We are pleased to show the results of our 2015 Animations Contest, which offered our users the chance to demonstrate their innovative work by having their 3D image data converted into a high-quality animation by our experienced engineers.
This themed issue on mechanical metamaterials invites contributions from different perspectives with the aim of highlighting the latest advances in the field.
The themed issue will focus on mechanical metamaterials in the general sense. This includes acoustic and elastic metamaterials as well as other types of metamaterials with unique mechanical and/or thermal properties at any length scale.
Topics of interest include the following:
The computational nano and micromechanics group under the direction of Prof. Huck Beng Chew is looking for interested Ph.D. applicants for study in the general area of mechanics of materials.
The School of Engineering at Stanford University (http://soe.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor) in the broadly defined field of robotics and autonomous systems. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialization area or department affiliation.

Emission regulations such as the EU ECOdesign or US Department of Energy Pump Systems directives require pumps to be designed based on their life cycle emissions and hence require pump stages to be optimized considering multiple operating points.
Hello everyone,
I need to compute the second derivatives of displacement field in ABAQUS, in the integration point of quadratic elements if it is possible. I thought about using USDFLD subrutine, but I am stuck with getting the Jacobian matrix that couples the isoparametric space with the physical space in ABAQUS. GETVRM is what everyone suggests to get variables from abaqus, however I did not find the definitions of JMAC, JMATYP... so I do not know what I can get from that subrutine exactly.
Hello,
I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to use of total lagrangian formulation for analysis of a cantilever beam element using UEL abaqus subroutines. my difficulty is how to calculate the internal load and the tangent stiffness matrix. my code does not converge. can you help me. if there is a simple code I was wondering if someone aware me.
Thanks in advance
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
If you plan on attending the 2016 WCCM (July 24-29, 2016) in Seoul, Korea, please consider giving a talk in our mini symposium on “Nanomechanics”, MS 522. You can register and submit an abstract at the link below:
