H-M coupled problem

Submitted by hectorlevatti on

Hello, I'm working in my doctoral thesis. I work in drying cracks in soils. At the moment I'm starting to implement my code but I want to start with simplest case.

My problem is high nonlinear and for this reason I need to solve for example flow in unsaturated porous media. Are there any code in matlab to solve nonlinear problems in 1D ? for flow in porouos media or for heat transmition it could be useful for me.

Thank you very much.

Power of iMechanica during job hunting

Submitted by L. Roy Xu on

In July 2007, my friend of a consulting company contacted me for recruiting a computational mechanics engineer. I told him that all my graduate students found jobs, and there are not many mechanics students in our small department. So, I posted his ad at iMechanica. Only after one week, he asked me to withdraw this ad! Why?

 

Because many high-qualified applicants contacted him in one week and, he’d give the offer right away.  I believe this example is an index of active user groups of iMechanica.

I am a novice (new one) on this web site and I just began, I am preparing my master on composites and I think that you have more informations than me on this subject my problem is that Iam in the coparative step between my results and the others.

my work is on the crack of composites mode II (sliding mode) I'm modelizing that phenomen with finit element to find the enegy of sustitution the problem is that I have not found any results by web and unfotunatly we have not books on this subject in my university.
