Hello!
I am wondering if anyone could recomend som literature for me to get my hands on.
If there is any literature regarding how the appereance of a crack in a piece of thin metal (~0,5mm - 1 mm) could be related to pressure fatigue or thermal fatigue.
Does the crack due to thermal fatigue have a specific appereance and so on. I need get my hands on practical pictures and so on, not equations.
Are there any signs in the vicinity of the crack that is indicating that this could be due to pressure fatigue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Dear Colleagues:
Wing Kam Liu and I (Ashfaq Adnan) would like to invite you to submit abstract(s) to the following mini-symposium at the upcoming 11th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (http://www.usnccm.org/). The congress is scheduled to be held on July 25-29, 2011 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
14.2 Multiscale Transport Phenomena in Biological and Biomedical System
I am currently seeking two PhD students to pursue separate research projects in computational multiscale mechanics within the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at CU Boulder: (1) overlap coupling between a 3D ellipsoidal DEM code and a finite strain pressure-sensitive micromorphic elastoplasticity finite element implementation in an opensource C++ code Tahoe ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/tahoe/ ) to model interfacial mechanics between deformable solids and dense dry granular materials; and (2) multiscal

TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION: The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University invites applicants for a faculty position in the area of autonomous space systems. The appointment will start in August 2011. The search is focused at the Assistant and Associate Professor level, but exceptional candidates who qualify for the rank of Full Professor will also be considered.
The group of Advanced Materials and Ultrasonic Wave Lab at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is seeking one highly motivated candidate for Ph.D. positions. The appointment is starting on August 2011 or January 2012. The research topics involve dynamic modeling, elastic wave propagation, experimental design and analysis of the multifunctional metamaterials with complex microstructures.A M.S. or equivalent degree in solid mechanics, wave propagation, or material science is needed. Talented applicants with a B.S.
