If someone knows of books/articles dealing with the meaning of the concept of potential in physics (or concerning the physical bases underlying the energy methods of mechanics) then I would very much appreciate getting to know about these.
0. I was idly thinking about the current H1N1 flue pandemic, and the following things occurred to me. Please note, I know very little about this subject matter. So, please consider descriptions in the following as, at best, tentative.
1. There is a basic difference between how alcohol kills viruses and how salt-water kills bacteria. [Alcohol is used in the hand-cleaners they use in hospitals. Girgling with salt-water is the first line of defense (and an unexpectedly highly effective one) which is well known for millenia.]
Following successful meetings in Lisbon, Toronto and Sitges, Elsevier will host the Fourth International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis (www.icefa.elsevier.com) at Churchill College in Cambridge from the 4th - 7th July 2010. You are invited to participate in the latest in this important series of conferences, which have established a respected biennial forum for the discussion and dissemination of knowledge and experience in Engineering Failure Analysis.
The eighth biennial Fatigue Damage of Structural Materials conference (www.fatiguedamage.elsevier.com) will once again be held in scenic Cape Cod at The Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis, Hyannis, Massachusetts from the 19 - 24 September 2010. Hyannis is situated on the historic Cape Cod peninsula just 90 minutes from either Logan International Airport (Boston, MA) or TF Green Airport (Providence, RI).
hii friends
I am doing project on damage investigation in drilling of polymer matrix composite and using FEM approach ABAQUS 6.8. so i want to damage compare between trepanning tool & twist drill. i have problem in simulation and plotting(graph). so plz solved this problem
My name is Anis Turki, I am an engineering student at the Tunisia Polytechnic School.
Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) is the first high school of engineers in Tunisia. It provides a multidisciplinary training for its students. Its main purpose is to enable them to assume both technical and administrative responsibilities.
As a future engineer from TPS, I will be able to design, analyze and manage some complex systems thanks to versatile study program including theoretical and applied training in mathematics, physics, economics and languages.
I was wondering if anyone has solved a “sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis” problem using ABAQUS?
If so, here is what I am looking to solve.
Let’s assume we solved for the temperature (T) as a function of time and space using the transient heat transfer analysis given certain BCs.
LightSail Energy, Inc. is an exciting, well-funded startup in the
$100 billion field of green tech energy storage. We are located
in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are seeking to fill several
Mechanical Engineering positions. Applicants should have at least
5 years experience in product design of mechanical components.
Please be familiar with at least some of the following:
design of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, heat transfer,
thermodynamics, fluid power, pistons and seals, and multiphase
sir,
I am solving some problomes for Stresses around holes for Anisotropic cases. In this connection most of authors have solved the stresses in cartesian co-ordinates only. Can I have any papers which are solved in polar co-ordinates by Stroh formalism for Stresses around holes in Composite laminates.So kindly help me
thanking you

Many of us (including myself) have used the nonlinear equations for elastic plates, originally proposed by von Karman (1910). I recently came across a book with some interesting comments about the plate equations, which may be of interest to share with others on imechanica. The book's title is "Plates and Junctions in Elastic Multi-Structures", authored by Philippe G. Ciarlet and published by Springer-Verlag in 1990.
