Dear Colleagues,
I wish to bring to you my recent work with my supervisor Hui-Hui Dai on "Some Analytical Formulas for the Equilibrium States of a Swollen Hydrogel Shell". Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.
Hey to imechaica, i am doing my M.E Project in composites.i have done finite element analysis of composite plate with different boundary conditions and different orientation angle with antisymmetric stacking sequence. i absorve tip center displacement of cantilever plate is increasing with orientation angle increment and for simple supported plate it decreases.
stacking sequence is [0/-θ/θ/-θ/θ/0]
please help me to understand this.
<strong>i'm modeling a three pavement layer with tandem loading in explicite mode. i dont know why aborted that analysing with this message:</strong>
"The ratio of deformation speed to wave speed exceeds 1.0000 in at least one element. This usually indicates an error with the model definition. Additional diagnostic information may be found in the message file.
Abaqus/Explicit Analysis exited with an error - Please see the status file for possible error messages if the file exists."
Hi, every one on iMechanica.
I prepare to do analysis for rubber coated metal gasket in compression.
But, I don't know how to define material property.
Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
I am interested in applying for Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) and Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF). These are highly prestigious two-year fellowships (with average salary ~£50k/year):

The deadline is 11 August 2011.IEF is for researchers outside the European Union and IIF is for researchers within the European Union. My areas of interest include:
Looking through books and papers I see an often quoted equation to show that the contact radius (a) of spherical indenter of radius (R) is related to the indentation depth (h):
a= √(R.h)
However, using simple trigonometry of a spherical cap it can be shown that:
a=√(2Rh-h2)
Contact area is very important for use in nanoindentation - however, if it is based on the wrong contact area calculation, then more errors become apparent.

Hi All,
I'm involved in development of AxSTREAM Turbomachinery Coceptual Design Suite.
We belives that AxSTREAM has a great potentia not onlly in industry but in education too. We have good cooperation with PSU and a number of other univercities around globe.
Some time ago we started a new series of animated demo with narration, related to latest version AxSTREAM-III.
Now I'd like to share first ones.
