After discussion with Xuanhe, I believe that B=0 for Q21 because there's no cut-and-weld operation here. Then the solusion is exactly the Lame Solution in Cylindrical Shape as in Q8.
What do you think?
I would like to recommend "Elasticity: Theory, Applications, and Numerics" by Prof. Martin H. Sadd as a reference for ES240. The book, as its name indicated, is mainly focused on elasticity theory and its applications, but also discusses numerical methods such as finite element method and boundary element method.
Prof. Martin H. Sadd, organized the book into two parts: I. foundations, and II Advanced topics. In part I, the book clearly outlines the basic equations of elasticity, i.e. strain/displacement relation, Hooke's law, and equilibrium equation. The other context of part I is devoted to the formulation and solution of two-dimensional problems. This structure matches the progress of our class very well.
The second part of the book begins with the discussion of anisotropic elasticity, thermo-elasticity, and micromechanics. These topics are complementary to the notes of ES240, and helpful in solving homework problems. In its last chapter, the book introduced finite element method and boundary element method.
In response to a proposal by Zhigang Suo in November 2005, the Executive Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME has created a new Technical Committee on Integrated Structures. The main purpose is to provide a home at AMD for those who are working in the interdisciplinary areas involving applied mechanics and integrated materials/structures such as microelectronics and biomedical technologies. Read more here.
To forge the link between academia and industries, the committee will be co-chaired by industrial and academic members. For the first year, Jun He of Intel and Rui Huang (myself) have served as the co-chairs. As the 2006 ASME Congress (November 5-10) coming around the corner, we would like to draw your attention to our first activities at the congress.
While studying (very diligently) for my upcoming midterm, I discovered a wonderful Wiki that provides problems and solutions for many collegiate math courses.
well ,this is my first article .I am very glad to be one of imechanica. Now I am a Ph.D candidate at a Institute.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Technical University of Denmark and Risø National Laborarory together seek a candidate for a Post Doc position. This position concerns growth of debonds in sandwich structures subjected to cyclic loads. The main research areas where these methods are to be developed include: Fracture mechanics for material interfaces, crack propagation modelling in structural components, material testing of sandwich face/core interface properties and experimental life time prediction of structural components.

The Fuel Cells and Solid State Chemistry Department at Risø National Laboratory, Denmark, is seeking a postdoc to work on the fracture mechanics of solid oxide fuel cells.
The work consists of theoretical analysis, computations as well as experimental work. You will work together with the people making cells and stacks, and with the fracture mechanics group in the Materials Research Department.

I am pleased to announce that a new blolg associated with the International Journal of Fracture has been created by Springer. This is an ambitious project that aims to augment the published version of the papers and to create a dialogue between authors and readers. All articles beginning with the Dec 2004 issue now have a blog entry; ealier volumes will be added as digital processing of information continues. Discussion is not restricted to papers published in the journal, but should relate to the fracture/failure/structural integrity theme/micromechanics. Please see my post of Oct 25, 2006 for a detailed description of the obectives of the blog. I welcome your particpation in this experiment to enhance archival publication.
Book Title: Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Engineering Methods for Deformation, Fracture, and Fatigue (Second Edition, Third Edition released earlier this year)
Author: Norman E. Dowling
The book starts with a general overview and introduction to the mechanics of materials, but later emphasizes deformation, fracture and fatigue of materials. The following is a list of the chapters in the second edition:
(1) Introduction- Discusses types of material failure, design and materials selection, technological challenges, and the economic importance of fracture.
