Cyclic Plasticity of Additively Manufactured (AM) Metals: Experimental Investigation & Constitutive Modelling

Dear IMECE Attendees:

The Applied Mechanics Executive Committee (AMD-EC) is pleased to announce the 2016 IMECE student travel award and best paper competition.

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, 2016, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time the award is made.

Does anyone know the open source program for Displacement Discontinuity method?

There are two PhDs opening in my group at EPFL: one on dense suspensions flow & one on experimental investigation in hydraulic fracturing. More details can be found on the group web page at http://gel.epfl.ch/page-127573.html

Highly motivated applicants should contact me to state their interest. In parallel, an application to the EPFL doctoral school in mechanics (http://phd.epfl.ch/edme) must be filed.

Hi Dears

I have a question about B-Spline or NURBS. Assume that we have a X(u)=sig(Ri,p(u)).Xi that Xi are the control points and Ri,p are the rational basis functions. When I choose a parametric variable like ui according to control point by interpolation I can find the X(ui), now the question is this that can I find the parametric variable according to having an spatial X(u)??? It means that can I find the parametric variable that have resulted a spatial X(u) that I have it???
thanks for your attention.
