The attached paper was recently accepted for publicaiton in Applied Physics Letters. Here we try to speculate on the origins of a type of electromechanical indentation size-effect. Although we have decent supporting evidence, I think that our assertions are still on the speculative side and hope that future experiments can shed further light on this.
I plan to submit the attached paper on quantum mechanical definition of stress in the next few weeks. Comments and feedback are welcome. Fair amount of work has been done on stress definition in the context of classical molecular dynamics (also attracting some controversies). In contrast, there appear to be several open issues in the quantum case. Hopefully, the attached paper provides a starting point.
Several postdoc positions are available immediately at the University of Minnesota to work on the development of a variety of cutting edge multiscale methods and atomistic simulation techniques. The work will be done in close collaboration with a group of leaders in the field including Prof. Ellad Tadmor, Prof. Richard James, Prof. Mitchell Luskin and Prof. Ryan Elliott. For more information, visit www.multiscale.umn.edu or check out the attached announcement.
How can it be proved that the Green-Lagrange strain components include the rigid body motions?
Postdoctoral position available at Princeton University to participate in a multi-disciplinary research project sponsored by the US Army Research Office (ARO/MURI) at Princeton and Harvard Universities on: Innovative Design of Multi-Functional Adaptive Structural Materials. The candidate will be involved in the Modeling of Hierarchically Porous Material Structures Optimized for Strength and Transport. The candidate must have a strong background in Finite Element Analysis (both solid and fluid), and in Topology Optimization.
Program for the 3rd International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials & Tissues now available at http://www.icmobt.elsevier.com/programme09.htm
Plenary and keynote speakers include:
Professor Julian Vincent, Professor of Biomimetics, Bath University, UK
-Stiffness and toughness of biological materials
I have posted the second edition of my book “Mechanics of Materials” online for free educational use. The book was reviewed and checked for accuracy by 30 faculty across the USA and was line edited by a professional editor.
The preface in the book describes the objectives and the design of the book, with details elaborated further in “Note to the Instructor”. The “Note to the Students” elaborates the many pedagogical features of the book. All these are in the file labeled “Table of content and front end material”.
Dear
All
any body had idea about what is the WRC code anf from where it is available?i want to find one relation between Et(tangent modules) ,Es(secant modules) and allowable comp.stress ?
if any one knows plz let me know..
Regards
ASit
Horacio Espinosa and I welcome the submission of new abstracts for a minisymposium on "Mechanics of Crystalline Nanostructures", to be held at the 2010 US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM 2010), June 27-July 2 at Penn State University.
hello everybody,
i'm very much new new to ABAQUS 6.7-4, which i'm using it in my project work.
i just wanted some help regarding the procedures or any kind of tutorial that will help me learnig the software.
thank you.
