PhD opportunity at Queen Mary, University on London, on numerical simulation of particle-laden interfaces

A 3-year PhD scholarship is available to work on simulation methods to treat colloidal
particles that are flowing near, or are transported within fluid interfaces (L.
Botto et al., Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 9957-9971); the focus is on fluid
mechanical aspects coupled with physical-chemistry. For details: webspace.qmul.ac.uk/lbotto

NL springs query

Hello guys,

I am working on a project wherein there is a rubber material which gets compressed. Now I have the force-displacement curve for this rubber material. I intend to represent the rubber with NL springs.

The F-d curve mentiones the specimen details as 5*100mm. This i beleive is the tested specimen. Now how can I consider this for the whole rubber model???

I have n number of springs connected in parallel. How can I consider this when I use a F-d curve?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Why not Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman void growth model for plate impact simulations?

Can someone answer me if Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman void growth model is not suitable for flyer-plate impact simulations? I have come across some papers who have derived void growth equations to simulate fracture in ductile mateials like OFHC copper etc., subject to plate impact (uniaxial strain high strian rate loading). I have attached 3 of them. But none of them have used Gurson's yield function. I did not find any explanation if GTN model has any drawbacks in simulating spallation phenomena found in plate impact simulations.

Biographical Memoir of Zay Jeffries by W.D. Nix

I have written a National Academy of Sciences biographical memoir of Zay Jeffries, one of the great American metallurgists of the 20th century.  I am posting the link to the NAS website here with the thought that some readers of iMechanica might be interested in the piece.  Some will be interested to learn that Jeffries came very close to discovering dislocations some 18 years before the great papers of Taylor, Orowan and Polyanyi in 1934.

Python

Having learned Python for a while now, I believe it is of benefit to students who want to learn statistical analysis and such models and be able to compute these. Python is an easy to learn language. Oh and did I mention George   his is for  you ;)

uniaxial compression of metals: data compilation

 

Dear Group,

I am looking for a compilation of data of the uniaxial compression test of metals at high temperature.

This type of test is commonly used to extract parameters for the equation
strain rate = function of stress (peak stress or steady state flow stress) and temperature
among them the activation energy for flow

I'd need, independently:

Overhead Electrical Conductors

In the review paper by Spak & al. (January 2013) on cable bending mechanical models, one class of models was not specifically mentioned, in which authors attempt to take into account the tangential elasticity at points of contact between cable layers. There are at least two noteworthy contributions:
