Second day of the MoFEM workshop on modelling fracture in nuclear graphite bricks, supporting work at #EDF and #Amentum on safety cases for Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors.
The picture is next to #MoFEM headquarters, a 17th-century building at the University of Glasgow.
#MoFEM is pretty good for analysing soft incompressible materials, such as elastomers.
Pinched cylinder. Nice Saturday animation. Standard benchmark test for shell elements, this time deployed with solid element on the tetrahedral mesh. Mixed hybridised FE formulation with weakly enforced angular momentum. #MoFEM
Two PhD positions are funded with industrial support in #MoFEM. You will address fundamental problems in computational mechanics and HPC.

If you are looking for an Exascale computing PhD, please have a look at the following link. This program offers many PhDs, but a few are special—these are with #MoFEM
EDF has received approval to extend the lifetimes of UK nuclear stations Heysham 1 and Hartlepool to March 2027 and Heysham 2 and Torness to March 2030. The #MoFEM code takes part in this and is used to evaluate their structural integrity. There is short vide of Chris Pearse from couple years buck explains how we doing it.

Andrei Shvarts from GCEC at Glasgow University talks about the PhD projects he supervises, with #MoFEM being an essential part of them.

Prof Vihar Georgiev is giving a talk to Math & Stats colleagues on how we model transistors in #MoFEM.

@UofGSciEng Looks good. #MoFEM simulation done just for pure fun. I will run it for longer. (BTW note cool hanging node mesh refinement)
An example of an error indicator is driven non-conforming mesh adaptivity for #advection problem using upwind high order #DG. Wind velocity is discretised by vector potential function in H1 one space. #MOFEM can do very cool things. That technology is implemented for 2d/3d problems. #FEM #FEA #HPC
Example #code is here:

Working on a tutorial in #MoFEM for upwind #Discontinuous #Galerkin (#DG) for advection of #LevelSet. Cool progress, but a bit of work still needed.
In the tutorial, I show how to build infrastructure for code and method testing, checking constituency between skeleton and volume integral and consistency between the right-hand side and tangent matrix.

Squeezed elastoplastic tube in #MoFEM using multifield plasticity approach.
A benchmark case for a field-split block solver with problem-tailored Schur complement precondition. The paper with this example is in the final stage of internal revision, just before submission. #Simulation #FEA #FEM #Plasticity #HPC
Some very preliminary results on macrosegregation lead & tin alloy by Richard Olley for his first #UKACM conference in #Warwick Univerity. #FEM #Science
The colour shows the lead concentration, and the lines are velocities in the fluid phase. The container is cooled on the sides.
Implementation in #MoFEM,
