Measuring mechanical properties of nanoparticle in nanocomposite using nanoindenter
Hi There,
I am going to measure the mechanical properties of nanoparticle in Nano composite using nanoindenter. I searched through the literature and I did not find any work that measure this individually and all of them measured properties of nanocomposite not the inclusion itself. ThanksAzadeh
Assistant Professor openings in India
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras is seeking to fill Assistant Professor openings in the broad area of Structural Mechanics. Current focus areas include but are not limited to Structural Dynamics, Composites, Structural Optimization, Smart structures, Aircraft Structural Design, Space Structures and Rotorcraft Dynamics; candidates with an inclination for experimental work are preferred.. Applications will be accepted till the vacancies are filled. Applicants must hold an earned Ph.D.
Effects of the constraint’s curvature on structural instability: tensile buckling and multiple bifurcations
Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?
We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html

Experimental Results: RC beams under blast load
Good morning,
I'm looking for some field results concerning blast load on RC beams. In particular I'm interested in the time history of pressure and deflection. Does anybody know any publication dealing with this topic?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Opening for Master/Ph.D. in computational materials science
Two openings for Master/Ph.D. studentship are now repost for January, 2013 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba in the field of computational materials science. Students with a strong background/intrest in materials simulation (atomistic, e.g., Ab initio, MD or Monte Carlo, or mesoscale phase field simulations) are encouraged to apply.

strain rate dependent (Abaqus)
Hello !!!
I try to model the softening of the masonry resistance in time.
For that I have tested the Cowper-Symonds law that exists in Abaqus. but I can not understand until now the effect of this law sometimes seems to me that it reduces déformations. sometimes it affects the stress (decrease or increase). how this law can modifie the stresses?
if you have any details about Cowper-Symonds law please to answer me
Thanks
UMAT subroutine
Hey guys,
I'm new to using subroutines. I have installed the Intel Fortram Complier v10.1 and using it for running the subroutine UMAT. I am first testing the umat subroutine for Isotropic elasticity as given in the abaqus manual for a single element with one integration point, but I'm facing the following error:
Unexpected error 193
