This year the Applied Mechanics Division, through the generosity the Haythornthwaite Foundation, presented a new divisional award, the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant. This new grant targets university faculty that are at the beginning of their academic careers engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics. This year there were three recipients of the 2011 awards.

Christian Franck, Brown University

Dennis Kochmann, California Institute of Technology

Hi!,

I want to initiate me in the analysis of composite laminates. Thank you for guiding me through an example of a three-layer laminated beam using the solid186 layered. My problem is in the piling of layers

Thank you and happy new year!!

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to introduce a few work of us in the area of elastic/acoustic wave propagation as well as stress/displacement analysis of composites by some effective mathematical methodologies. Every year with one publication as so far, the problems and the methodologies are very different from each other. We greatly appreciate your interests in the papers and the discussions with us about the technical skills if you have:

The following are two papers on the geometric formulation of classical mechanics. This is a follow up to some recent posting on iMechanica, as well as an attempt to bring about further discussion on the relationship and interaction between differential geometry and classical mechanics.
