Professor Huajian Gao of Brown University speaks at MIT Distinguished Seminar Series (March 2016).
It is a unique opportunity to enjoy the many important recent achievements of Huajian's group.
Mechanics as an Enabling tool in bioinspired materials and biological interactions of nanomaterials
Here.
Not to be missed!
I wanted to bring attention to the very important Fontanela et al recent results in vibrations of cyclic structures like in turbine engines.
I do not think in Imechanica there has been an obituary for Paul Paris, whose work in fatigue crack propagation is extraordinary and one of the few important and lasting contributions ----- today our aircrafts, both civil and military, all rely on "damage tolerance", which is based on Paris' law. Paris' law, as every great innovations, was published in 1961 only after rejection by three of the leading journals in the fracture mechanics field. It bears the name of "law" although of course it is not like Newton's law. It is a power law, based perhaps on what Baren

Some Closed-Form Results for Adhesive Rough Contacts Near Complete Contact on Loading and Unloading in the Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts Regime
Journal of Tribology Copyright VC 2018 by ASME JANUARY 2018, Vol. 140 / 011402-1
Recently, generalizing the solution of the adhesiveless random rough contact proposed
by Xu, Jackson, and Marghitu (XJM model), the first author has obtained a model for
