Approaching the ideal elastic strain limit in silicon nanowires
In our new paper published on Science Advances, we carefully measured the elastic mechanical properties of individual silicon nanowires by uniaxial tensile straining under both SEM and high-res optical microscope, and demonstrated that high quality VLS–grown single-crystalline Si nanowires with diameters of ~100 nm can be reversibly stretched at room temperature with 10% or more elastic strain, approaching the theoretical limit of silicon.

Defenition of thermal convection coefficient at ABAQUS
Dear all,
Please kindly some one explain how could we define thermal convection coeficient at ABAQUS, if possible?
Do we need to define it at interaction modulus?

cdmHUb Hands-on Workshop for Composites Learning, Teaching and Research in the Cloud
Join us at the American Society for Composites 31st Technical Conference (Williamsburg, VA) for a hands-on workshop, on September 18, from 7:00–9:00pm, on how to use cdmHUB.org for composites learning, teaching, and research in the cloud. This workshop features an overview of the cdmHUB cyberinfrastructure, and how to use cdmHUB for learning, teaching, and research. We will demonstrate how to use cdmHUB to develop and launch composites simulation tools.
Competing mechanisms between dislocation and phase transformation in plastic deformation of single crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia nanopillars
Molecular dynamics (MD) is employed to investigate the plastic deformation mechanisms of single crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSTZ) nanopillars under uniaxial compression. Simulation results show that the nanoscale plastic deformation of YSTZ is strongly dependent on the crystallographic orientation of zirconia nanopillars. For the first time, the experimental explored tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation is reproduced by MD simulations in some particular loading directions.
Ansys thermoelastic usermat
Hi, can you, please, give me some hint how to write a thermoelastic usermat in ansys and how to use it in coupled thermo-structural analysis?
Note that I need to write usermaterial for thermal as well as structural problem.
Thank you!!
Bafty
Journal Club for September 2016: Developments and challenges in miniaturized in situ experiments – Towards small-scale fracture mechanics
Small-scale mechanics, especially in situ in electron microscopes, is what I enjoy spending my time with. Within this monthly journal club topic on iMechanica, I would like to give a quick recapitulation of what happened in micromechanics, of course with special emphasis to in situ techniques, over the last years to set the stage. Subsequently, we should revisit some longstanding issues before turning towards recent developments in the field of fracture testing.
Mini-symposium at ICF14 on "Fracture and contact in multiphysics problems: from energy to biological applications"
Dear Colleague,
I kindly inform you that, in the framework of the 14th International
Conference on Fracture (ICF14), to be held in Rhodes, Greece, June 18-23,
2017, we are organizing a mini-symposium on "Fracture and contact in
multiphysics problems: from energy to biological applications".
If you are interested, please submit your two-page abstract through the
ICF14 website (www.icf14.org) by October 31, 2016, selecting our
mini-symposium.
