Hi everyone!

i'm a researcher at the Deparment of Mechanical Engineering of University of the Philippines-Diliman. currently, i'm working on completing my thesis for my MS degree. my research area in general is in mechanics of composite materials (fiber-reinforced). my problem is that of formulating the FEM solution to the torsion-bending of laminated composite beam having orthotropic layers.

Hi,

I want to translate a paper''On an applicability of discontinuous model to crack problems'' published in JSME( japanese language)  into English.But the Pdf file is password protected so i don't know how can i do this?

I hope someone will help me. 

Thanks 

Kuldeep

Dear friends

I've prepared a dynamic model of saturated loose sandy soil with abaqus software. Unfortunately, after  running the model, the pore water pressure is didn't raise up. I don't know if any kind of subroutines I must use or anything else. I'm in the final step of  my thesis analysisand I really need your helps.

Sincerely yours

I came upon a recent paper called "Deformation gradients for continuum mechanical analysis of atomistic simulations" by Jonathan A. Zimmerman , Douglas J. Bammann,  and Huajian Gao, International Journal of Solids and Structures 46 (2009) 238–253 where the authors conclude with
