Submitted by Ahmed Elbanna on

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following minisympoisum taking place as part of the 15th Pan American Conference of Applied Mechnaics (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign May 18021 2015). Deadline for abstract submission is Dec 31st 2014.

Friction, Fracture, and Damage

Hibbitt Engineering Fellows, School of Engineering, Brown University

Submitted by Kyung-Suk Kim on
New prestigious postdoctoral fellowships are provided by a generous gift from Susan and David Hibbitt. Since the fellows will be selected through internal competition with those of other disciplines, solid mechanics applicants should be well qualified for the competition.

Adaptive periodical representative volume element for simulating periodical postbuckling behavior

Submitted by Bin Liu on

Finite element method (FEM) with fixed representative volume element (RVE) encounters some difficulties in simulating the periodical postbuckling behaviors of infinite long beam or infinite large film on soft substrate under compression, because the wavelength and pattern of buckling are not known before simulation and will change with the increase of compression strain.
