EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS OF MATERIALS



The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position. Applicants are sought at the Associate or Assistant Professor level with expertise in experimental solid mechanics.  Areas include but are not limited to the study of heterogeneous material systems, biomaterials, nanomaterials, thin films, fracture, fatigue and damage.

Using Acoustic Emission to Detect onset of Fracture

Submitted by Arash Karpour on

Hi Every one,

Dose any one know where I can get a good Manual/document on "detecting onset of fracture using acoustic emission"?

I heard some say this method of detecting onset of the fracture has lots of error and is not accurate..is this true? if yes,why? Are there other methods to find the onset of the fracture in an experiment?

 

Molecular Dynamics

Submitted by Sandip Haldar on

Hi,

I am a graduate student. I want to start learning Molecular Dynamics
specially in respest to Continuum Mechanics/Fracture Mechanics. Can anybody give me some
light about how to start or which textbook to start with?

 I want to use Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel

Simulator (LAMMPS) package (C++ version). Is there any group/person who is using this package? I need some help.

Sci & Engng Publication Output and the Research &Publication Environment in the US: NSF Reports

Submitted by Andrew Norris on

Within the last two weeks the US National Science Foundation (NSF) published not one but two studies on (a) the attitudes of scientists and engineers to the changing world of publication, and (b) the relative global productibity of US science & engineering as measured by journal publication.    



These are not dense 500 page reports, but short, readable (10-15 min.).  I think iMechanica readers will find them relevant and interesting:
