. Research and develop 3D arbitrary parallel processing facilities within the FE/DE based software package ELFEN applied to the solution of a range of continuum and discrete fracturing applications such as glass forming, coupled geomechanical/fluid flow and hydraulic fracturing.
Dear Search
I am Ph.D candidate at department of Mechanical Engineering Algeria; I would like to know how to optimize the composite materials using Ansys Apdl; I will be thankful if any person help me in order to conduct search in field of modeling
Best regards
