In a previous post, Learning to be a PhD advisor, I wrote about learning to do my job from students. Over the years, I have also learned from writings of other scientists on doing research, its dynamics: competition, despair, and exhilaration... Here is a small sample that occurs to me this morning.
POSITION:
The Department of Engineering Mechanics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level for candidates with research experience or strong interest in cell/tissue biomechanics (mammalian or plant), nanodevices, bioMEMS/NEMS, nanomechanics/materials/manufacturing/fluidics, biomaterials, and bionanomechanics. Exceptional candidates could be considered for a higher rank.
QUALIFICATIONS:

The American Academy of Mechanics is pleased to announce that
Jacob Fish, the Rosalind and John J. Redfern Chaired Professor of Engineering at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Martin Ostoja-Starzewski, Professor of
Mechanical Science & Engineering at University of Illinois have both been
elected as Fellows of the Academy. They will be presented with certificates
honoring their new status at the first AAM Summer Conference to be held from
Hi all
Given the radial displacement in the form of a linear elasticity equation's solution, how do I calculate the stress tensor considering the solid is hookian?
i'm try to do this model by abaqus and i faced some problems.any help is appreciated.
it is a 3 layers plates,a viscoelastic material sandwich between 2 steels.any kind of help,e.i,papers,thesis or notes etc are
welcome.
i modeled the 2 steel as sheel 'S8R"and the rubber as contiuum "c3d20r",rubber is not thin.
I have noticed that a lot of people are using UMAT and VUMAT material model
subroutines for their researches. However, most of these subroutines do not
find their way to free code market and remain in the hands of the developers.
Therefore, a lot of wheel re-inventing has to be done by other people. Since
development and testing of a material subroutine takes a damn long time, I
think it is a good idea if each of us can share the subroutines she has
developed with the others. I know that a couple of subroutines are publicly
