HELP WANTED

I am looking for a graduate student or a Postdoc who is interested to work on a research project in modeling and simulation of self-healing surfaces and related topics.

The candidate is expected to major in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science (background in surface mechanics / physics / tribology is preferred), to be comfortable with computational software (MATLAB, Ansys or similar), and to be enthusiastic about producing modeling/computational results and preparing publications.

Hi all,

i am doing buckling analysis in Abaqus. While crearting a new step, i dont have clear idea about the terms below

No of eigenvalues requeted:

Maximum eigenvalue of interest:

Vectors used per iteration:

Maximum no of iterations:

I want suggestion from you.

Thank You in advance

I am a bit confused about glass (silicate glass) material behvoiur. If it is viscoelastic how does it deforms? Does anyone knows any good reference?

 Thanks

Can anyone suggest a book or some other source from where i can get the history of the conception of infinitesimal. Sometimes I wonder  how and when (also, why) the great  mathematicians and thinkers conceived this breakthrough.

hi people,

recently in our lab, i tried to pull a viscous damper of a motorbike it was difficult to pull but was easy to push.

it seemed to be similar to that of a syringe

is there any fundamental law behind that..

where does the resistance come when it is pulled

This position is located in Lancaster, California.

Dear Colleague:

 

You are cordially invited to attend a special Workshop on Probing the Limits of Strength, which will be held at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on August 10-12, 2009. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with an interest in experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental limits of strength in materials. The workshop will include a strong lineup of national and international speakers on advanced mechanical testing techniques and computational materials science of materials deformation at the elastic limit.
