In this study, using a UDMGINI subroutine, stress components relative to a predefined osteon orientation were computed and an anisotropic damage criterion was used to determine damage initiation and to predict crack propagation.
Two microgel particles are encapsulated in a microdrop having a spherical diameter smaller than the
sum of the diameters of the microgels; this causes the microgels to be squeezed together by the oil–water
interface of the drop, in turn, making the drop ellipsoidal in shape. By modeling the force applied to the
microgels by the drop and equating this to the Hertz contact force of their deformation, we are able to
estimate their elastic modulus. By varying the surface tension and shape of the drops, we are able to
The Post-Doc position is open for 2013-2014 (2 years) at the

The mechanical behavior of mono- and multi- layered graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) systems has attracted great attention over the last decade because of their importance in nano-science and nanotechnology.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is accepting applications for the position of Department Chair and Professor, with tenure, starting ideally by September 1, 2013.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Solids and Structures includes sixteen articles presented at the international symposium: Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams. The symposium was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (http://www.iutam.net) and was held at the University of Texas at Austin in May 8-13, 2011. The papers deal with various aspects of mechanical behavior of cellular materials and foams in particular, and represent the state of the art in the field.
The NNIN at the University of Michigan will be hosting a presentation on
