Lessons Learned from 14 years as an Editor-In-Chief (for Elsevier)

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on

As some of you may know, I recently announced that I would be stepping down as the Editor-In-Chief (EIC) for the Elsevier journal titled Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (FINEL).  I had served in that capacity since 2010, so roughly 14 years, and the team at Elsevier indicated that it was time for someone new to take over the role.  Although I would have been more than happy to stay on, in time I did appreciate that it was probably better for the community to pass the reins on to someone else. 

can we stop cracks due to elastic modulus changes ahead of crack tips?

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on

Dear Colleague

   It is known that ahead of a crack subject to static or fatigue loading microcracking and damage makes the material soften (of smaller elastic modulus) but also its strength degrades (in composite materials, there are so called “wearout models” which associate strength reduction exactly to the reduction of modulus).
