In imechanica when a blog is posted, we get good response / discussion (or sharing ideas, knowledge etc) from members. This happens many times.
If there is no response for a particular blog even after many days...then....what? It may be updated (because some members might have missed it). Even then also if there is no response, what may be done???
Hi all,
i have to model a concrete member retrofitted with CFRP ,adhesive is used at the interface and strain is to be measured at the interface.
So i am in need of study materials or sugessions for modelling ,type of interfacing to be used ,and the element types .
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am currently seeking candidates for two PhD positions in Petroleum Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU). The successful candidates are expected to possess a master degree in engineering or science and have experience in the area of computational mechanics or finite elements and continuum mechanics.The candidates will be working in the area of hydraulic fracturing, poroelasticity, and mechanics applied to fluid flow in fractured porous media.
Hi all!!!
General theories of failure of laminated composites are Tsai-Hu, Tsai-Hill, Maximum stress and maximum strain. These thoeries do not specify which component (fiber or matrix) of lamina fails.
Sigma_zz, sigma_xz and sigma_yz are out of plane stresses which cause delamination failure of laminated composite structures.
I am looking for exclusive theories of failure which govern delamination failure in laminated composites. I request those who work in this area to help.
Thanx in advance,
Regards,

Dear all,
While reading some "old" discussions in iMechanica, I have come across
a blog by Zhigang to have a collection of "classics" in iMechanica.
Immediately, I searched for such a section, but couldn't locate it. Is
it ever made? If not, why not start it now? I am sure there will be
many juniors like me, who are eager to read those classics.
I'me a student at the Departement of Civile Engineering of university of the algeria.
currently, i'm working on completing my thesis. My research area in general is in mechanics of composite materials. My problem is that of formulating the FEM solution to the Flexural-Torsional of laminate composite beam having orthotropic layers.
