The new group of Prof. J. Gaume at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) invites applications by highly motivated, committed, and talented students/researchers for 2 PhD and 1 PostDoc positions in the field of Computational Mechanics for Snow and Avalanche Modeling.
Christoph Keplinger, of University of Colorado Boulder, will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.
We are delighted to announce that the 10th International Conference on Multiscale Materials Modeling (MMM2020) will be held Oct 19-23, 2020 at the Baltimore Renaissance Harborplace in Baltimore, MD, USA! Mark your calendars!

The journal has been launched online. I attach the Editorial:
In recent years there has been a growing interest into high performance bioinspired adhesives. This communication focuses on the adhesive behavior of a rigid cylinder that indents an elastic layer coated on a rigid substrate. With the assumption of short range adhesive interactions (JKR type) the adhesive solution is obtained very easily starting from the adhesiveless one.
In Abaqus,
g(t) = 1 - ∑(gi * (1-exp(-t/taui));
in which g and gi are dimensionless.
In LS-DYNA,
G(t) = ∑( Gi * exp(-betai * t) );
in which G and Gi are in N/m2
Based on this information, how do we transform the Prony Series terms from one code to another or vice-versa given I don't have the test data available.
