Hi,all

I'm looking for ideas-ways to model the above mentioned thema and solutions to overcome some obstacles. Here are some observations of mine:

1) Above the neutral axis of a bended beam the stress field is negative.Furthermore the traditional type of K factors estimation in Ansys is insufficient.The reason as i believe is that we haven't relative despacements of the crack nodes along  y(normal) axis.In contradiction we have shear desplacements.So i retrieve Ki nearly zero and Kii some noticable results.(using contact elements)

What are the good books to refer for thermal analysis with practical applications.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our Vancouver research institute. This is a two-year industrial postdoctoral fellow position, which could lead to permanent employment.The successful incumbent will work with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists to develop computer models to predict mechanical properties of wood and paper products.

PhD available at the University of Glasgow entitled ‘Numerical Simulation of Fault Evolution in Oil Reservoirs’ 

EPSRC Case Award with Schlumberger - £15,500 per annum + fees. 

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately, focused on the analysis and development of bioinspired, adaptive thermal management structures, by using theoretical and atomistic multi-scale modeling and simulation.

My research topic is too different from string theory!. but i think this not so old opinion of Proff. Lee Smolin about world research system weaknesses is very beneficial to read. and have convincing arguments in neccessity of changes in this system. Read this. it is not related to string theory,
