8th International Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures, March 10-14,2013, Toledo-Spain
Dear Colleagues,
With this notice, I would like to call your attention for the ongoing Call for Papers for the FraMCoS-8, 8th International Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures, that will take place in Toledo-Spain from 10 to 14 March 2013.
Abstracts will be accepted until 15 March 2012.
Pleased to see
I'm pleased to see that over 600 of you have at least read some of my comments and I wouldn't be surprise if not all of you read through to the end.
Abaqus - modelling adhesive joint
Forums
Dear all,
I want to model two composite plates who are connected with an adhesive joint:

the upper and lower plate are modelled as composite plates while the vertical part on the right should represent the adhesive joint between them.

pictures and data of crack propagation experiment or example

Hello,
I am looking for some data/pictures of crack propagation tests. More precisely, what I am looking for are test results of some 2D structure (or structures that can be modeled in 2D) where the experimenter has listed the geometry, material, loads and boundary conditions, and displayed photos of the crack that was observed propagating on loading the structure. Sort of like "heres a plate of dimensions a x b, made of material x, with an initial crack here, I now apply a load of magnitude M, and heres a picture of the crack that has propagated."
Is there anybody who are still studying elastic vibration theory?
I'm a graduate student studying the coupled elastic vibration prolbem of structures and soils. However, I'm not very interested in that, as I think the practical coupled structure and soil vibration problem is totally inelastic, and I don't think it is of great importance to study the elastic case.
Is there anybody studying the vibration problem here and can you tell me what's the importance of studying the elastic vibration problem? Are you interested in inelastic vibration prolbem?
Opening for a Non-tenure-track Instructional Faculty
The Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston has an opening for a non-tenure track instructional faculty position. The ideal candidate should be passionate about teaching will be expected to teach 3 undergraduate courses a semester and help with ABET. A competitive 9-month salary is expected and summer support is possible as well. Although the position is non-tenure track, our intention would be to hire someone for the long-haul.
