Hello all,
I would like to seek help on a topic on which I am slightly ignorant.
I do not understand the concept of non local damage and the internal length of the non local continuum as described by the well quoted paper of Pijaudier-Cabot and Bazant (1987) in continuum damage mechanics. So may I please ask the experts in this forum to please explain to me using some simple analogy.
Dear all,
According to polymer theory, the relaxation time depends on its length (or unit number), and there exist some relationships to describe such dependence. The smaller number of polymer units, the smaller the relaxation time of the polymer is. How to describe this via a simple model of visco-elastic springs?
hi all
i need more information about : Cell REV Gurson GTN PP Traction Curves ....
thx
Can anyone cite some resources for chatter vibrations...the google search results dont throw up good results...I need some thing that will explain the basics - mechanics,causes, measuring and control of chatter in machine tools!

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of mechanics of solids and structures. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanics of materials, will be creative and willing to explore new ideas.
Hi,
I am doing a Non-linear Buckling Analysis of a composite wall
I am having hard time modelling the composite wall
The composite wall consists of polystyrene foam as the core element and stucco is applied on either side of the wall.
There is a thin sheet of mesh embedded in the stucco ( please see the attachment for clear visualization).
Boundary Conditions:Uniform compressive load is applied at the top surface and the bottom surface is fixed
what to calculate: Critical Buckling Load, Critical Buckling Stress
