ABSTRACT DEADLINE APPROACHING 31st July 2012

Dear Colleagues

We have received a healthy number of abstracts already for CM13 but we invite you to consider submitting one if you have not done so already. The deadline is 31st July 2012 with full papers due October 15th 2012 (so that they can be reviewed). Please visit the conference website for more details, or contact me directly. I hope some of you can join us in England in 2013.

Moisture

Humidity Generation

Humidity conditioning

Humidity has huge effects on multiple multiple mechanical properties such as Stiffness, Fatigue, Creep, bonding, adhesion, corrosion , flowability,stress ,strain in areas such as Polymers, concrete, cement, wood, powders,foodstuff,Bio and other materials.see www.genrh.com for further details or applications.Controlling Humidity critically in conjunction with characterisation techniques such as DMA,AFM,Tensile testing, rheology,XRD,Raman,FTIR and microscopy is key in researching areas such as Moisture Induced Phase transitions, Relaxa

residual stress distribution in pipe

Submitted by amir r on Sun, 07/22/2012 - 21:15

research

Hi every body

I study the residual stress derived from a circumferential weld on the end of a pipe and degree of freedom in the other end have been taken

but i have a problem in residual stress distribution along axis of pipe.

its known that the axial stress at the end of constrainted end should be zero or little but mine is in order of 100 MPa while residual stress is 300 MPa.

can anybody give me a hint about whats the source of error

thanks

TeX-based equation image generator

Submitted by N. Sukumar on Sun, 07/22/2012 - 00:20

software

LaTeX

If you would like to include LaTeX equations in a presentation (Powerpoint, Keynote, or others), and have not found a good solution so far, then you might wan't to consider TeXclip. It is on the web (no installation needed) and high-quality images of the TeX equations can be incorporated into a presentation rather seamlessly. I have been using TeXPoint so far, but do like the simple usage and the quality of the images that TeXclip generates.
