An old and unfunded proposal to NSF to create iMechanica

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Mon, 05/28/2007 - 11:13

In response to a NSF call for proposal on Cyberinfrastructure Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century Workforce (CI-TEAM), in June 2006, several of us submitted a proposal entitled "iMechanica: Leveraging Cyberinfrastructure to Evolve All Knowledge of Applied Mechanics"

I'd like to know something about Carbon Fiber

Dear all,

Recently I got something info from my colleagues about Carbon Fiber. Now more and more this kind material is using in Aerospace, and it has a very nice future.

As it's very abrasive when cutting it, so there's lots of problems for machining.

So, could you anyone give me some info about this material? or where can I go for it?

thanks a lot

Hi,

I am modeling a deep drawing process in ABAQUS, but i don't know how to difine pressure-overclosure and what it's effect is.Please guide me,thanks.

Molecular dynamics-Isothermal

Submitted by prasadmvd on Sun, 05/27/2007 - 12:37

How we can examine the equilibrium state of a Isothermal molecular system..

I am doing a code for MD with scaling the velocities to keep the temp. constant..so here with that energy is not conserved..so wat is the measure to fix the number of time steps to stop the run at equilibrium state..

Hi , I am a working on a project of Continuum Damage mechanics in Composite . But I do not have much idea about Damage mechanics . I am getting lot of diffculites to understand this topic .

So please anyone let me know any basic literature, lecture notes where I can find all basic information about Damage mechanics .

Thanks in Advance,

Regards.
