Ph.D. Position in Computational Solid Mechanics

Submitted by A.Tabarraei on

Two PhD positions are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
The research project is in the multiscale modeling of the stress corrosion cracking. Candidates should have a strong background in continuum mechanics, finite elements modeling and/or molecular dynamics simulations. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is a big plus. The starting date for this position is January 2018 or August 2018. Interested candidates please send a detailed CV along with the name and contact info of three references to atabarra [at] uncc.edu.

Tangent modulus of the Mooney-Rivlin based Neo-hookean - Could you check my derivation??

Submitted by Hobeom Kim on

Hello.

 

I study solid mechanics at a graduate school.

 

I tried to derive tangent modulus of the Mooney-Rivlin based Neo-Hookean material.

 

There might be no error in my derivation, but answer is wrong with referred right answer.

 

So, could you check my derivation?

 

I attached my derivation as a figure.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.
