Experimental Micromechanics for Geomaterials

Submitted by Jean-Michel Pereira on

A joint workshop of the ISSMGE TC101-TC105: Experimental
Micromechanics for Geomaterials
will be held on 23rd-24th May
2013 at The University of Hong Kong.



Abstracts are now invited, until the 1st October 2012. They should
be 200-300 words in length, written in English, and show relevance
to the theme of the workshop. Abstracts should be sent to Ms Bridget
Lam. Email: owlam [at] hku.hk (owlam[at]hku[dot]hk) (subject: EXP MICRO 2013)

Question on Local Max-Entropy shape functions and their derivatives at corner particle

Submitted by sivaprasad.avs on

I am using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) with dual particle
approach (please look at the figures in the .ppt file I have attached) to simulate High
Velocity impact phenomena.

The shape function values being 1 at the corner particle and zero at the other particles makes the Jacobian to evaluate the gradients of shape function inconvenient (the jacobian becomes a zero matrix). 

The slides explain my problem more clearly.

Kindly go through them and help me.

help me guys

i need your help. i want to solve the problem of fracture mechanics using ANSYS.

now, i'm trying to solve the problem that is part-through crack in cylinder for stress intensity factor through J-integral. Of course in 3-D.

but, model the cracktip and describe the crack surface is very difficult and complicate.

and i also want to know function of BSPLIN.

Postdoc or Research Associate opening on bi-metallic friction stir welding joining at Texas A&M university at Qatar

Submitted by gayoub on

The work involves working
independently and collaboratively on: Identifying processing parameters that
will optimize the properties of the bi-metallic joint, developing a material
constitutive model for impact loading conditions, developing an experimentally
validated numerical model the can be used to predict the joint performance
under impact loading conditions, and developing design and processing
guidelines for the bimetallic joints.

a question about vibration of plates having variable thickness

Submitted by sayad.boreyri on

Hi everybody!

for plates with constant thickness and two opposite sides simply-supported B.Cs, we can write w(x,y)=f(y)*sin(m.Pi.x) and solving the problem from this viewpoin.

I wonder whether this approach is true for plates with (linearly) variable thickness?

many thanks
