Reminder: Call for Nominations for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

ABAQUS Element Connectivity

Submitted by reza.yaghmaie on

Hi, 

I am trying to mesh the hollow sphere attachged using structured BRICK-8 elements. It turns out in order to have a structured mesh, I have to have 2 partitions such that four quadrants be generated.

What I only need from ABAQUS is the element connectivity. I do not need to solve any problem.

Stretchability and compliance of freestanding serpentine-shaped ribbons

Submitted by Shixuan Yang on

High-performance stretchable electronics have to utilize high-quality inorganic electronic materials such as silicon, oxide or nitride dielectrics, and metals. These inorganic materials usually crack or yield at very small intrinsic strains, for example, 1%, whereas bio-integrated electronics are expected to at least match the stretchability of bio-tissues (20%) and deployable structure health monitoring networks are expected to expand from wafer scale (several centimeters) to cover macroscopic structures (several meters).

Reminder: Call for Abstracts: Symposium on “Multifunctional and Multiphysics Materials for Energy Applications” at SEM 2015 (Abstract Deadline: October 1, 2014)

Submitted by Shuman_Xia on

Dear Mechanics Colleagues:

A pleasant reminder that we invite you to submit an abstract to Symposium on “Multifunctional and Multiphysics Materials for Energy Applications” at the 2015 Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) Annual Conference, to be held on June 8-11, 2015, in Costa Mesa, CA.

Mechanics of supercooled liquids

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

In a pure liquid, molecules touch one another but change neighbors frequently.  External forces cause the liquid to change shape by viscous flow.  Thermal agitation causes  molecules to undergo self-diffusion.  The two phenomena--viscous flow and self-diffusion--often result from a single rate-limiting process:  molecules change neighbors.  This simple picture is amply confirmed by the Stokes-Einstein relation, which links the viscosity and self-diffusivity for many liquids over wide ranges of temperature.

crack extension curve

Submitted by akshay patil on

Dear all

My project work is in crack analysis, so I used cohesive zone model for crack analysis in Abaqus.I implement the cohesive element in crack path but I don't known how to plot crack extension vs time(load, J-integral) curve.

Pls suggest the procedure for ploting crack extension curve.

 

thanks.
