Peridynamic theory vs. classical continuum theory
Dr. Stewart Silling has provided me with a copy of his talk on Peridynamic theory that he presented at McMat 2007. The PDF file of the talk is attached below.
In order to deal with classical material models and volume constraints, Dr. Silling has modified the original theory to allow for forces that are not necessarily pairwise. A bit on that is included in the talk.
POST-DOCTORAL POSITION ON COMPUTATIONAL MECHANICS AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY
The group of Mechanics &
Computation in the Mechanical Engineering department at Stanford University has
an opening for a postdoctoral position in the area of computational mechanics
as part of the new Army High-Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC),
under the direction of Adrian Lew. The appointment
is normally made for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second
year. The ideal candidate would have a strong background on
computational solid mechanics and have programming experience, ideally in C++.
A good background in mathematics, especially numerical analysis, will be

Call for Papers: Multiscale Modeling and Simulation: from Molecules to Cells to Organisms
Dear Colleague,
We want to draw your attention to and encourage your participation in a special session on Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of the thirteenth Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), to be held January 4-8, 2008, on the Big Island of Hawaii. PSB is an international, multidisciplinary conference with high impact on the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance.
Franc2D residual Load
Good morning,
I am using franc2d and I would like to know how can I apply a residual stress field. The manual that I have states that I have to write an ASCII file with the extension *.rsi from the option residual load.
Does anybody know how can I write such file in order to input my residual stress field or has anybody an example file?
Is it also possible to apply another load with this residual stress field after inputting the residual stress field?
Thanks a lot,
Sguaiz
