Dear All,

The Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Ningbo University, China, has multiple openings in Solid Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics for experienced and junior applicants.

The Department has been supported by Zhejiang Province under Center for Excellence program for broad subjects related to Engineering Mechanics research and education.  We also have special funds for the enhancement of the Fluid Mechanics program.

More details on the current research and education program  of the Department can be found at http://mech.nbu.edu.cn.

Applicants and inquiries should be addressed to 

Dear colleagues,

  There are only five days left to submit an abstract to 2011 MRS Spring

Respected Sir,

                    I want to know the answer of following questions

1) what is tensor?need of it? & its physical signjficance?

2)what is the psocedure to write high order tensor in matrix form?

3)is there any general formula to calculate no. of independent variable in tensor for any dimension? 

hi my friends, i am new in abaqus, i want to use Mohr-Couloumb plasticity to simulate the uniaxial compression of a coal sample, the behavior of coal is stain softening, i want to know how many data points should i use in the hardening menu of Mohr-coloumb plasticity (cohesion yeild stress & Absolute plastic strain ).

you know that the strain sofening bhavior has yield point and peak and then post peak (softening).

when i make the simulation i used 3 data points
