A great russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold died on 3rd of June, 2010 in Paris
Vladimir Arnold died on 3rd of June 2010 in Paris, just 9 days before his 73rd birthday.
I am sure many mechanicians know him by his books, such as

Mohr's Circle---When Was the Last Time You Used It in Your Professional Engineering Work?
As a consultant in computational mechanics, I currently help write some FEM-related code, and while doing this job, an episode from a recent past came to my mind. Let me go right on to the technical issue, keeping aside the (not so good) particulars of that episode. (In case you are curious: it happened outside of my current job, during a job interview.)
If you are a design engineer, FE analyst, researcher, or any professional dealing with stress analysis in your work, I seek answers to a couple of questions from you:
Question 1:
soil mechanical properties for abaqus model
hi everybody
i am looking for soil mechanical properties for material definition in abaqus.
i need triaxial date or shear data for one type of soil,
can you introduse some database for this work.
best regards

Experimental data with different specimen sizes for single notch bending test
Hello, everyone!
The size effect in fracture is an important topic in fracture toughness. However, when we measure the fracture toughness of ductile materials, the standard specimens in ASTM E399 are usually adopted. I find there are few experimental data with different specimen sizes available for single notch bending test, so dose somebody provide some clues or hints for this kinds of experimental results? Thank you very much!
notch tip radius
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a way to measure notch tip radius experimentally. Would you give me some ideas about that? is there any relationship between morphology of notched cracked body surface and notch tip radius?
Thank you and Regards,
on convected coordinates (curvilinear)
Please suggest me any good reference on curvilinear convected coordinates. I am finding it difficult to physically interpret and visualize the concept. I would be very thankful.
