Help for Publishing Journal Paper Aritcle
Hi All,
I have done postgraduation in mech engg from IIT (India).
I was working for company which I left 2 months before.
Currently I am unemployed. I am (myself) working on some projects in which I believe, very less literature is available till date.
I am carrying out (simulation) trials (on computer) myself.
Now I have queries for all of you.
If I want to publish/write journal article on same, how should I move ahead? I want to persue career in domain I am currently working on.
Sincere request for senior professors, colleague out there to guide/help/provide some useful tips.
Thankyou,
Rujuta
Erik Schlangen in TEDx Talks
Dear all,
Today Prof. Erik Schlangen will be giving a presentation about the current development of the self-healing asphalt. It will take place at 12:18 Amsterdam time, and will be streamed online on: http://www.tedxdelft.nl/livestream/ Don't miss it! More details on: http://pat-asr.blogspot.nl/2012/10/erik-schlangen-in-tedx-talks.html
how to get the pressure value inside the cohesive element
I build a water inject model with COH3D8RP element, in the simulation, I can get the pore pressure value around the cohesive element, but I can't the value inside the cohesive element. the pore pressure changed around the cohesive element because of the pressure inside the cohesive element changes, however, I can't get the value of pressure inside the cohesive element.
Anyone can help, pls!
Postdoc positions in Computational Chemistry/Computational Materials
Two postdoctoral positions in Computational Chemistry/Materials are to be filled in the group of Peter Kroll in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UT Arlington, Arlington, TX. The position is available immedeately and should be filled until January 2013.
Continuum Modeling of Nonlinear Vibration of Graphene Resonators and Graphene-Based Mass Detection
We have employed continuum elastic model such as plate model for understanding the nonlinear vibration behavior of monolayer graphene and graphene resonator-based mass sensing. This work was published in Nanoscale Research Letters (Vol. 7, Art No. 499, 2012).
Abstract
Crushable Foam Plasticity Model (Abaqus 6.10)
I am trying to perform simulation of Crushable Foam Plasticity model. However, I am getting convergence error
***NOTE: THE SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE DIVERGING. CONVERGENCE IS JUDGED UNLIKELY.
***ERROR: TOO MANY ATTEMPTS MADE FOR THIS INCREMENT
Can someone please help. I have attached the image of Abaqus input data.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

Topic 1: Rank top ten severe accidents in energy
sector
1.
Gulf
of Mexico:
The accident
was caused by gas release and subsequent explosion. There were 11 people died.
The accident involved a well integrity failure followed by a loss of
hydrostatic control of the well. BOP emergency functions failed to seal the
well after the initial explosions.

Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear disaster:
