umat for wood constitutive model

Submitted by shiriwuhen on

Dear friends:

   I have a question about wood which is anisotropic in material property that confused me for a long time.Now I ask what you master that how to write the subroutine of the constitutive model of wood, who have the subroutine if you can share it with me?Thank you!

Truly yours,

Deadline Extended - Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures Symposium at 49th SES Meeting (Abstract Deadline: May 2, 2012)

Submitted by Tim Rupert on

Dear Colleagues,

 

The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to May 2, 2012 for the 49th SES Meeting.  Dan Gianola and I are hosting a symposium on the Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures, and would like to solicit abstracts for oral presentations. 

 

If you are interested in presenting your work, please go to the conference website to submit an abstract:

Sincerely,

 

A very slender hollow column subjected to compression

Submitted by Hongyuan Zhou on

Hi, everyone, my friend asks me whether it is possible to: construct a extremely slender hollow column of 100 m long and less than 1 m* 1 m in cross-section dimension, which can withstand 10 ton compression force from the two ends without buckling/failure. The material is not fixed.

With such a large length-to-diameter (hollow section) ratio, intuitively, I think it is impossible to withstand the compression with such a slender column.But I am not very sure.

Your comments are very much appreciated!

Postdoctoral Positions in MicroPhysiological Systems

Submitted by kkparker on

We have several postdoctoral positions opening now and in the coming months. We are especially interested in candidates with backgrounds in theoretical biomechanics who are interested in conducting bench experiments. These positions will focus on our efforts to recapitulate organ-level function on microchips for drug discovery and physiological studies.
