A question about "A simple linear viscoelastic material in ABAQUS "
there is a example about "A simple linear viscoelastic material " in ABAQUS.Does anyone know what 's the meaning of the constants of u',v' ？Thanks.

Layered Material.
I want to get some information about layered material and its property and nutural plane in bi metal plate while bending.
Post-doc position on Multiscale Simulations of Cell Contact and Adhesion
A post-doc position on multiscale simulation of cell contact and adhesion shall be available this coming Fall at UC Berkeley. We are seeking for a person who has experience and background on finite element computations, especially in cell contact/adhesion modeling and simulation or finite deformation simulations.
Anyone who is interested in the position please send an email, resume, and reference to li [at] ce.berkeley.edu (li[at]ce[dot]berkeley[dot]edu)
Grand Challenges For Engineering
The US National Academy of Engineering has published a list of Grand Challenges for Engineering. Ths US National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics is interested in developing a discussion on the implications of these Grand Challenges to the Mechanics community.
New Book on Polymers and Viscoelasticity
I wish to inform the imechanica community about my recent book, Polymer Engineering Science and Viscoelasticity, Springer, 2008. THe book starts at the beginning and contains both the physics of polymers and the mathematics of viscoelasticity. It is also unique in the history of mechanics in being the (first ever?) father-daughter book. Those interested in polymer mechanics may find this a useful resource! It may be found in your library or further information can be found here
2014 US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
The US National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics is seeking proposals from US institutions interested in hosting the 2014 US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. If you are interested, please contact K. Ravi-Chandar: kravi [at] mail.utexas.edu (kravi[at]mail[dot]utexas[dot]edu) for more information.
