21st Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM21)
Dear Colleague,
The 21st Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM21) will be held at the Conference Centre of the City Campus, Victoria University, Melbourne, 7-10 December 2010. The conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The Attached flyer outlines the conference scope, important dates, registration fees, topics covered and other conference details.
Lectureship in Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to advertise an opening of a lectureship in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford
The lectureship is in the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics part of the Mathematical Institute . I am particularly interested in candidates at the interface between mathematics and mechanics.
GEM4 Summer School on Cellular and Molecular Mechanics 2010 - Natl Univ Singapore (Jul 25 - 31, 2010)
The Global Enterprise for Micro Mechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4, www.gem4.org) and the Research Centre of Excellence (RCE) in Mechanobiology will be organizing a Summer School on Cellular and Molecular Mechanics with a focus on Mechanobiology. The 2010 GEM4 Summer School will be held from July 25 - 31, 2010 at the National University of Singapore. This 2010 Summer School will comprise both lectures and lab demonstrations.
On efficient finite element assembly in Matlab
As we all know, finite element matrices are sparse and many memory can be saved if their sparsity is exploited. Due to the latter, we are often provoked to declare the nxn stiffness matrix as a sparse one just before the element loop. Be careful of this method since the larger the matrix the slower the assembly operations. There is a better and more efficient way to code the assembly procedure in Matlab. I will show how to accomplish this. For the sake of simplicity, the stiffness matrix of the two-dimensional heat conduction problem on the domain (0,1)x(0,1) is considered.
how to active adaptive mesh option in ADINA System?
hello to every body ;)
Iam hasani- gradute student
I'm new user in adina. i worked by ansys and abaqus for several projects.
in adina when i choose control>solution process...>adaptive meshing> full the program return it to none!.
i tried to understand about the reason. but in fact i can not find the problem.
i think in program , there are some constraints that should be change before the full adaptive meshing.
please help to find the problem. thanks
Looking for a post-doc position in computational mechanics and structural engineering. I will be your best choice
Having achieved many goals in my career of computational methods in structural mechanics, structure engineering, finite element method and computational simulation of structural construction process, I am interested in widening my professional horizons by seeking new challenges. I am looking for a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics and structural engineering.

Load-displacement curve in ABAQUS
Hi all
I want to derive a load-displacement curve for a compoaite laminate shell which is subjected to a uniform displacement field in ABAQUS. The problem is somehow similar to example 1.1.14.
I have derived the data for Reaction force of each node and also for the Us. The curve for the maximum node is plotted but the data are half of the values reported in Example 1.1.14. I don't know what's wrong with it. Please help me with this problem.
