Mechanics community,
Please find attached the spring 2010 edition of the ASME Committee on Constitutive Equations Newsletter. Included in the newsletter are short articles on "Constitutive Modeling of Skeletal Muscle Tissue" and "Nonlocal Modeling of Materials".

Hi everybody,
is there anyone who is familiar with element deletion or removal to predict crackopening in RC member model in ABAQUS?
I've made a 2D model of RC beam in abaquse with brittle cack properties and brittle failure but I could not get any result. Can I make my model by concrete damage plasticity and using abaqus standard to apply element removal?
I will really appreciate anyone who helps me to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I am looking for papers on the dynamics of AFM cantilevers in contact with non linear material samples. In particular, I am interested in forced armonic vibrations of the catinlevers.
I have seen many papers on intermittent contact (or tapping) which has a number of additional problems w.r.t. the contact mode.
Many thanks for the help.

Hi
I am intending to make a concrete member model to investigate crack opening in tension zone. First, I wanted to use crack propagation model and could not get good result. So, I think that I can do it by using stress/strain principal failure and element removal.
I've tried to fiure out how I can apply this method in my model.
Is there enyone who has experience in this issue? Could you please help me in this matter?
Chao Xu received his B.S. and PhD from Northwestern Poly-technical University (NPU) in 2002 and 2007. He spent one year working as a post-doctoral fellow at University of Canterbury from 2013 to 2014. He is currently a full professor of structure mechanics and aerospace engineering at School of Astronautics, Northwestern Polytechnical University.
His research interests include:
1) structural health monitoring of aerospace structures
2) mechanics and design of composite structures, visocoelastic sandwich structures
These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014.
You can access all notes for the course on fracture mechanics.
Postdoc position is currently open in my group. The research revolves around bioacoustics of marine animals (mammals and fish). The goal is to understand the mechanics of sound production and hearing. Research directions include formulation of specialized finite element models for biological materials, mesh generation from biomedical images, and models for attenuation in tissues. Funding is available for at least one year. Contact: pkrysl-at-ucsd.edu.
