Benefits of Micromechanical Fracture Modeling

The attached paper was recently published
in Applied Physics Letters. We show for the first time that Nucleation and
Condensation of Water can be spatially controlled. Such control of nucleation
phenomena and the fundamental findings discussed in the paper have implications
for the Energy and Water industry. The paper can be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?APL/95/094101/1

For those of you interested in the geometry of light frameworks and models for extremely porous materials, here are a couple of links. The first one contains two 3D objects. You need Java to view them.

I am working on fracture mechanics , calculating K and J in ABAQUS
Can you please tell me how to model singularity at crack tip in Hypermesh/ABAQUS -CAE.

Do we have any tutorial available on internet ?

I am looking into object oriented programing of the finite element method. I don't know whether somebody can provide a general-purpose oop design of a general finite element program, say a linear static analysis of a 3D solid. Or somebody who are experienced in this field point out some good references for this purpose. It will be better if the oop design is language free, i.e. not directly related with implementation in a specific language such as c++. Thanks in advance.

We are currently seeking candidates for a Post-doctoral Fellow position in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Northwestern University. The successful candidate is expected to possess a Ph.D. in engineering or science and must have experience in the area of computational mechanics, broadly involving computational inelasticity, finite elements and continuum mechanics. Knowledge of discrete mechanics is desirable but not essential.
