Dear all (and Prof. Ciavarella, if you can see this),

I am looking for an equivalent indentation modulus for orthotropic composite materials in a contact problem. Does anybody has any reference or equation to get the value?

2012 Northeast Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Graduate Student Symposium is being arranged in University of Maryland, College Park. Please feel free to express interest. Any graduate student working in the Experimental Mechanics area is welcome to present their research work. Flyer attached.

We are organizing a topic on “Fatigue Failure in Engineering Materials and Structures” in the in the upcoming ASME 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition. We strongly encourage researchers to submit abstract(s) to this topic and attend the conference. You can locate the topic under the Technical Track Section 9 “Mechanics of Structures and Fluids” and Sub-Section 9-29. The conference will be held from November 9 to15, 2012 at the Hilton Americas and the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas.

this book is about designing 2d and 3d modeles.

for any question or guide add comment , i will answer all questions.
