Dear Fellow mechanicians, if your work is related with composites, you might want to consider presending your work on the American Society for Composites Annual Conference to be held on Purdue campus. The abstract is due this Friday (Feb. 17).
A post-doctoral position is available in the Mechanics of Composite Materials (MCM) Lab at the Faculty of Engineering, Tel-Aviv University (TAU), Israel. The candidate will engage in multiple related projects in the areas of nonlinear micromechanics and multi-scale modeling.
Please make sure to read the attached PDF file for detailed requirements and description.
We present a systematic approach to deal with the modelling and analysis of the cracked rotating shafts behaviour. We begin by revisiting
the problem of modelling the breathing mechanism of the crack. Here we consider an original approach based on the form we give to the energy of the system and then identify
the mechanism parameters using 3D computations with unilateral contact conditions on the crack lips. A dimensionless flexibility is identified which makes the application
Computational mechanics practitioners are not typically known for practising well-established software engineering techniques. That makes code developed by various research groups next to impossible to understand and modify. I still see requests on iMechanica on how to implement Drucker-Prager models when every freshman student probably has their own implementation. It is likely that the person who developed a particular code cannot themselves understand the code a few years after the relevant paper has been published.
Hi All,
I am trying to code the Drucker prager plasticity model for the 2D plane strain case using consistent tangent modulus. I am using C++, therefore I would appreciate if anyone could share relevant materials which I could use and preferrably for the 2D case so it is not unnecessarily complicated.
