Introducing Ansys Innovation Courses
ANSYS, Inc. has been investing time and resources into their knowledge resources and academic program and their recent contribution to the community is the "Ansys Innovation Courses". These are on-demand physics-based courses that are free for everyone which empowers students and professionals to visualize, reinforce, and rapidly master key physics concepts, with the help of simulations.
Asking for a paper
Hello all,
I am looking for the following paper: Nash, C. D. "Fatigue of self-healing structure-a generalized theory of fatigue failure." MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Vol. 89. No. 2. 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017: ASME-AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENG, 1967.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere. Even I ordered it through RACER but they sent the abstract to me. I would really appreciate it if someone can provide me with this paper.
regards,
Faezeh
IMECE (Virtual) 11/15-19, 2020 - Call for abstracts: Instabilities in Solids and Structures
Dear Colleagues,
We hope you and your families are all doing well during these challenging times.
This is a reminder to submit an abstract to the "Instabilities in Solids and Structures" symposium for the 2020 IMECE.
Due to COVID-19 the conference this year will be virtual (please see https://event.asme.org/IMECE for more info). Note that the final deadline is Friday, July 31.
A study of hypervelocity glancing collisions
Most of the research carried out on hypervelocity collisions, of the kind encountered in space, assume that the projectile hits a stationary target. In reality, both the target and the projectile are moving at high velocity in a non-colinear fasion. We present here a study of this phenomenon and its rfelationship with oblique impact.
Assistant Professor "Multiscale modelling of multifunctional supramolecular materials"
We are looking for an Assistant Professor who can strengthen our position in the field of Multiscale modelling of multifunctional supramolecular materials at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. The development of bio-inspired supramolecular and hybrid (nano) materials is attracting much interest.
Two new books for continuum mechanics of solids
I would like to announce two new books that Prof. Lallit Anand and I have just published on continuum mechanics of solids.
On the Degree of Irreversibility of Friction in Sheared Soft Adhesive Contacts
A number of authors have experimentally assessed the influence of friction on adhesive contacts, and generally the contact area has been found to decrease due to tangential shear stresses at the interface. The decrease is however generally much smaller than that predicted already by the Savkoor and Briggs 1977 classical theory using “brittle” fracture mechanics mixed mode model extending the JKR (Griffith like) solution to the contact problem.

Superior biomimetic nacreous bulk nanocomposites by a multiscale soft-rigid dual-network interfacial design strategy, Chen, Gao, et al., Yu, Matter, 2019
Novelty/impact/significance:
A multiscale soft-rigid dual-network interfacial design strategy produces nacre-like bulk composites with superior mechanical properties, improved stabilities in high humidity and temperature, and the process is a facile, efficient, and scalable fabrication.
