Validity of Cauchy-Born hypothesis in multi-scale modeling of plastic deformations
The Cauchy-Born (CB) hypothesis has been widely used in multi-scale modeling of crystalline nano-structures.
Elastica compass, catapult and soft robot arm
When an elastic rod with a rotating clamp behaves as a deformable compass or as a deformable catapult?
Susmel-Papuga sharp controversy about multiaxial fatigue criteria
I recently came across this sharp controversy between Papuga and Susmel on multiaxial fatigue criteria. Papuga accuses Susmel of "picking up" data that he likes from the literature, disregarding other data... And of having some constants in the criteria that are set a posteriori as fitting parameters. Do you know how this ended up? Anyone else partecipated to the debate?

Ph.D. Candidate Position on “Characterization of the local mechanical behavior of elastomer materials by instrumented nanoindentation”
One Ph.D. candidate position is available in the Fall 2017 in the Elastomer Research Center (Cermel) at the Laboratory of Mechanics and Rheology (LMR) in the Polytechnic School of the University of Tours in France.
Job description
The aim of this Ph.D. is to extend the comprehension of the local mechanisms involved in elastomer materials, in order to faithfully reproduce their behavior in finite element models. The Ph.D. applicant is expected to carry out both theoretical and experimental work.
