Submitted by Theocharis on
conference

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to cordially invite you to attend the symposium entitled "Deformation and Failure of Multifunctional Materials" organized under track "Mechanics of Solids, Structures, and Fluids" in the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) ASME 2018 conference. The conference will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 11–14, 2018 (https://www.asme.org/events/imece).

Traditional Failure Criteria

Submitted by dude on

Ask iMechanica

Hey every one,

I had a look at the book 'Fracture Mechanics, an introduction' by E.E. Gdoutos, in the preface he talks about "Traditional Failure criteria" and how it's not capable of "adequately" explaining many structural failures and this shortcoming led to the emergence of fracture mechanics theory by Griffith.

But he doesn't really give an acount of what he (Gdoutos) means by "traditional failure criteria".

Could someone please explain me what is the "traditional fracture criteria" as oposed to new criteria introduced by fracture mechanics?

Submitted by Hamid.Akbarzadeh on
job

One PhD position is available for Fall 2018 in the Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research is on the field of  multiscale mechanics of Advanced Nonlinear Architected Materials. Theoretical, computational, and experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for multiscale multiphysics analysis of architected cellular materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.

Regarding to the effective elastic tensor form of a double layered perforation panel

Submitted by SHEN Zhiyuan on
Forums
Computational Mechanics Forum

I am studying the effective material property of a double-layered perforation (Fig. 1). The perforation rate is different on the two layers, which are connected via arrays of pillars. Both perforation and pillars are closer packed in y-direction (the beam length direction) than the x-direction (the beam width direction) to render an anisotropic in plane material property. Fig. 1 (b) shows a unit cell of such a periodic perforation.
