Invitation to join the Finite Element Analysis Google Group.
Many information about finite element analyses is added by users.
Recently, the Royal Society Science book prize shortlist was announced; though the shortlisted books cover psychology, evolution, biodiversity, medicine and neurobiology, none in the area of materials or mechanics made it to the list. Or, pick any Best American Science writing volume--there are hardly any articles about materials or mechanics that make it to these anthologies.
An overview of several approaches to computational fracture mechanics for ductile structural metals.
The 19th Annual Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis was held last Friday, April 27, at ETH Zurich. Two medalists were selected this year from the six finalists. The 2007 Melosh Medalists are Vikram Gavini, from Caltech, and Michael Hain, from Leibniz University, Hannover.
Good evening Everyone,
I have some confusion regarding reference frame and origin point while dealing with concept of weight function in fracture mechanics.
Please check the attached file for complete details.

David Turnbull died peacefully at home last Saturday, April 28th, at age 92.
He was for many years Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics at Harvard University. His seminal work included theoretical and experimental studies of nucleation of crystals, the glass transition and the amorphous state, crystal growth, and atomic diffusion.
<>To describe the crack propagation in a fluid saturated solid I have idea to combine the Strong Discontinuity (XFEM) with the fluid, but at the micro-scale, which probably means to use (Navier-)Stokes equations or some modification of them. <>
