Wavelengths of surface features
I am working on the surface features of steel . I understand that surface features are broken down into various wavelengths and represented as Wa to We (0.1mm to 30mm wavelengths). Could some guide me to a reference which shows how to go about this process from the raw surface profile data ? Possibly, it involves Fourier Transforms, but I need a basic reference which shows how it is done .
Thanks!
Call for abstract-ASME IMECE 2011 Symposium on Integrated Structures and Materials in Advanced Technologies
Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to a Symposium on Mechanics of Integrated Structures and Materials in Advanced Technologies at the ASME 2011 IMECE, to be held Nov 11-17, 2011, at Denver, Colorado. This symposium will be the sixth in such a symposium series organized by ASME Technical Committee of Integrated Structures since IMECE 2006. We hope you can join us and continue the success of this symposium series.

Learn Engineering on Anatomy in an Innovation Course
At least 25 Innovation Courses will be organized all over the world by Materialise.
The Innovation Course is an accessible, 2-day, hands-on training in the Mimics Innovation Suite in which you start with medical image data, create accurate 3D models and learn to; e.g. do 3D measurements and analyses, prepare for FEA and design patient-specific implants.
Join us at a location of your choice to see how powerful, yet how easy it can be to preform engineering operations on anatomical data.
problem regarding critical initial time step in poroelastic material during consolidation process.
Forums
Dear all,
I have a problem regarding critical initial time step in poroelastic material during consolidation process.
As we know, for implicit integration method, it's unconditionally stable. But for the consolidation of poroelastic material,
there is a critical time step t_critical derived by Vermeer and Verruijt (1981), this has also been inclued in the abaqus software (http://129.25.22.58:2180/v6.7/books/exa/default.htm).
