CALL FOR PAPERS

Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids

2013 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition

San Diego, CA, November 2013

Nanoscale Mechanics of Polymer Nanocomposites and Nanostructured Materials

Organized by

Dr. Ashfaq Adnan, University of Texas at Arlington

Dr. Hassan Mahfuz, Florida Atlantic University

Co-Sponsored by the AMD Experimental Mechanics Technical Committee

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF TOPIC

Cam Follower Prototype- GIF File

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on Tue, 02/05/2013 - 05:50

This is my cam follower prototype for clean energy cheaper than coal. Cam is used to open and close valve of internal combustion engine. I am going to show you another use. In my cam follower system,

1. Follower is off set.

2. Force is applied from follower to cam. Since the follower is off set this force help cam to rotate.

3. We use energy(Input energy) to move follower and get energy(output energy) on cam.

Hi all,

I am working on modelling a reinforced concrete bfoundation in ANSYS and am trying to model the concrete material. Does anyone have a good idea of how i could go about this?

Thanks for your help.

crystallography

Does anyone know of a good source for free science and engineering illustrations? I'm particularly interested in crystallography, crystal defects/dislocations, and mechanical properties illustrations.

Thanks

Elastocapillarity

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 18:57

These notes are part of a course on advanced elasticity. The notes recall several phenomena where both elasticity and surface energy are significant, including

Griffith crack
Adhesion of flexible structures
Wafer bonding
Contraction of a soft elastic sheet

The notes also contain a formulation of combined surface energy and elasticity of finite deformation.

Compatibility Equations of Nonlinear Elasticity for Non-Simply-Connected Bodies

Compatibility equations

non-sinply-connected bodies

Compatibility equations of elasticity are almost 150 years old. Interestingly they do not seem to have been rigorously studied for non-simply-connected bodies to this date. In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient compatibility equations of nonlinear elasticity for arbitrary non-simply-connected bodies when the ambient space is Euclidean. For a non-simply-connected body, a measure of strain may not be compatible even if the standard compatibility equations ("bulk" compatibility equations) are satisfied.
