Abstract:
Dear all,
I want to construct a constitutive relation to model the elastoplastic damage behavior of rock salt which is considered as an excellent host medium for gas storage facilities. Because rock salt is a kind of typical geomaterials, confinement sensitive and inclusion effect should be considered in the constitutive model. However, I have encountered many difficulties in the course of the study. There are some issues I am a little confused.
The “Michigan Nano Computational Cluster” (MNC2) consists of 14 nodes.
Each compute node contains a hexa-core Intel Xeon X5660 processor
running at 2.66 GHz, 24 GB of memory. MNC2 contains 168 processing cores
linked with Gigabit ethernet, 12 TB of disk space.
MNC2 currently hosts simulation tools for micro/nanoscale systems
including codes for first principles calculation, photonic devices,
molecular dynamics, multiphysics, and multiscale modeling.
The Cluster is free for use. Researchers interested in using the cluster,
Dear colleagues,

Abstract
The provisional agenda for the International CAE Conference has been released - featuring great papers from GE, Indesit, JLR, Volvo...and many more! See the agenda and register to attend the Conference in Italy!
papers about complex/branched cracks that I have got all belong to the area of the linear elastic fracture mechanics.
The event takes place August 13-17, 2012, Las Cruces NM.
'Composite Conference 2012 is focused on composite pressurized structures and vessels, and brings together the international composite community to discuss significant advances in the composite performance, durability, and safety.'
