Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region and Australasian Structural Engineering Conference 2010

The 5^th International Civil Engineering Conference (CECAR5) hosted by Engineers Australia, together with the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference (ASEC 2010) will bring together a broad cross-section of the civil and structural engineering professions who want to learn, network and advance their technical skills.

I am confused about the use of two-point tensors in elasticity. The deformation tensor F and first PK tensor are two point tensors, and the "two-point" property arises from use of two different Coordinate System When a continuum body is deformed, why it is necessary to move the Coordinate System as well? (or alternatively, why the coordinate system is attached to the body itself??, isn't it possible to use a general coordinate system which can represent the deformations and also account for the rigid body rotations of the continuum body?).

An old book of elasticity with excellent and precise theoretical explanations. It is still valuable and inspiring book in elasticity up to now.

Hi

i am studying adhesive joints of sandwich panel.I used contact elemet in  ANSYS software to modeling adhesive but my solution did not converge.I used smaller elements and increased the number of susteps, but they could not help me. do you know what the problem is?

thanks in advance,

Best Regards
