Elastic Deformations & Lie Groups/Algebras
I'm interested in representing elastic deformation in terms of Lie groups/algebras. Is anyone working on this area ? I think it's easiest to start (end !) with homogeneous deformations. Thanks, John.
6th International Conference on Fracture, Composites and Adhesives 11-15 September 2011
This will be the 6th International Conference in the series organised by the European Structural Integrity Society - Technical Committee 4 on Fracture Mechanics related to Polymers, Polymeric Composites and Adhesives. We are again inviting papers in the areas reflecting the current and future interests of TC4 as listed below.
Both experimental and analytical work is sought in order to give a balanced view of the subject areas:

help about secnd order effect in columns
ello all,
I am an M.S student, my subject in modelling of high strength concrete column under eecentric loading. I made a model of reinforced
concrete column with in ANSYS by solid65 to represent concrete and link8 for steel.
My model is 200*200*4000 mm, i choose multi., conc.,and elastic linear for concrete, closing crushing for it, for steel bilinear, elastic.
Slenderness ratio (l/d)=20 Although Using large displacement analysis option, model give me very small displacement (less than

Material properties and temperature

Hi All,
As you know the material properties such as Modulus of Elasticity, Poisson's ratio and Shear Modulus are temperature dependent. Especially, the polymer material as it shows significant reduction in strength and stiffness with temperature increasing.
I did a tensile test on adhesive material at different temperatures. The results showed that the E-modulus is reduced about 70% at 60 °C and the Poisson’s ratio increased also.
Research Associate position on Multiscale Modelling of Thermal Barrier Coatings (Cardiff University)
A full time postdoctoral research associate position is available at Cardiff University under the supervision of Professor Bhushan L. Karihaloo and Drs Kulasegaram and Zhu, funded by FP7. http://www.engin.cf.ac.uk/research/resInstitute.asp?InstNo=13
The research aims to develop novel metal-ceramic materials for aerospace and automotive applications.
Objectives:
Explicit solvers (LS-Dyna) : Are they faster and more accurate then implicit FEM (Marc) for solving large plastic deformation
