The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI-R²) Recovery and Reinvestment is now posted. This is a good way to build up the needed major research instrumentation
The deadline for proposals will be August 10, 2009.
A link can be found through the page www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/mri (preferred to keep abreast of updates) or through the NSF-wide page at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260.
Does anyone knows where I can find any paper discuss the existence of potential functinoal for materials that violate the maximum plastic dissipation principle (due to non-convex yield function and/or non-associately fluw rule)?
Hi,
Geometric non-linearity:Incremental solution
1.I've been reading the book by Crisfield on Non Linear finite element analysis and have just started with the first chapter wherein the author introduces geometric non-linearity.
I have some questions on the incremental (Euler) approach here:
I want to know whether my inetrpretations below are correct:
1)The incremental approach makes use of the tangent stiffness which relates small changes in load to small changes in displacement.
2)The "LOAD" is incremented in steps.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland seeks applications for a tenuretrack
faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the area of Fluid Dynamics. Specifically,
applicants studying both the fundamental and applied aspects of flow physics using computational and/or
Tensor analysis is a very useful tool for continuum mechanics as well as other courses. I wonder which book is best for me.
I have background of anvanced mathematics, linear algebra. The book should be comprehensible.
I would like to make a career in Finite Element MEthod with concentration on topics like XFEM,Mesh-free methods--
However, I am yet to mmake a start.To give you my background I ahve a good knowledge of subject of Strength of Materials,Linear Finite Element Analyis-including coding structrial analysis involving beam elements,plate elements,plane stress and plane strain elements-all linear FE.
I have good programming skills-C,VB,MathCAD and know basis of C++ well
I havee just undergone a course on Linear Algebra through the MIT opencourseware.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone using feap software?
Currently I'm attempting to compiling FEAP at Visual Studio. After I successfully building of both library and executable,
It shows "========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========". I considered this as a successful compilation.
However when I run in command prompt: feap -itherm_2d (It's the 5th example input file in FEAP software), the errors pops up as :
Hi,
Can anybody throw some light on the wear coupling characteristics between SS347 and 17-4 PH, as well as between Phosphor Bronze and 17-4 PH Steel?
It will be helpful if you could refer to some literature where I can learn about Wear Coupling Characteristics...
Thank You,
Navanee
