Applied Mechanics Division of ASME
The Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) strives to foster the intelligent use of mechanics by engineers and to develop this science to serve the needs of the engineering community. The AMD was founded in 1927 with Stephen Timoshenko as its first chair.
Collecting phenomena of large elastic deformation
It might be fun for us to work together to collect phenomena of large elastic deformation. These phenomena will enliven teaching and motivate research. As inspiration, here are two albums of fluid motion
Crack Propagation by Cohesive Element

Hi everyone,
I've been working on crack propagation problem by cohesive elements in Abaqus.
I have a sandwich struture where adhesive bonds two steels together. And I've attached part of my input file in the following.
I can have the stress and strain distribution, but I really expect the crack will propagate in the midplane of the adhesives. I don't know whether I have to preset a line in the middle of adhesive as existing crac, or I can set some crack interaction to get the crack growth result.
Graduate student research assistantships at the University of California Merced
Graduate student research positions are available in Professor
Martini’s Fundamental Tribology group in Mechanical Engineering at the
University of California Merced. UC Merced is the 10th campus of the University
of California system, opened in 2005, with a rapidy growing research program. Professor Martini’s
group focuses on computational modeling of friction, wear and lubrication of
sliding surfaces, with particular emphasis on nanoscale interfacial phenomena.
Prospective applicants should contact Professor Martini directly.
