Superpositon Principle? how to understand
I have a question about the superpositon principle in Elasticity Mechanichs. Does there exist such a state which can composited to one plane stress state and plane deformation?

Two-year Postdoctoral position on stochastic multi-scale methods
A reliable numerical model is crucial for the design and analysis of modern dynamic engineering systems such as automobiles, helicopters and aircrafts. Uncertainties should be taken into account for credible predictions of quantities of engineering interest of such systems (such as internal stresses, vibration levels). Uncertainties in complex systems include (a) parametric uncertainty (e.g.
RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2)
The RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2) provides the opportunity for participants to become familiar with modelling cementitious materials at four different levels of detail. Different ways of schematization and numerical approaches are considered to simulate the chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour of cementitious materials.

EML Special Issue on 3D Assembly by Cutting, Bending and Folding
When patterned with different materials, gradients or cut-outs, thin structures such as sheets and rods can bend or fold either spontaneously or by actuation in response to a force or stimulus to form a pre-designed three dimensional structure. This special issue addresses the design and mechanics of these structures with a special emphasis on programmability and non-linearity.

PhD scholarship in experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades
The Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics, DTU Wind Energy, is seeking a PhD student for an experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades. The PhD scholarship is part of the OPTI_MADE_BLADE project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark. The project targets the development of design and manufacturing solutions for large (>70m) offshore wind turbine blades.
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:
The surface-forming energy release rate based fracture criterion for elastic-plastic crack propagation and interpretation on paradox of Rice
The J-integral based criterion is widely used in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. However, it is not rigorously applicable when plastic unloading appears during crack propagation. One difficulty is that the energy density with plastic unloading in the J-integral cannot be defined unambiguously.
