In this paper, we study the effect of normal and shear strains and
oxygen vacancies on the structure of 180^o ferroelectric
domain walls in PbTiO_3.

Two PhD candidate positions are available in the Department of Mechanical engineering at the University of Rhode Island. These fully supported positions are for thesis research to be performed in the area of microstructure/damage interactions in advanced superalloys at elevated temperature in both air and vacuum environment. The successful candidate must have a Master degree in areas related to numerical simulation of material behavior using Abaqus platform, has exposure to mechanical testing and is strong in both materials science and mechanics. Interested candidates can
The Department of Civil Engineering at NCSU has an opening for tenure track faculty position in the general areas of Structural Engineering and/or Mechanics. The plan is to hire the best candidate irrespective of the specific area of research focus. Interested applicants are urged to act quickly, as the final review of applications may begin as early as next week (the week of January 11). The official advertisement is given below.
Hi everyone,
I am not a student majoring in the mechanics. But I have found that: the element eroding method is so powerful in numerical simulation (i.e. using ls-dyna) if we reduce the mesh size, then we can get a very perfect fracture process of material. So why we need fracutre mechanics?

Dear friends
I am using ABAQUS for thermal analysis using laser moving heat source. I have successfully implemented DFLUX for thermal and subsequent stress analyses. My question is: How can I progressively delete (during moving heat source) those elements in transient thermal analysis whose temperature is above melting temperature? My intention is to analyse their effect on stress fields in subsequent coupled stress analysis.

Dear All
I want to knnow what is the Strain VAlues at the SA-387(or 11/4 Cr 1/2 Mo Ni Si) plate at 940'F and in creep RAnge at time of 1000000 Hrs of loading...how to find Strain Values at SAme TEmp & Time and Diff loading of mtrls like 10,100, 1000 and So on..
Please Help...
