Design Centered Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs?

Submitted by Gus Engstrom on

I would like to pursue graduate study in thefield of mechanical engineering design. I am familiar with Stanford's JointProgram in Design which emphasizes Human-Centered Design, Design Creativity,and Desirability along with standard graduate engineering subject matter. Ihave not however been able to locate other graduate schools which emphasizedesign methodology in such a way. I would be very interested if anyone hasknowledge of schools who teach similar design centered graduate programs.

schmid factor in the single plasticity code of Huang

Submitted by Wang Guofeng on

 Hello

In the code of Prof.Huang, the schmid factor was defined.

For slip deformation tensors

slpdef4=s1m2+s2m1 

slpdef5=s1m3+s3m1

slpdef6=s2m3+s3m2 

For slip spin tensors

slpspn4=(s1m2+s2m1)/2

slpspn5=(s1m3+s3m1)/2

slpspn6=(s2m3+s3m2)/2

 I can't understand the difference of 1/2. Please give me some explanations.

thanks

Dear all,

               I have a great intrest towards structures static analysis but the thing is i dont know FEM.I want to learn FEM from basics.it will be very help full for me if any body can suggest a book or provide me wid some softdata.please send me link or attachment to maruthir [at] infotechsw.com (maruthir[at]infotechsw[dot]com).

Thanking u,
