Highlights
- In polymer matrix nanocomposites (PNC), carbon nanotubes (CNT) physically bond with polymeric matrix at a level where the assumption of continuum level interactions is not applicable.
- Modeling and prediction of mechanical response and failure behavior of CNTs and PNCs becomes a task involving up-scale modeling strategies with multiple spatial and temporal scales in hierarchical or concurrent manner.
Dear Professor,
I am Fan Xie, currently a doctoral candidate in solid mechanics, Beihang University. I will receive my Ph. D. degree in July 2016.
I have published one paper about IPC based on phase field method, one paper on nanoporous material and one paper about polymer impact based on MDs is under review. I write this email to inquire about the possibility of a postdoctoral position in your research team.
In brief, I have
We would like to announce An ECCOMAS Advanced Course on Computational Structural Dynamics, shortcourse2016.it.cas.cz . The short course on computational structural dynamics will be held form July 13 to July 17, 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic.
This exciting position is posted today. We are looking for someone who has strong theoretical background in material constitutive modeling and has the ability to do user material coding and simulation automation through python/R/Matlab scripting. Experience with shape-memory alloys is desired. Below is the link:

Nanobrücken 2016: A Nanomechanical Testing Workshop & Hysitron User Meeting will take place March 2nd - 4th, 2016 at the INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken, Germany. This will be the 6th edition of the now-annual Nanobrücken workshop series.
As in the past, the workshop is open to all aspects of nanomechanical and nanotribological testing, including biomechanical, in-situ experimentation and theory/simulation.
Hi I tried to mesh these two plates with two cases having different geometries. I am trying to achieve something similar in complex geometry in abaqus. But I think the problem is with shapes or if it is something else, please help me with this. I tried in solid elements too it did not work either. I have attached image where you can see two cases
Please see the attached file for detailed view
While going through the derivation of contact time for a hertzian contact as given in problem 3 at the following link http://s17.postimg.org/t1kq6mlxr/Capture.png , I am not able to understand how the integral form for contact time has come into picture. Can anyone explain the in-between steps to get the same? I understand that this is a very trivial problem but it will be a great help to understand the steps. Thanks.
Mladena Lukovic of Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) has successfully defended her thesis dealing with mechanics and physics of concrete repair systems on 6th of January. Her thesis can be downloaded at http://repository.tudelft.nl/view/ir/uuid:28b07d9b-c704-47fa-9ba3-cd9fd… , and is of interest to everyone dealing with discrete modelling and micromechanical testing of cementitious and other quasi-brittle materials.
