shoremeter

Submitted by violetlover on

hello everybody.

 

ı am looking for relationship between shore D and shore A.Not a curve i need chart.I would be appreciated if you send me this diagram.I have some hypolon and PU roll .I am using  shoremeter  to see the hardness .

if you have you may send  violetlover [at] mynet.com (violetlover[at]mynet[dot]com)

 

have a nice day

Equilibrium and stability of dielectric elastomer membranes undergoing inhomogeneous deformation

Submitted by Tianhu He on

Dielectric elastomers are capable of large deformation subject to an electric voltage, and are promising for uses as actuators, sensors and generators. Because of large deformation, nonlinear equations of state, and diverse modes of failure, modeling the process of electromechanical transduction has been challenging.  This paper studies a membrane of a dielectric elastomer deformed into an out-of-plane, axisymmetric shape, a configuration used in a family of commercial devices known as the Universal Muscle Actuators.

Tom Milnes' First Blog Entry

Submitted by milnes on

Hi All,

--I have taken 3 previous courses in solid mechanics. 

--My undergraduate major was mechanical engineering, with a concentration in vehicle dynamics.

-- My strength is that I've had some of this material before.  My weakness is that I haven't seen it for a few years.

--I'm a masters student so I don't have a research group.  I do work part time for a hedge fund though.

--Solid mechanics will add an interesting dimension to my education.

PS2 Question 6

Submitted by Pratheev Sreetharan on

I have not taken any courses focusing on mechanics before, though ES51 (Computer Aided Machine Design) briefly touched on some topics.  My undergraduate major was Physics.  My strengths will be my comfort with mathematics as well as my exposure to professor Howard Stone's undergraduate class in Fluid Mechanics (ES123).  My weakness will definitely be my lack of exposure to any other mechanics courses.

Scholarships for Computational Mechanics in the UK for non-EU students

Submitted by Stephane Bordas on

Dear non-EU students who want to study in the UK,

You are encouraged to look at the fellowship offers below. If you qualify for these and are interested in working in a dynamic group in computational mechanics in Glasgow, please contact me directly stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com

 Our department has a growing team of PhD students (more than 20 at the moment) working in cognate disciplines, which will give you a unique opportunity for a strong PhD in computational mechanics.
