Student Travel Award and Paper Contest IMECE 2012

Submitted by Huajian Gao on



The AMD Executive Committee (EC) is pleased to announce a student travel award and best paper competition at IMECE 2012 (http://www.asmeconferences.org/congress2012/) this year. This award is aimed to encourage younger members and particularly graduate students to participate in IMECE and the activities of the Division.

Shear waves, medecine and brain

Submitted by tlaverne on

 Usually ultrasound equipment in medicine only use compressional waves.
But since human tissues have a high bulk modulus, the P-wave speed is
relatively constant (around 1580 m/s). Human tissues are very stiff if
you apply isotropic constraints on them (like pressure of water).
However M. Fink and his colleagues proposed a new way to investigate
human tissues by first sending a strong compressional wave in the tissue
that is able to make ripples in the body, then shear wave are produced

Calculating BMD for a hollow pipe beam

Submitted by nickg on

I have tested steel pipe (as a beam) under lateral distributed loads. Longitudenal strain gages are on the top and bottom lines of the pipe. Could any one suggest to me how can I derive the bending moment distribution along the pipe. I have E, I , t (thickness, and r(radius) for the pipe.

 I have found a formula from litrature as follows : M = K.E.I

Where K = curvature = 0.5 * (ε_tension side - ε_compression side) / C (i.e the Half Section Depth, or pipe radius)
