geometrical non-linear problems

Submitted by vipman99 on

I have a mechanical problem it is a part of my studies, this problem relates to mechanics of material (geometrical non-linear problems by using Newton Rahpson method (If I was right) I am struggling to solve it. The thing is because of my poor knowledge I could not find the right reference. All I want is a volunteer someone I will send him the problem then he advice me where should I go to find similar examples or at least the right sources

Post-doctoral Positions in Ultrasonics at the Ohio State University

Submitted by Ningyu Wang on

Post-doctoral positions are available in the area of ultrasonic material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (strong background and experience in ultrasonic experiment and modeling are required). The positions are supported from research grants and are intended for several years. The focus area is ultrasonic study of nonhomogenous materials like composites, adhesive bonds and polycrystalline materials. State of the art ultrasonic laboratories and other characterization facilities are available. More details will be provided to interested individuals.

Hi all,

I am currently in my second year in Engineering school in France. I am doing research on 3D crack propagation in Rubber composites like tires.

And I wonder what is the best method to compute GI, GII and GIII. I have difficulties to choose between methods like EDI and VCCT for example.

I work in the finite strains case with static and dynamic. I also have difficulties to find papers on this subject with comparisons.

Can anyone please help me out with that

Thank You

Best Regards
