apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not?
dear Imechanica friends
here is an apparent paradox: for a sliding flat punch on a viscoelastic halfspace, friction is zero or not? Certainly there seems to be viscoelastic dissipation, but the pressure is also normal to dispacements, so am I missing something obvious here? Any help is welcome!
Thanks
Mike
Faculty Position in the engineering of habitats in extreme environments (UT Austin)
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention a faculty opening at the University of Texas at Austin, Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, which might be of interest to recent PhD graduates, or graduating PhDs of your program. Specifically, we are looking to add to our faculty a colleague with expertise in the engineering of habitats in extreme environments: of particular interest, and strongly advised to apply, are candidates with expertise in the engineering of extraterrestrial habitats.
