PhD and Post-Doc positions are now available at the Institut für Angewandte Mechanik of the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany. Both are full-time fixed-term positions for 2 years with the possibility of renewal.
Hi all,
I doing modelling on soft clay behaviour which exhibit softening behaviour during constant strain loading. Here i followed a non-associated flow rule for better prediction of dilation . For the case of non-associated flow rule yield function and plastic potential function should not same i clear in that , my doubt is that we can use two different surface for yield and plastic potential function (eg: linear surface as yield surface and elliptical surface as plastic potential )?
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces three vacant PhD positions in the area of Nanomechanics. NTNU is responsible for educating 80% of the total master level engineers in Norway and represents academic eminence in technology and natural sciences as well as in other academic disciplines. The activity at NTNU includes international collaboration with a large number of industries and academic institutions. The topics of the three PhD positions are strongly connected to industrial applications.
Dear Colleagues
The SES 50th Annual Technical Meeting will be held July 28-31, 2013 at Brown University (Providence, RI, USA).
I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium: "Experimental Nanobiomechanics", under Mechanics of Biological and Soft materials.
Up to four posts are available to join an existing team including a number of recent young hires (Akkerman, Koziara, Coombs, Giani, Mao, Gonnet ... ) in a general engineering school which also includes computer science. We are now one of the largest groups in computational mechanics in the UK.
In this paper, we present a geometric discretization scheme for incompressible linearized elasticity. We use ideas from discrete exterior calculus (DEC) to write the action for a discretized elastic body modeled by a simplicial complex. After characterizing the configuration manifold of volume-preserving discrete deformations, we use Hamilton's principle on this configuration manifold. The discrete Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained without using Lagrange multipliers.

Hello,
I am trying to derive/find an analytical expression
for the torsion of a round bar made of an heterogeneous material. But I just do
not seem to find any solution available in the literature other than for a
homogeneous material, which can be find in any theory of plasticity book (e.g.
Theory of Plasticity, 3rd Ed., J. Chakarabarty, pp. 132-136).
