Bio-inspired solution for optimal adhesive performance
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.
Converting viscoelastic Prony Series terms from ABAQUS to LS-DYNA

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.

PhD position in Multiscale Modeling Materials Under extreme conditions
An immediate fully-funded Ph.D. position is open in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The project involves collaboration with the computational research groups at national labs, as well as experimental researchers from MIT and Georgia Tech to test and validate the models and codes.
Our new review on "Hydrogel Bioelectronics"
It is my first blog entry to iMechanica after long period of only reading.
In this review published in Chemical Soceity Reviews, we systematically revealed the design principles for bioelectronics and discussed hydrogels' merits and potential in bioelectronics.
