Question: 3D implicit surface mesher
I want to mesh a 3D surface given as an implicit equation into triangle elements. For example, cos(x)+cos(y)+cos(z)+0.2=0 with -pi<x<pi, -pi<y<pi,-pi<z<pi. Is there any software can do it?

Abaqus problem
I'M USING ABAQUS IN MODELING A BEAM UNDER flexural, "BENDING". my problem is the concrete material model with tension stiffening. my problem is occured repeatedly for all element types.
Although, i imported the input files obtained from the ABAQUS ducomentaion for support; the same error obtained.. the programe message is
The plasticity/creep/connector friction algorithm did not converge at 10 points
Abaqus for Backplate of drum brake
Hi..
Anyone here could help me out as to how to use abaqus for analyzing the back plate of the drum brakes??
and also.... please give me some website where in i cud get some tutorial stuff for abaqus. im starting to learn abaqus.
thanks.
New (Free!) Solid Mechanics Textbook
I have posted an advanced solid mechanics textbook on http://solidmechanics.org/
It works on Internet Explorer, but may not work on all browsers. Topics include: mathematical descriptions of deformation and forces in solids; constitutive laws; analytical techniques and solutions to linear elastic and elastic-plastic boundary value problems; the use and implementation of FEA; fracture mechanics; and the theory of deformable rods, plates and shells.

Please visit www.jove.com
You'll find tons of video about biological experiments you might be interested in. It is very useful for most of mechanicians who lack this kind of knowledge and experience. Enjoy yourself!
ASME Congress IMECE09 Topic on the Mechanical Behavior of Nanocomposite Materials
You are invited to present your research work on the mechanical behavior of nanocomposite materials (Nov. 13-19, 2009 in Florida ). This topic will be focused on systematic mechanics experiments, modeling and simulations to solve new challenging mechanics problems such the effect of nanofiller agglomeration on the stiffness and strength reduction; interfacial stress transferring and interface strength evaluation at the nanoscale.
Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational Fuel Cell Catalyst Design at IUPUI
A postdoctoral research position in first-principles based
multiscale modeling of catalysts for PEM fuel cells is available immediately at
the Richard
G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy in Indiana University-Purdue University
Indianapolis (IUPUI). The candidate will work on a
project on developing low-cost yet high-performance low temperature fuel cells.
This project involves close collaborations with the experimental scientists.
The candidate should hold a doctor degree in a relevant discipline, such as Materials
Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering. The ideal
candidate should have a strong background in atomistic scale simulations
(Density Functional Theory, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods) and scientific
Animated Instruction Manuals for Installation, Commissioning & Maintenance of Engineering equipment
It is often an arduous task to install an equipment referring the instruction manual that comes with it. To attend to this problem I have developed the concept of complete instruction manual in animated format. Please refer to my site www.animatedmanuals.com to see some demos.
