| Mandelbrot has passed away last week. A very interesting mathematician, who received tenure from Yale only at 75, he has introduced fractals also in fracture mechanics. |

Dear Colleagues,
I need the PDF version of the following book can any one send me
Theory Of Thermal Stresses by Prof. Bruno A. Boley
Please kindly send it to my email address:

A Research and Development Scientist position in developing multiscale-multiphysics computational technologies for composite materials and structures is available immediately at the Multiscale Design Systems, LLC located in New York City. The candidate should hold a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline, such as Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering. The candidate should have a strong background in multiscale simulations and scientific programming (C, C++, or Fortran).
We have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of computational mechanics. Specific problems of interest include the nonlocal plasticity, molecular dynamics and meshless methods for continuum damage mechanics. Rich experience of C++, X-windows image processing, and Fortran programming (especially parallel processing) is required. Contact: Professor Jung W. Hong at Michigan State University. Email: jwh@egr dot msu dot edu.
Hi
I will model laminated composite and it have contact element at between layers. Can anybody help me for define of contact element(ANSYS) at between layers?
thank you
I'm simulating the interface between a steel plate and the fire proof coatings covering the steel plate. The elements i use in the simulation is contact 173 with a material property of debonding,which is defined as cohesive zone model.(CZM)
CZM in ansys provides TBDATA such as maximum contact stress,contact at the completion of debonding, but what's the problem is that I failed to set the initial contact stiffness. it's true that ansys provides FKN to define the contact stiffness, but it's just a stiffness factor.
Any idea why energy deviation between successive steps become a large value during molecular dynamics simulation, when the number of steps is increased?
A new postdoctoral position in continuum mechanics is available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Candidates should have a strong background in physics and/or theoretical mechanics, as well as experience with analytical and computational methods for solving partial differential equations. Possible projects include the mechanics of frictional sliding, the mechanics of biomaterials, the mechanics of glassy materials and dislocation-mediated plasticity. Highly motivated candidates are requested to send their CV, publications list and statement of research interests to Dr.
