Applied Mechanics Division – Haythornthwaite Foundation Research Initiation Grants 2017
With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2017, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time the award is made.
A new Matlab toolbox to analyze slip transfer through grain boundaries using EBSD and nanoindentation experimental dataset.
We developed a Matlab toolbox (https://github.com/stabix) to analyze strain transfer in bicrystal and polycrystal, using EBSD and nanoindentation experimental data.
Next Indentation workshop (SF2M-GIME) in Liège (Belgium) in september 2018.
Dear colleagues,
We inform you that the next indentation conference from the Groupe Indentation Multi-Echelle (GIME) will be held in Liège (Belgium) on 11-14 September 2018. The conference gathers every two years, scientists and industrials concerned by the problems of mechanical characterization of surfaces. In 2018, this conference is organized by Belgian scientists: ULg, CRM Group, UCL et UMons. In line with the 2016 edition, we organize two half-days of training on indentation, preceding the 2-day symposium.

Reaction diffusion problems in mechanics
For those interested in this topic, we are organizing a minisymposium at the European Solid Mechanics Conference (sponsored by EUROMECH) in Bologna, in 2018, see session 9.2:

Some examples are:
Reaction diffusion and Brinkman flow to model chemical reactions and the motion of a contaminated viscous fluid:
Johnson-Holmquist model in Abaqus
Hello,
I am trying to model SiC as a ceramic material using the Johnson-Holmquist model.
As in Abaqus this material model is not available using GUI I have to specify in the input file as shown in example 2.1.18 High velocity impact of ceramic target.
In this example silicon carbide material has been used with following parameters
rho0 = 3.215e-9
G = 193000.
A = 0.96
N = 0.65
B = 0.35
M = 1.0
C = 0.009
edot0 = 1.0
T = 750
sigIMax = 12200
sigFMax = 1300
Failure of brittle materials using simple experiments- Part 2
Here is my second video, where I tried to explain the concepts of stress state, principal stresses, Mohr circle and failure theories in layman's language and associated these concepts to explain the failure of a brittle material.
