Run GEBT online within a web browser

Submitted by Wenbin Yu on

One can now run GEBT (Geometrically Exact Beam Theory), a general-purpose nonlinear composite beam solver, online within a web browser through cdmHUB.org. Users do not have to install the code on their own machine. And users can access to immediate support if run into any questions. You are welcome to try out the code and let me know any of your questions. 

Ultimate Linear Motion Mechanism For Clean Energy

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on

 

 

I apply force using one slider to another slider. Best part is one slider move little bit and help second slider to slide 6 times length at 70 % force.

Energy Used to move first slider=force*distance

=100N*0.05m

=5Nm

Energy Get on Other Slider= Force*Distance

=Force applied by first slider*cos(45`)*distance

=100*0.7*0.25

=17.5

We get 3 times energy on second slider than we use to move first slider.

Postdoctoral position - nonlinear dynamics

Submitted by gauravs on

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) invites applications for a postdoctoral position from motivated individuals interested in modeling and simulation research in Nonlinear Dynamics (supervised by Profs. Pratyush Dayal and Gaurav Srivastava). These applications are sought under Post-Doctoral Fellowships Program of IITGN. The candidate will be required to develop a fully functional suite of computational tools to perform multiphysics modeling and simulation studies on soft materials.

Seminal research work: in-situ mechanical testing under electron microscope

Submitted by Amit Pandey on

A lot work has been done/published in the area of in-situ mechanical testing using electron microscopy. Please list which, according to what you feel has had a significant impact. Here are two in my opinion:

 Uchic, M. D., Dimiduk, D. M., Florando, J. N., & Nix, W. D. (2004). Sample dimensions influence strength and crystal plasticity. Science305(5686), 986-989.

Bioinspiration and biointegration

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

The nervous system has long been an inspiration for the engineer.  Here is an example in a popular textbook on neuroscience.  When a person steps on a nail, the sensor in his foot sends a signal to his brain, the brain sends a signal to his muscle, and he lifts his foot.  The example illustrates the sensor, actuator and processor in the nervous system.

postdoctoral position - isogeometric analysis

Submitted by sangalli on

IMATI-CNR and the Mathematics Department of the University of Pavia offer a postdoc position on isogeometric analysis. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of innovative isogeometric methods for solid/fluid mechanics.  In particular the target applications are related to

- nearly-incompressible and fibered materials

- fluids in geological formations

This research project is partially supported by the private sector, and is supervised by Annalisa Buffa and Giancarlo Sangalli.
