This is topic 12-21 Advanced Computational Methods for Fracture in the upcoming ASME Congress 2009 (November 13-19, Lake Buena Vista, FL., USA.) Deadline for abstract submissio: March 2, 2009.
I taught this course at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in Winter 1994, Winter 1995, Spring 1996; at Princeton, Spring 2003; at Harvard, Spring 2004. The notes posted here are those distributed to the class in Spring 2004.
I am a freshman in micromechanics area. Many books and papers always say the linear elastic equilibrium equation(Someone also called Navier type function) could be solved with Green Function and Fourier Transformation, but without details. May be the writers think anyone should know these two popular methods in solving the PDE. I have search many books(both mathmatic and mechanics), However, there are little information about solving the navier type function with those two methods.
An essential step to “understand” thermodynamics is to get to know temperature: how temperature comes down as an abstraction from empirical observations, and how it rises up as a consequence of the fundamental postulate. I have just updated my notes on temperature. The beginning paragraphs of the notes abstract temperature from empirical observations. These paragraphs are posted here.
Abstract submission deadline: March 2, 2009
To submit your abstracts to this symposium, select "Track 12 Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids"; then select "Topic 12-26 Mechanics of Thin Film and Multi-layer Materials".
I want to reply to other people's comment , but when I finish the reply and clikc the "post comment" it always warns comment field is required , I Do not know what is wrong. If someone knows the problem, please tell me, thank you very much!!!
In the past few days at iMechanica, there have been quite a few messages dealing with different aspects of programming, libraries and so on...
It would perhaps be timely, therefore, to ask:
Do you have any opinion about using Java in numerical analysis (NA) / FEM / CFD etc.---i.e., in computational engineering and sciences (CES)?
Do you have any experience or hard data concerning performance of Java vis-a-vis C++ or FORTRAN, esp. for large systems, or for high-performance applications? Any pointers?
Please leave a note... Thanks in advance...
Dear Friends,
I try to make simple model of crack propagation in Ansys but cannot get the clue what i dont include in programming file that I cannot see the propagation of crack, the cohesive layer doesnt break, simply stretching like rubber. Could somebody to give me advice on this topic?
thank you!
Pat
