Dear imechanica members,
I am glat to inform your the organization of the workshop "Impact of mechanical and thermal loads on the long term stability of PV modules" on 05th November 2013 at ISFH (Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin), in Hamelin, Germany.
This is the preprint of an article that will appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. (doi:10.1016/j.jmps.2013.09.025).
Atomistic-to-Continuum Multiscale Modeling with Long-Range Electrostatic Interactions in Ionic Solids
by Jason Marshall and Kaushik Dayal, Carnegie Mellon University
Abstract
We present a multiscale atomistic-to-continuum method for ionic crystals with defects. Defects
One post-doctoral fellowship is available in RealTcut, funded by the Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Study
http://www.usias.fr/fr/fellows-2013/
The goal of the post-doc is to extend the preliminary results which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/KqM7rh6sE8s and will appear shortly in the journal Medical Image Analysis
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin September 2014 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level.
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched last year, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites have
extensive applications due to their high strength, corrosion resistance,
low maintenance and design flexibility. However, moisture absorbed by
composite components plays a detrimental role in the integrity and
durability of hybrid structure since it can degrade the mechanical
properties and induce interfacial delamination failures. In the current
study, the moisture diffusion characteristics in two-phase
(unidirectional S-glass fiber reinforced epoxy matrix/unidirectional
graphite fiber reinforced epoxy matrix) hybrid composites using moisture
concentration-dependent diffusion method have been investigated. In the
moisture concentration-dependent diffusion method, the diffusion
