dear mechanicians,
i am student of btech 2nd year,mechanical from iit roorkee.i am looking forward for doing project work in solid mechanics.i know it's a vast topic and thats why i want your help in guiding me.i have not had this as a subject till now so i am confused about ani idea of project work.please give me some details as to where to start with.very thanks.
Dear Prof. Li, i have made two figures about rupture strains of films on elastomer according to the datas shown in your papers-- "Deformability of thin metal films on elastomer substrates" International Journal of Solids and Structures 43 (2006) 2351–2363. and "Stretchability of thin metal films on elastomer substrates" APL85(2004). According to the papers, the stiffer or thicker the elastomer substrates, the larger rupture strains, then where would be the curve with H/h =200? Whether the rupture strain is even large, according to your simulations?

Vanderbilt University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is seeking candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position commencing Fall 2007. Appointment at the assistant professor level is anticipated but higher ranks will be considered for truly outstanding candidates. The successful candidate will have research and teaching expertise in structures with a research focus in one or more of the following areas: structural health monitoring, systems-scale failure analysis, dynamic control, computational mechanics and micromechanics, advanced materials (e.g., n
This is a second graduate course in solid mechanics, and explores coupled mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical actions. The course draws heavily upon phenomena in soft materials.

Dear Wei and Mogadalai,
As mentioned earlier I am trying to solve for a vector {x} from
{x'}=[A(t)]{x}
where [A(t)] is known matrix of size (2X2) at the max 4x4, elements and are functions of "t".
{x} is a vector (nX1) function of 't'
{x'} is derivative of {x} with respect to 't'.

A three-year fully funded PhD and a two-year postdoctoral scholarships are available immediately within a research project financed by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF).
The project deals with the theoretical modelling and numerical simulation of snow avalanches. Some emphasis is given to the interaction between snow avalanches and protection structures. The research of the applicants will include the further development of the theoretical model and the numerical analysis aimed at optimizing obstruction geometry and arrangement of snow protection. We expect candidates from one of the following research fields: physics, mathematics, engineering science, particularly fluid mechanics. The candidates should have a strong theoretical or numerical background, and proficiency in English.
I just came across the lecture notes from Professor Nix on Mechanical Properties of Thin Films. It is very educative and helpful. I wonder if anyone could recommend some analytical derivation on the stress of the adhesive layer between two similar/dissimilar adherends (sandwiched specimen) under mechanical or thermal loading.
Many thanks ...
